Luau Birthday Party Invitations

An invitation sets the tone for the party before it ever starts – elegant, casual, silly – whatever you want, let your invitation reflect it. Creations for You offers a wide variety of personalized luau invitations. We even designed an invitation just for a luau birthday party.

Birthdays beg for a truly unique invitation! We can design a caricature invitation of the guest of honor. Not only is this genuinely special, the art for this invitation can be used for a sign in board, welcome cutout, photo opportunity or even thank you notes.

If you’re the creative type, then make your own invitation. Just 3 simple steps.

Decide what kind of paper you want to use. Heavy poster board, card stock, colored paper or fine linen are all possibilities.
Pick a graphic that matches your theme. (a picture of the birthday person is always a possibility). If you are using a computer grab a digital photo. If you are brave and are going to hand draw your invites use markers, glitter and don’t forget coordinating envelopes.
Decide what content you need. It’s pretty standard. When, where and why is usually sufficient. If you want them to bring something (food or drink) or if you want them to respond, let them know.
Throw some luau confetti in the envelope and you are good to go.

Food and Beverages

A luau birthday party says pineapple chicken, fruit kabobs, lomi salmon, Kalua pig with sweet potatoes, and mai tais; and those are certainly a great choices. But this is a birthday party so pizza, chili, easy to eat appetizers, desserts and birthday cake are all good choices as well – the food at your party can be as simple or elaborate as you want. My friends are getting older and are eating a little smarter so I try to get one “healthy” and one vegetarian option.

No matter what you serve, be sure to have plenty of beverages; all with personalized labels on the bottles. Each personalized label comes with your name, the date of the party, even a photo on it. Or choose one of the great Luau based labels. Don’t forget that you create the message so you can craft words that suit the occasion. Be sure to order extras so your guests can take home a bottle of the “house beverage.”

Entertainment

Day or night, great entertainment is key to the success of any party. Your guests will be standing in line to have their pictures taken with a life size photo opportunity from Creations for You. Make your guests dreams come true as they are transformed into the hula outfit of their dreams!

And everyone can be both star and paparazzi thanks to personalized cameras from Creations for You. They’ll be snapping away with these great disposable cameras that are customized just for you. Be sure to get extras – they are perfect party favors.

Party Favors

Send your guests home with a sweet treat from your party. A scrumptious milk or dark chocolate candy bar with a personalized luau birthday wrapper is a delicious souvenir for a wonderful party. You can choose from one of the hundreds of styles available from Creations for You and personalize the message.

So throw on a lei or two, maybe even a grass skirt. Make a drink that has an umbrella in it and rub your feet in the sand. A luau birthday party seems like a great way to start a new year.
