Luau Theme Weddings
Luau Theme Weddings Create Hawaiian Atmosphere
Couples who want to capture the romantic ambiance of a tropical
island may consider having a luau theme wedding. Theme weddings in
themselves are fun. However luau theme weddings are more exciting
because guests are encouraged to let their guards down and party.
When planning a luau theme wedding, couples should make sure that
every aspect of the wedding has a tropical feeling. Invitations,
envelopes, and thank you cards should have designs that will remind
guests of being on a beach.

Guests should be informed that the wedding will be a luau so they
can dress appropriately. It may help if a card or note is included
with invitations stating the dress code. For example, some luau
weddings are semi-formal and the guests wear summery collar shirts,
sundresses, and slacks. Whereas other luau weddings are more casual
and guests wear beach attire or shorts.
The wedding ceremony and reception should have a Hawaiian
atmosphere. This mood can be created using tropical decorations.
Lilies and orchids are popular flowers from Hawaii. These flowers
can decorate the wedding cake, used as centerpieces on tables, and
hung on walls for decorating purposes.
Flowers can be given to guests as they arrived and placed in their
hair. The females in the bridal party may opt to dress in
traditional luau attire. Grass skirts can be incorporated into more
playful ceremonies. Lei’s also add to the Hawaiian luau feel.
Luaus are not complete without traditional Hawaiian food. Couples
with luau theme weddings may choose to have American food. However,
those who want to serve Hawaiian dishes should consult with a
caterer who has experience preparing Hawaiian meals.
There are certain foods and snacks that are served at traditional
Hawaiian luaus. These include roasted pig, poi, macadamia nuts, and
fresh fruits. Some caterers may not be knowledgeable about the right
type of food to serve. To create a real luau experience the couple
should make every effort to find a caterer with the expertise to
prepare delicious Hawaiian foods.
Entertainment is essential at weddings. Luau theme weddings are no
exception. The couple may choose entertainment based on their
budget. There are inexpensive luau games that everyone can play.
Games include hula contest, basket toss, lei making, etc. These
games are perfect for bringing guests together, and provide hours of
fun.
Couples with a large budget may opt to have a live band playing
Hawaiian music. Another option would be to have hula dancers perform
alongside the band. If hula dancers will be present, it may be a
good idea to schedule in a time where guests will be given the
opportunity to take hula dancing lessons. The lesson can be brief,
and designed to teach guests basic techniques so they can hula
through the night.
