For an inexpensive and simple theme for a fancy dress, why not go Hawaiian? A Hawaiian theme lends itself perfectly to fancy dress parties – everyone has a swimming costume in their wardrobe and Hawaiian accessories are affordable and easy for everyone to wear. You can even serve Hawaiian themed food and drinks. Here are some tips for organising the perfect Hawaiian fancy dress party.
• Send Themed Invitations
Your invitations should reflect the mood you want to create for your party. Make sure that they make it clear that you are hosting a Hawaiian themed party. Look for invitations in bright, tropical colours with tiki prints. You can also use your invitations to let your guest know what fancy dress outfits you want them to wear to the party.
• Set The Scene
Whatever venue you use for your Hawaiian themed party, you should aim to make it look as much like a tropical postcard as possible. You can use a beach front backdrop and set the scene further with Hawaiian decorations, plastic palm trees and tiki totem poles. Inexpensive Hawaiian garlands also make great decorations for your venue. The decorations you use should help get everyone into the party spirit.
• Wear the Perfect Costumes
Encourage all your guests to attend your party in Hawaiian dress, wearing grass skirts, board shorts and tropical-print shirts. You can even provide every guest with floral leis when they arrive at your party. Hawaiian outfits are ideal for helping all your party-goers let go of the inhibitions.
