Tiki statues can be used as decorations at tiki parties.
Tiki parties offer outdoor fun and a festive atmosphere. Guests typically enjoy tiki parties because they feel as though they are entering a relaxing getaway complete with grass skirts and tiki torches. If you are considering having a tiki party, know that with just a few accents, you can transform your venue into an island-inspired party. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorations
Tiki parties are not complete without tiki torches. Scatter a few torches around your yard or venue and you will instantly evoke an island feel. To add more island fun, greet your guests at the door with leis. Hang fishnets from ceilings and doorways and ask that your guest come dressed in island attire, suggests the Paradise Found Online website. Fill an inflatable child's pool with ice and drinks. Purchase small tiki statues and island cups and plates at your local party store. To top it off, line your tables with grass skirts. Place fish, bird and palm tree balloons around your venue, along with tropical fruit, such as pineapples, used as decoration. Sprinkle some sand on the tables and bar and use clear, glass bowls that feature goldfish as the centerpieces.
Food
You can't have a tiki party without a few fruity frozen drinks available. Fire up the blender and offer your guests pina coladas, mai tais, strawberry daquaris, hurricanes and other fun cocktails. Arrange an assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables, along with foods that are reminiscent of the island, such as shish kabobs or coconut chicken skewers. Grilled coconut shrimp, deviled eggs and crab canapes also make for delicious tiki party fare, suggests the Theme Parties 'N' More website. If you want to include your guests in the menu decision, ask that they each bring an island-inspired entree to the party.
Games
To get everyone in the tiki mood, be sure to include a few games in the party. Perhaps the most well-known tropical party game is the limbo. Award island-inspired prizes to the guests who can go the lowest. Hire a hula expert to give hula-dancing lessons, or have a hula hoop contest. You could also have a singing or dancing contest that features tropical music. Hang island-themed pinatas around your venue and fill them with tropical prizes, such as dried coconut or pineapple. Use your imagination and have fun when deciding which games and activities to feature at your tiki party.
