Turn a bare patio into a tropical paradise for your luau party. Go for colorful decorations such as centerpieces made of various fruits and flowers. Line up the perimeter with silk palm trees with leaves that will gently sway in the breeze. Use other décor that are typically associated with the tropics.

Send out invites using luau themed cards. You may even request your guests to come in luau attire. Prepare fresh leis and cool tropical drinks to welcome them with. Plan a menu that includes barbeque, chicken stew, fried rice, fruit salad and other yummy tropical offerings. Add a dramatic flair to the party once night falls by lighting up bamboo torches set in various areas of the venue.
