Kylee had a Hawaiian party a few years ago. Sometimes you can find stuff at the dollar tree, more the closer you get to summer. Also Oriental Trading has a ton of stuff/

Yeah, I was going to say OTC is my go to site for themed party stuff. They have big palm trees for $4.99!

That'll be fun! I had a luau for my 8th birthday and it was awesome.

That sounds like such a great time, I always love Hawaiian themed parties! I second the Dollar Tree! Or if you have a Big Lots in your area. They always have tons of Luau stuff! I'll keep my eye out for you!

[Caitlin]

Fun! Get little leis for the party guests. I'm sure they have those super cheap at the party store.

I threw my sister a Hawaiian themed baby shower, and instead of buying a cake, I made vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese iceing and sprinkled brown sugar n top to look like sand. Then I added little umbrellas and some dots upside down to look like pales. I also used pales for chips, crackers, and pretzel sticks.

[Mommax3]

Oh Rayanne that is adorable. I love the pail idea for the chips and things too.

[MylissaJane]

That turned out SOOOOO cute, Rayanne! I love that idea and might have to steal it for Dh's birthday this year!!

[Jojo]

Oh cute ideas Rayanne!

I want a luau party now :)

[Meshell]

I think Leah did one for Talon's birthday. Hopefully she peeks her head in here to give you some ideas!!!

[Heather]

So cute, Rayanne!

Oriental Trading Co. is definitely good, and I did see some luau themed stuff at The Dollar Tree last year when I was doing our company luau. Also, Party City of course, but they're not the cheapest place.

[Leah]

Yes..we did a luau for Talon's 1st birthday. I got most of the decor at Oriental Trading Co and they have great stuff. Look online for coupon codes if you order from them. Here are some pics.

For favors I got those little cellophane bags that have hibiscus flowers printed on them and put in chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies that I made. I gave those little plastic rubber duckies dressed in Hawaiian garb to the kiddos. The blow up palm tree was also a cooler, which was nice for sodas and water. I aslo ordered a Hawaiian themed CD that we played.

My MIL grew up in Hawaii, so she made a lot of the food and we ordered a couple things for a local Hawaiian BBQ place. We also bought the hawaiian fruit sodas. The cake was from Sams Club and I just added the luau ducks to the cake, which we also gave those little ducks as favors.

The photo Op (the hawaiian scene thing you put your face through) was a big hit! Got everyone laughing.:p
