Let us start with one of the simplest ideas and prove that these ideas need not be expensive. Create your own unique customised invitation using your computer's document program and clip art graphics. Try out some font (character) styles. There are many websites offering free fonts which can be downloaded to your own computer. Print these onto a good quality paper or thin card and then make them funkier by adding fabric and tropical effects. For example if you have included a picture of a parrot, stick some small colourful feathers on it's tail or if you have a hula girl, use fabric over her skirt.

Use a message in a bottle themed invitation. Either using small glass bottles or alternatively purpose designed small plastic bottles into which you can drop your invitation and some sand or small beach pebbles. A cork stopper for the top and hey presto, instant luau invitation.

If you are going for a message in a bottle theme, it's good practise to roll the invitation so that the words can be seen/read through the bottle. After all, you want them to know its and invitation. If you really want to be sure, use a small strung label with he wording 'invitation inside' and attached under the stopper. And if you have chosen glass bottles, you could use sealing wax to finish the effect.

An additional idea for a really luxurious finish; why not use aged paper for the invitation? This is easy enough to create using a shallow dish and a weak tea solution. Let the paper soak in the dish and whilst it's still wet, flick a few instant coffee flakes onto the surface. These should dissolve creating slightly darker areas. You can crumple the paper and then let it dry flat. Instant aged paper which can be used in a number of invitation themes.

For an easier postal option, why not find a clip art of a suitcase onto which you can print a Hawaii label which can include your party's 'tag line'. Print this out onto a thin card and the cut it out to shape. Attach a card luggage label completed with all of the party details to the handle of the suitcase seal in an envelope and post.

Novelty sunglass themed invitations. Your local party shop will probably stock a range of novelty sunglasses shaped like coconuts, margarita glasses, palm trees etc. Again using a simple card luggage label with the information attached - along with the message that the guest will need the sunglasses on the day - parcel up and post.

As we are looking specifically at a luau theme, you need not feel restricted to sunglasses, why not send a colourful hair slide or shell necklace and bracelet or grass skirt or anything else that is readily identifiable with your chosen theme. A visit and stroll around your local party store will get your mind racing with the possibilities.

We hope that you will find some of these ideas useful and remember creating your own unique designs should add to the pleasure of the luau both for you and your guests.

Music is essential to a successful Luau. It will help get everyone in the mood to party, dance and enjoy themselves.

Some of the most popular Luau music can be found in the album Drew's Famous Luau Party Music with songs such as such as Surfin' USA, Don't Worry Be Happy, Hawaii Five-0 Theme Song, Blue Hawaii and more. Drew's Famous Island Party Jams with various artists is also a great bet for your party. You should also have the traditional Don Ho Hawaiian Favorites, with songs such as Tiny bubbles and Pearly Shells.

For something interestingly different, try music by Israel IZ Kamakawiwo ole. Some other great classic albums for your party could be Blue Hawaii by Elvis, Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters, Best of Hawaii, by various artists, Hawaii s Greatest Hits by New Hawaiian Band, I am Hawaii by Hawaiian Escape, Taboo music of Hawaii by Arthur Lyman, Little Brown Girl, Hits of Hawaii and Cazimeros Best (all three of their albums). It should be mentioned that the Hawaiian slack key guitar is the sound most often associated with Hawaii and luaus. It is that dreamy sort of wandering melodious string instrument you might have heard in relation to Hawaii before. You might consider actually hiring a live instrumentalist for your luau - perhaps even a slack key guitarist. Now that would most certainly be the icing on the cake!

Aloha Sign Standee These luau decorations are sure to put your Prom or party guests in the Hawaiian spirit. Aloha Sign Welcome guests to your luau theme with this freestanding cardboard sign that is accented with twinkle lights. 3' high x 1' 6" wide x 1' deep. Assembly required.

These tunes will all bring the authentic Hawaiian atmosphere to your Luau feast, which your guests will remember for years to come!
