My sis's luau party...plz..ideas??

Question

Answer 1

oh this should be fun! =] you should buy some luau CD's & some cheap grass skirts like at the dollar store & have them wear them & dance. you can serve chilled drinks like pineapple juice in a glass with those cute little umbrellas & lemon wedge on the glass. If you have a chocolate fountain, put it on a big table with a plate of strawberries & some modern food like nachos, pizza, chips, candy, you know. That'll give it a little twist! & plus, if you have modern food, you'll be sure it won't go to waste rather than making exotic hawaiin food & no one eating it. you should have a limbo & put on hawaiin music while your guests eat & drink. you can give them those candy pineapples, funky sunglasses, fruity candy, & let them keep their skirts for their goody bags. i mean, what are you gonna do with all those skirts? you should also serve fruit punch, haha. have fun & tell your sister i said happy birthday!(:
