It’s important to make sure that your venue looks the part when throwing a Hawaiian-themed party, otherwise you and your guests will look a bit out of place in your grass skirts! 
Here are some cheap and easy ways of creating that authentic Hawaiian feel, whether you’re partying in your home, your garden or a hired venue:
Scene setters: ‘Magnolia’ living room walls don’t exactly ooze Hawaiian exoticism, so why not cover them up with scene setters made from traditional-looking thatch or bamboo. Or, if you fancy something a bit more colourful, opt for scene setters painted with beach landscapes and palm trees.
Banners and garlands: These are a great way to spruce up your party venue in an instant and for very little cost. Choose from bunting, paper lantern garlands or floral garlands, or a mixture of all three.
Hanging decorations: To enliven your living room still further, invest in some hanging decorations of tropical flowers or hula girls to hang from the ceiling.
Hawaiian balloons: Why bother with plain old party balloons when you can buy Hawaiian-themed balloons painted with Honolulu beach scenes or shaped like hula girls, cocktails, Tiki shields, and even Hawaiian shirts.
Hawaiian table decorations: If you’re having food at your party, don’t forget to add some Hawaiian centrepieces when you set the table, such as paper pineapples, plastic palm trees or mini totem figurines.
Hawaiian inflatables: These add a touch of fun to your decorations, particularly if you’re throwing your party outside or by a swimming pool. If you don’t have a swimming pool, invest in a paddling pool and decorate it with blow-up palm trees, parrots, sharks, pineapples and more.
