Does anyone have any good ideas for a Luau party for childs first birthday?
Party invites, pinata, decorations, cake...
I had a hula party and I bought long toothpicks that had flowers on the end and cut up watermelon,strawberries,melon,... and grapes and made fruit sticks...
A pineapple upside down cake would be the perfect touch to a Hawaiian themed party.
goldfish crackers
Hawaiian pizza..
For drinks, take see through mini water bottles and remove the labels. Add water or clear soda and add food coloring to them to make red, yellow and orange and green colored "tropical punch" drinks.
Tropical Coolers
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 small package Kool-Aid (blue or orange for a tropical look)
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
Ice cubes
Strawberries (for garnish)
Add pineapple chunks to blender and blend for 30 seconds. Add Kool-Aid, sugar, water and ice cubes. Blend until smooth. Garnish edge of glasses with a strawberry.
Good Luck and have a blast!!!

Try looking up Oriental Trading Company. They have so many things for luaus that are very inexpensive. A lot of it looks kind of tacky but since its a child’s first birthday I don’t think it’ll matter too much. But they do have some nice things. Just don’t over do it.

If you have access to a baby pool, play some fun water games.
