How should I DECORATE my backyard...?

Question

for my hawiian themed seveteenth birthday?

and/or what other activites should we do?

Answer 1

get a bunch of tiki torches for all over the yard, find tropical cut outs to hang up all over, some blow up palm trees, surf boards.  heres a site with tons of stuff http://www.orientaltrading.com/applicati...

Answer 2

Decorate your luau with touches of Polynesian flair: coconut cups, pineapple plates, multi-color lantern lights, bamboo reeds and tiki torches. Accent white light strands with tropical flowers and palm fronds from the local florist. Bird of paradise, red ginger, and anthurium arrangements are big and bold, so you'll only need a few.

Bowls filled with river rock and tealights make festive centerpieces without breaking the bank. Forgo the fake leis and opt for fresh, single flowers instead. Hibiscus hard to find? Orchids too expensive? Carnations are a perfect alternative. Your guests will be pleasantly surprised to have individual blossoms attached to shirt lapels or pinned in hair — easy, exotic elegance!

Dust off that ukulele and start doing the hula. A luau is the perfect time to don some grass skirts and have guests learn Hawaii's traditional dance. If you want to give them a lesson they won't forget, try hiring a local instructor. Or you can learn low-budge from instructional videos.

Guests of all ages will love a Hula Hoop contest. See who can keep his or her hoop going for the longest time or who can master circling the hoop around the knees or feet.

Finish everything off with a few rounds of limbo. Wrap a pole (or broomstick) in some floral garland to give it an island feel, and challenge guests to see how low they can go.

Answer 3

Haul in a couple of truckloads of white sand for "beach" volleyball.  Dig a big  honking pit for roasting the pig.  Set up some poles for limbo, some comfortable seats for the judges and a garden hose for the wet T-shirt contest.  If anybody doesn't carfe for those activities, as the Queen once said, "Let them eat cake."

Answer 7

Oriental Trading Co. has lots of inexpensive decorations & favors for luaus (including grass skirts to put around your tables).....  Home Depot has solar bamboo tiki torches ...  Use big artificial (or real) leaves under the plates of food, and scatter little purple artificial orchids all over the tables ...  .... You could get some hula dvds, and all learn to hula:) Limbo stick contest;  fill a jar with tropical flavored jelly bellies and have people guess how many are in there;  "pass the orange" relays.....
