Luau Cake Ideas

A luau theme cake topper is a fun idea and should be thought of when acquiring party supplies. Below is a list of items you will need to make the luau themed girl topper.

A doll the size you want the cake topper to be- A doll with darker colored, long hair often times gives the best look.

Remnants of a grass skirt – You can also use real, dead and dried grass as well. Make sure it is long enough for your needs. You could also use twine if you do not have grass.

Scrap materials – preferably ones that have a Hawaiian theme to them (flowers, fire, etc.)

Mini flowers – any artificial, tropical mini flowers will work.

Twine – enough for the grass skirt, head piece, etc.

Scissors, glue, thread and a needle.

First, create the skirt and tie it around the dolls waist. You can make it as short or as long as you want. The typical hula girl will have the grass skirt stop just about her ankles.

Next, create the top. This can be done by cutting out two triangles into the scrap material. Be sure to cut the flat part of the triangle pieces a little longer so the bottoms can be folded over and sewn or glued. Thread in the twine to make it tie around the back. Glue twine at the tops of both triangle and tie around her neck.

Finally, use the flowers to make a lei and a headpiece for her and you will have a beautiful Luau themed cake topper!

Luau Party Music Play Lists

Crank up the music and play the songs that people want to hear at your next Luau themed party! Among many Luau party supplies you will need to gather, a good playlist is one of the most important.

The Luau theme is carefree, light and fun; the music should reflect the same! Below is a sample list of some of the songs you might want to play at your next Luau party gathering!

Beach Boys: Sufin’ USA
Bobby McFerrin: Don’t Worry Be Happy
Marky Mark: Good Vibrations
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole: Somewhere Over the Rainbow (When guests are relaxing)
Luau parties have both fast paced as well as slow and calming music attributes about them so it is best to mix them up accordingly. A good rule of thumb is not to play back to back slow songs. Throwing one in there for something different is a great idea but having them back to back might make the party feel a little sluggish.

Be sure to have plenty of songs on the playlist so they do not run out or repeat. Even if you think you have enough for the time allotment, add more for a safe measure. Finally, adding a mixture of old and new is always fun and gives something for all guests to identify with.
