Greet each guest with a flower lei.
There is a long tradition of playing games at bridal showers, but they can be boring and predictable. A luau-themed wedding shower offers an opportunity to break out of the traditional mold and try some games that are more active and exciting. Serve tropical snacks and cocktails to get the party started and then let the games begin. Award prizes to the winners. Does this Spark an idea?
Banana Swinging Race
Tie a string around each guest's waist and tie a banana to the other end. The banana should be hanging down between each person's legs a couple of inches above the ground. Each guest has to swing their hips and bend their knees to get the banana to hit their egg and roll it toward the finish line. First player across the line wins.
Limbo
Limbo is a must at any luau-themed party. Crank up the Hawaiian surf music and see how low your guests can go. Up the stakes by playing water limbo. Turn on a hose and have guests limbo under the water stream. When you get wet, you're out.
Hula Hoop Contest
Provide hula hoops for a competition between your guests. Give out prizes to the contender who can hula hoop the longest, with the most hula hoops at one time, and whoever can complete an obstacle course while hula hooping. You can buy adult hula hoops, which will improve everyone's hooping skills and make the games more competitive.
