Hawaiian Luau
Leis at the door, hibiscus on the table and limbo until sunset.
All ages
A luau works for any age and any season, because the look does all the work: hibiscus pink, mango orange and palm green, with a lei for every guest at the door. Tiki torches or a string of lights carry it into the evening.
Keep the food on the table and the games on the grass. Limbo is the one everyone remembers, a hula hoop contest settles the rest, and a fruit table of pineapple and mango doubles as decoration.
