Planning a first birthday is a big deal – and a Luau-themed party is the perfect way to celebrate your little one’s big milestone! A Luau-themed party is fun, laid-back, and full of bright colours. Here are some tips to help you plan this fun and festive celebration.
Party Invitations
The invitations should set the tone for the party and capture the essence of a Luau. Look for invitations that feature a tropical beach scene, a tiki hut, or hibiscus flowers. For a unique touch, consider including leis with the invitation.
Party Decorations
No Luau-themed party is complete without some festive decorations! Hang up a few tiki torches, paper lanterns, and palm fronds. Add a few beach-themed items like an inflatable beach ball, a surfboard, and a few sand pails. Hang a few colourful hula skirts on the walls and place some inflatable palm trees around the room. Lastly, don’t forget to add a few string lights for a festive atmosphere.



Fun Games & Activities
No party is complete without some fun games and activities to keep the little ones entertained. A Luau-themed party is the perfect opportunity to play some beach-themed games. Consider setting up a beach ball toss, a water balloon toss, and a limbo contest. You can also set up an inflatable pool and provide some beach toys for the kids to play with.
Fun Foods
At a Luau-themed first birthday party, you’ll want to serve some tropical-inspired dishes. Consider serving dishes like Hawaiian pizza, teriyaki chicken, and tropical fruit salad. You can also serve some fun party snacks like mini pineapples, coconut shrimp, and tempura vegetables. And of course, you’ll want to serve a festive birthday cake! Look for cakes that feature a beach scene, a tiki hut, or a hibiscus flower.
Fun Favors
At the end of the party, send the guests home with some fun party favours. Look for items like inflatable beach balls, leis, and plastic sunglasses. You can also put together some goody bags filled with candy, stickers, and other beach-themed trinkets.

What are some great venues for a Luau themed Kids Party?
Here are three of our favourites venues you can hold a Luau themed kids party in:
- The Beach: A beach is the perfect location for a Luau themed kids party. It provides a natural backdrop, ample space for games and activities, and allows for traditional Hawaiian activities such as hula dancing and lei-making. Make sure to bring sunscreen and plenty of water for the kids!
- Your Backyard: Hosting the party in your own backyard is a convenient and cost-effective option. You can decorate the space with tropical flowers, tiki torches, and grass skirts to create a festive atmosphere. Set up a Hawaiian buffet with fresh fruits, grilled meats, and tropical drinks. Activities like limbo and a treasure hunt will keep the kids entertained.
- A Community Center: Many community centers have large event spaces that can be rented for parties. This is a great option if you want to invite a lot of guests and need indoor space. Set up tables and chairs, decorate with colorful flowers and balloons, and hire a hula dancer to teach the kids some traditional Hawaiian moves. The center may even have a stage where the kids can put on a Luau-themed performance.
