Luau party invitations can be just as creative as the party itself.
A luau party theme works well for kids. Luau birthday invitations for children are easy and fun to make. Ask your child to help you design the cards. Use bright colors that reflect your party's tropical theme. Include key details about the party's activities in the invitation. For instance, if you have a pool, ask guests to bring their bathing suits. Add to the luau theme--ask the children to wear such beachwear as Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts and sandals or flip-flops. Does this Spark an idea?
Hula Invitation
Use cardstock in such colors as hot pink, bright red, sky blue and neon yellow to make this luau invitation. Print out a picture of a cartoon hula girl and cut it out. Glue the picture to a piece of cardstock. Cut out the picture again--the cardstock will make the invitation more durable.
Cut the hula girl in half at the hips. Use a brad to attach the two pieces. The girl's hips will wiggle back and forth while she dances the hula. Print the party details on the back of the invitation.
This invitation idea works well for a boy's birthday party--just replace the hula girl with a hula boy.
Tropical Flower
Tropical flowers work well on luau invitations. Decorate the invitation's borders with brightly colored Hawaiian flowers. List the party information in the center of the card.
Buy leis made of fake flowers for a three-dimensional invitation. Cut the flowers off. Glue them around the edge of the card.
Make a luau invitation in the shape of a Hawaiian flower. List the information inside the card or on the back.
Message in a Bottle
Skip the standard paper invites for a more creative idea. Send your guests a message in a bottle.
Use small, clear bottles. Fill the bottom of the bottle with sand. Add such decorations as tiny confetti flowers, sea shells, and mini sunglasses and flip-flops. Write the party details on a small piece of bright, tropical paper. Roll up the paper and slide it inside the bottle. Cork the bottle.
Deliver your luau birthday party invitations by hand or mail them to guests in a box marked "Fragile."
