For my 14th birthday i wanted to do something that no one else has done so I had a Luau! Not just any old Laua i had the best one ever. I typed up invitations on the computer and used clip-art to decorate them. For decorations i ordered Laua signs that read common hawiaan phrases, flimingos to stick in the groud, garland, streamers, balloonns,etc. (all from oriental tradinhg co.)For food i went to Alohafriends.com to find recipes for a luau. we had sweet and sour shreeded pork ( if u want to go all out u can roast a pig)we also had tropical fruit like pineapple, mango, and other exotic fruits, fruit smoothies w/ little umbrellas in them. For the cakewe had a yellow batter cake w/ pineapple juice put in it to give it some tang. we decorated the cake with brown sugar on one edge to represent sand and blue icing on the other half to represent the ocean. we brought plastic palm trees to stick in the cake. When the guest arrived we gave each guest diffrent multi-colored lei's and grass skirts. we also ordered some tropical flowers to give to each guest to stick in their hair. When all the guest arrived at the hotel i took them up to the rooms tp put on our swimsuits. we then went down to the pool were we enjoyed different pool games like watter duck, duck, goose. Each player sat on a float while goose went around to tag someone. We also played other water games like chicken-fight ( you try to knock other players of their partners shoulder), marco polo, sharks and minows, underwater football, underwater tag, water volleyball, and relay races. We also had a treasure hunt. Each team of about 6 had to go trought the hotel and uses different clues to find the treasure. As we played our pool games we had my parents severe use little tropical type snacks so we wouldnt get too hungry before dinner. As our pool time came to an end we went upstairs to the hotel room were we watched movies like Holiday in the sun and blue crush. Then we palyed truth or dare which didnt get out of hand. we also eat cake and made music videos ( a lot of hula dancing)! No one was sleepy after like 1:00 am so we gave facials. I really enjoyed my birthday and i hope u an use some of my ides.
