   oh wow..i love such parties!
   BBQ is a must! u can BBQ pineallples as well…
   rice dishes..flavour the rice with butter and spices and add meat &/or vegetables in it..
   stuffed mushrooms…carve out the inside of the mushrooms and stuff it with cheese corn..its scrumptious!
   u can also boil corn grains and add butter, salt, pepper and a pinch of chilli powder to this to add a twang to the taste..
   also, roast a full corn and add lime and salt to it and serve this to your guests..
   open sandwiches r good..toppings can include salami, cheese spreads, mushrooms, tomato, etc..
   hot dogs and burgers r contemporary but welcome none-the-less..

   u wont have to serve too much time wondering how and when to serve waht.u can enjoy the party and allow the guests to serve themselves as well offering a vriety of choices..

   for drinks, beer, fruit punch, fruit juices, or mocktails if u can get hold of easy concotions..

   desserts u can include mousse, fruit pudding, cake, icecream etc..

   have a blast at your party!

   I have had a Summer Luau Party. We decided to make life easy for ourselves and did Hawaiian Hamburgers.
   Grilled some patties, pineapple pieces, bacon and onion on the BBQ and offered other toppings such as lettuce, cheese, beetroot, tomato etc.
   Everyone stacked their own burgers and only required a plate as no cutlery needed and was a great casual gathering.
   It was SOOOOOOO simple and easy, hardly any preparation time, and something a little different. Enjoy.

   Make it lite.A salad bar with a variety of items.Then do a tray with fruit Kabobs.You can use pretzel sicks if small children will be eating.Do cheese snack try.Put out some diced dry salami,ham,and cheese for the salad,in case someone is hungry.Keep it easy and you can have everything in the fridge days before.If not wanting the kabobs,do a large fruit bowl.Put it in a nice glass bowl to show the colors for the fruit.Sandwiches and dips are good with chips on the side.have fun so do as much as possible ahead of time.The desserts can be cookies,cupcakes,or brownies….
