Decorate your Hawaiian party with palm trees and rainbows.
Although normally associated with warmer weather, a Hawaiian party might be just the perfect way to warm up during the cold winter months. Children enjoy Hawaiian-themed parties for the bold colors in decorations and food alike. Decorate your party venue to look like Hawaii with a few simple decorating tips. Does this Spark an idea?
Inflatables
Decorate your party area with various inflatables to lend a beach-like atmosphere. Include items such as beach balls, palm trees, and large turtles, sharks or dolphins to add whimsy. Not only will the inflatables help decorate the area, but you can incorporate them later on in the night as a part of games time for activities such as volleyball with beach balls, or seeing who can run the fastest while "riding" a shark.
Surfboards
Since Hawaii is a popular surfing destination, decorate the party area with surfboards and boogie boards to remind partygoers about the beach. Place surfboards on tabletops, propped against the walls and as extra seating on the ground. Decorate the tables by wrapping bowls with tropical silk flowers. Add smaller touches to the room that will evoke tropical feelings, such as placing whole pineapples, coconut halves, or sand on the tables.
Movies
Decorate the room with posters and plush figures from kids' movie favorites such as Disney's "Lilo and Stitch," which is set in Hawaii. Consider showing Hawaiian-themed movies like the classic "Gidget Goes Hawaiian," which can work as subliminal background decor.
Details
Plan your menu around the Hawaiian-theme, as well. Include fresh fruit such as pineapples, mangoes and coconuts. Decorate tables with bright Hawaiian-print tablecloths, bamboo or grass skirting. Don't forget to ask partygoers to dress in colorful bathing suits, Hawaiian shirts, khaki-colored shorts, sandals and sunglasses. Pass out plastic lays, available at party supply or craft stores, to the kids as they arrive. All these details will come together to set an inviting Hawaiian scene.
