Tips for a Great Luau Party
Across the world, feasting seems to be a universal form of
celebrating happy events, as well as the sad events. The Hawaiians
and Polynesians have turned feasting into an unforgettable cultural
event which entertains the mind, body, and soul. In its early
beginnings, the Luau was an event that marked a special occasion
such as a wedding, expecting a new baby, graduation, or perhaps the
launching of a new business venture. In times past the foods served
at a Luau represent different qualities such as strength and courage
or they can represent future goals that one hopes to achieve.
At one time the taro leaf, which is luau in Hawaiian and
Polynesian language, was used in several of the dishes which were
served at the Luau. Today the name has evolved to be the accepted
name for a Hawaiian feast.
At a traditional Luau, each guest is presented with a floral lei
which takes the form of a greeting. A real Hawaiian Luau is made
with fresh flowers which are grown on the islands. In the states
many people present leis that look realistic but are made from silk.
This provides the guests with a souvenir which will remind them of
their experience for many years.
A Luau is not complete without music and preferably the hula
dance. There are not a lot of people in the states who can do the
hula dance, but it is still fun to dress up in the grass skirts and
give it your best try. Dancers usually dance in front of a large
fire which helps the audience relax and enjoy the festive
atmosphere.
All Luau guest should receive at least one souvenir of the Luau
experience. Maybe some little umbrellas which can be used in the
drinks or grass skirts for all the women would be appropriate. At a
real traditional Luau even the men wear the grass skirts which could
lead to a lot of fun. Perhaps the men could teach the women how to
do the hula dance and you give prizes for the best couple.
Putting on a Luau will impress all of your guests and will leave
them with a lasting impression of your hospitality.
