 Digestopia > Surfing > Luau < It's a Hawaiian Luau Baby 
New Articles for July 17, 2007
Some of the best beach parties can happen in the Midwest, with temperatures below freezing. Sounds crazy? It is, but it is a memorable and fun way to celebrate a birthday, retirement or special occasion. Beach parties can happen in the summer too, near a pool or a lake in any region.
The summer is a perfect time to host a Luau. Regardless of your state of residence, you can have a Luau in your backyard. Hawaiian decorations will add to the ambience and make everyone think they are in a tropical place.
The Hawaiian word Lu'au means a feast, which has interesting origins in folklore. In ancient Hawaii, women were not allowed to eat their meals with men. Women, no matter who they were, and commoners of both sexes, were forbidden by the prevailing religion to consume certain delicacies. All this changed in when King Kamehameha II abolished all kinds of traditional religious practices in 1819. He hosted a feast where he ate with women as symbolic act to end retrograde religious practices and this historical feast was called the Luau.
Let your imagination run wild while decorating for a Luau. The essence of all decoration ideas must be bold and bright colors, and anything that will recreate an island in your house! The most basic decoration must be done with flowers and foliage and then other island props should be added to complete your decoration.
Luau food has its origins in traditional Hawaiian culture. These are some food and drink recipes you could try at home for your Luau.
To plan a successful Luau, you'll need to consider how many people to invite, where to hold the feast, your decorations, menu and music. This guide will help you achieve a fun Hawaiian atmosphere.
A Tiki bar provides a little piece of paradise in the back yard for parties and social gatherings of all kinds. Join me as we explore the mystique of the Tiki bar, and how you can build one.
Hawaii is a first choice travel destination with millions of people - and for good reason. Bring a little of that island feeling into your home, either indoors or in your outdoor living space. |
