The splashing of waves, tall palm trees, moonlight on the water, cocktails, coconuts - what do you associate a Hawaiian party with? If you have been planning to get together with friends for a long time, but do not want the meeting to turn into another dull gathering, a Hawaiian party is great idea organize a truly bright and memorable holiday.

How to organize a Hawaiian party, choose costumes, treats and make an entertainment program? Let's figure it out.

Outdoors

IN warm time of the year The best decision is, of course, a Hawaiian-style party under open sky. It's great if you have the opportunity to arrange a holiday on a sandy beach by the sea or at least a lake. You can also just find a nice clearing and set up a spacious tent on it, scattering pillows on the floor.

Jump Wedding

If you expect the party to drag on until deep night, it is worth considering the lighting in advance. To preserve the surroundings, it is better to abandon electric lanterns and use the light of fires and torches.

Hawaiian house party

Even when a snowstorm is raging outside, you can recreate the atmosphere of a bright beach holiday in your apartment. To make a Hawaiian party a success at home, you need to think through everything to the smallest detail. And it’s better to start with decorating your home.


M&N Party Store

It is not necessary to spend money - you can make almost all decor items with your own hands. Think about what associations you have when you think about these? For sure, one of the first will be long flower garlands. And although fresh flowers are expensive, you can make them yourself out of paper (like origami) or buy some artificial twigs. These garlands - lei - should be hung around the house, as well as put on the incoming guests around the neck, saying a joyful greeting "Aloha!".


Parties And Picnics
Tip: If you decide to celebrate your birthday in the style of a Hawaiian party, be sure to decorate the birthday boy's chair with a garland of flowers.

Another important attribute is vases and baskets with fresh exotic fruits. No Hawaiian party is complete without coconuts, pineapples, oranges and other citrus fruits. You can also put some flowers next to the fruit and light small tea candles.

It's great if you have a few glass vases or aquariums at home. They can be filled with water, natural flowers or sand.


Let's celebrate!

Hawaiian Party Costumes

When drawing invitations, be sure to remind your guests of the dress code. For a Hawaiian party to be truly atmospheric, everyone needs to be dressed appropriately.


Quinceanera

Given the fact that you have to be transported to a sunny beach, one of the main elements of any outfit will be. It is better to choose something bright, juicy shades. Under it you can pick up the original skirt and hair ornaments.


Aim For Awesome

By the way, you can also make a skirt for the holiday with your own hands. Cut the satin ribbon into pieces desired length and sew them in a circle to a wide elastic band that will be at the waist. And skirts made of natural materials - for example, willow branches - will look really cool. The bodice of a swimsuit or top can be decorated with bright colors.


Banquettes

All kinds of colored sundresses, light dresses, shirts with short sleeves and even a beach pareo is also a great outfit for a Hawaiian party. Use your imagination to the maximum.

Scripting a Hawaiian Party

Speaking about how to make a Hawaiian party, it is worth noting that coming up with a scenario and various entertainments is almost the most challenging task.

So that guests can fully enjoy the atmosphere, start with the traditional greeting “Aloha!”. Each newcomer is to be given a garland of flowers around his neck by the owner of the house.

The next stage is, of course, a festive lunch or dinner. Let your guests enjoy the treats and cocktails, and then you can move on to entertainment program- dancing, games and competitions.


The Barefoot Hawaiian

Hawaiian Party Contests should also be themed. Here are a few ideas you can take note of:

  • One of the most popular entertainments on the islands is the game of Limbo. Two people are holding a stick decorated with multi-colored ribbons, and the third is trying to pass under it without losing balance. Each time the stick is lowered lower and lower.
  • Your guests will also enjoy fun contests for a Hawaiian party with prizes. To warm up, you can hold a small quiz, asking questions related to Hawaii. Just be sure to prepare the answers as well - you don’t want the party to turn into an exam in geography, do you?
  • It's a great idea to do something like Hawaiian forfeits. All participants take turns writing tasks on sheets of paper, and then they also take turns pulling out and completing them. Of course, they should be themed - for example, perform a national hula dance or make cocktails for all guests.

LiveJournal

An adult Hawaiian party scenario may include more romantic entertainment: for example, dancing with someone in a pair, holding a coconut between them.

Hawaiian party music

It's great if you can set aside some time in advance and get to know the traditional music of the Hawaiian Islands. Music for a Hawaiian party should be unobtrusive and melodic.


Rupoint

Albums will be a great option for the background Jack de Mello – Steel Guitar Magic Hawaiian Style(1994) and Kana King & His Hawaiians – The music of Hawaii.

Hawaiian menu

The basis of the festive table, of course, will be fresh fruit. Your guests can eat them at any time during the whole party. For dinner, it is also better to serve something light:

  • oven-baked chicken (previously, the meat can be marinated in soy sauce or fruit juice);
  • Hawaiian sandwiches with pineapple, butter and ham;
  • from crab sticks;
  • sausage and cheese cuts;
  • fruit and vegetable platter with skewers.

Holiday Idea

Special attention should be given to the choice of cocktails. Be sure to use the drink of real pirates - rum. It can be mixed with orange and grapefruit juice, Coca-Cola, coconut cream.


What drink

An integral part of the Hawaiian birthday party - birthday cake. An ice cream cake garnished with slices of fresh fruit is best.


This year we decided that we would have a Hawaiian party for our daughter's birthday. It will be summer outside and we hope it's good warm weather attached. Since the holiday is for children, we will intertwine the Hawaiian theme with the cartoon "Lilo and Stitch".

So the preparations are in full swing. Short plan of the holiday.

Personalized garlands, streamers, juice stickers, chocolate wrappers, boxes, wishes, forfeits, toppers, etc. Of course, balls!

Can prepare posters, banners and photo stands:










No Hawaiian holiday is complete without flower beads - leis and skirts:

2. Guests. Invitations for guests can also be bought ready-made, made by yourself or ordered. Not extreme case make them "electronic": sms or mail.




Guests may be asked to comply with the dress code: shirts, bermudas, flip flops, sunglasses...

3. Table You can arrange a candy bar, you can cook nat. Hawaiian dishes, or you can just show your imagination.




4.CAKE If you do not forget that this is not just a Hawaiian party, but also has a link to the cartoon, then the cake can be made like this, or at least just the figures of the main characters:

5. Small things for the table You will need a bunch of sticks, tubes, skewers, dishes, etc.






7. Piñata We can't have birthdays without her. We will buy, but you can also make your own. There are many detailed tutorials on the Internet.

We fill it with small sweets, best of all with candies and you can also add confetti:



The game "My slippers!". You will need large bright beach slippers - there should be 1 less of them than the participants in the game. Slippers are placed on the floor in a pile, and the participants stand around them. Further, the game is played in the same way as the well-known entertainment “Musical Chair”. While the music is playing, the participants dance or walk in a circle. As soon as the music stops, each participant strives to put one slipper on his foot. Whoever does not get a slipper is out. The game is played until the last "lucky one with a slipper". He wins.

Leading: Shall we sunbathe now? Whoever tans better - that's the prize. And the one who exposes more parts of his body to the sun will get better. Well, who wants to participate in an adult competition for the best tan?

Game "Sunburn". This is an adult game. Those who wish to participate dance to the music, standing in a circle, and the leader periodically pronounces command phrases. Those of the participants who refuse to do what the leader says are eliminated. If the host says that you need to expose your knees to the sun, then the participants must bare their knees (girls can be in pantyhose or stockings - it is not necessary to take them off).

Leader commands:

Hands out to the sun

Turned up the neck of the sun

Bent your elbows to the sun

Bent your knees to the sun

Shoulders turned up to the sun

Framed the sun hips

Framed the heels of the sun

exposed the sun to the tummies

Turned up the back of the sun

Those who turned out to be braver and held out to the end receive prizes - for example, tanning cosmetics or a panama hat.

Also, while entertaining children, you can arrange a master class with them on making amulets from clay and dough:

**********************************************************************************************************

Summer, the sea, islands, unbridled joy and overflowing love of life - this is what the intentions to have a party, the theme of which will be Hawaii, are associated with. This is a reason to renounce worries and realities. modern world with its problems, the north wind and taxes, briefly plunging into the warm ocean of carelessness, relaxation and fun.

For a party to be a success, you need to prepare well for it. What is needed for a Hawaiian holiday? Where is the best place to host guests? How to issue invitations? What will help recreate the Hawaiian atmosphere? What are you going to treat your "islanders"? And, finally, how to reincarnate in the spirit of a given theme? Our material will take you to the world of holiday islands.

Summer... and not only summer!

Hawaiian party the default is sea, sun and beach. Therefore, the ideal format for holding it will be open-air near the water: the sea coast, the shore of a river or lake, a picturesque island, a platform near the pool. Any open area is quite suitable, and water can be organized in inflatable pool, there would be a desire.

But you can not limit yourself to the most natural place for a holiday. A Hawaiian party can be organized, for example, in a sauna: why not a hot atmosphere? And what a magnificent holiday you will get on the deck of a ship or a yacht! A holiday a la Hawaii is a great idea for guests of various hotels.

Of course, the Hawaiian theme is mainly a summer prerogative. But who can stop you from letting in some sun and hot energy during the winter cold or autumn slush? For such a holiday, of course, open areas are no longer suitable, but any room can be decorated accordingly. But how nice it will be to plunge into the summer at least for a few hours!

In short, there are few occasions and accommodation options that would not allow you to organize a great Hawaiian party!

Welcome to Hawaii!

Your friends should be looking forward to the holiday that you are preparing for them from the very minute they find out about it. And how will it be? Will you tell them about it in person, by phone, by email, viber or sms? Or maybe they will pick up an unusual invitation card, which is not so difficult to make?

It's up to you, and we will throw ideas for an invitation card:

  • printout of the finished version from the Internet;
  • invitation in any form associated with Hawaii: pineapple, coconut, orchid, surfboard, Hawaiian shirt, puffy straw hula skirt, ukulele, shell or even a beach slipper;
  • a "ticket" for a plane bound for Hawaii or a travel package;
  • an invitation in a bottle sealed with wax;
  • straw applique, shells, colored sand and images of any of the listed accessories.

In the text of the invitation, be sure to specify the "Hawaiian" dress code and use the traditional word "Aloha", which means not just a greeting, but also a wish for good, peace and joy, as well as "I love you." The literal translation of this word from the Hawaiian dialect is "breath of life."

Welcome to the islands!

To transform the space in accordance with the atmosphere of these fabulous islands, try to be inspired by watching movies that celebrate Hawaii, because there are many interesting finds!

For your inspiration, the most "Hawaiian" examples of cinema:

  • "Hawaii 5-0";
  • "Blue Hawaii";
  • "Perfect Escape";
  • "In flight";
  • “50 first kisses;
  • cartoon Lilo and Stitch.

Before starting preparations, we must first analyze what specific features of the venue will be important to us. Consider the main options: ideas can be combined!

Open area preparation

In the open-air format, it is important to consider the following points:

The simplest solution to many of these issues can be renting. Under the canopy, you can place not only tables, but also lay blankets and scatter pillows for relaxation. In the midday heat, the tent will not allow guests to overheat. Well and modern choice allows you to choose any shape of the tent, its size and color, however, traditional white will be a great backdrop for any decor.

You can make a choice in favor of not a tent, but beach umbrellas and tables under them.

The Hawaiian atmosphere of the landscape will be given by palm trees. If you don’t have live plants in tubs, it doesn’t matter - you can order impressive designs from balloons.

If space and materials allow, you can build an interesting Hawaiian-style composition from tied logs, bamboo sticks (you can buy them at hardware stores), cobblestones. Against its background, you will get wonderful photo frames for memory!

If you lay out large letters “Havaii” or “Aloha” from shells, stones, branches and other natural materials, this will complement the atmosphere as much as possible and create another interesting photo zone. Place large cardboard or plastic letters on the playground or simply write them directly on the sand: let them rub off under the soles of the dancers, reminding you that moments of joy should be treasured!

The sunset will not be a signal for the end of the holiday: after all, on the islands, the night is as beautiful as the day. Make sure guests can see in the dark. You can, of course, provide lanterns and portable searchlights, but it will be much more effective, and most importantly, more “Hawaiian”, to kindle a fire prepared in advance, from which torches will ignite (they must be prepared in advance).

For torches, you can prepare stationary stands.

Decorating a Hawaiian-style party

IN indoors You can also create a completely Hawaiian atmosphere. More flowers, live and artificial! Decorate the room with greenery (even if it will be grandmother's ficuses and asparagus). Branches of any plants will do - willow, fern, acacia, as well as any spectacular leaves and stems - chestnut, kururuza, sunflower.

You can use decorative ribbons in the form of leafy garlands, sold in needlework stores.

Decorate windows and doorways with traditional Hawaiian lei wreaths. Of course, you will not find as many fresh flowers as in Hawaii, and even in the cold season. No problem: Lei can be made by yourself from corrugated colored paper or bright napkins.

You will need oh so many of them, because leis are needed not only for decoration. According to the traditions of Hawaiian holidays, each guest receives a ley-bead around his neck, regardless of gender.

  • On the walls you can hang posters with views of Hawaii, maps of the islands..
  • Decorate tulle curtains with flowers.
  • Do not feel sorry for balloons and various garlands.
  • Fishing nets, ropes, weaves of ropes decorated with flowers, butterflies and fish will look good - this, by the way, is a good background for a photo!
  • If you find traditional wooden masks, you can also hang them up, as well as models of ukuleles - tiny ukuleles. An ordinary guitar will work as well.
  • Surfboards, drums, wooden figurines can be placed along the walls.
  • Chaise lounges, canvas folding chairs or wicker furniture will be appropriate.

Decorate the space under the ceiling colorful balloons. Beach umbrellas and summer hats can be placed as decorative additions.

Look at some photos of the decoration of the room for the Hawaiian party, including the one with the pool. They will help you decide on the elements of your decoration for the holiday.





Fruits should also take their rightful place in the festive atmosphere. Not all of them need to be edible. If you stock up on enough dummies, you can build a colorful composition from them or string them on a jute rope in the form of garlands. Clusters of bananas look especially impressive in combination with large green leaves imitating banana ones. Arrange vases here and there with various fruit sets.

A beautiful and simple accessory that will decorate any interior - a glass, a pot-bellied bottle, a vase or a glass container filled with water in which they swim large flowers and candles: at dusk they can be lit. At the bottom of such containers it would be appropriate to place shells and shells.

Another beautiful and simple option is jars of multi-colored sand in a variety of variations. For such decorations, you can buy kinetic colored sand, and at the end of the holiday give it to your little guests. An alternative would be a motley mixture of ordinary salt and broken children's multi-colored crayons.

Hawaiian feast

Any holiday on the islands is not only fun, but also a treat: the Hawaiian word "luau" - a holiday party - literally means "feast". Therefore, it is impossible to ignore the preparation of the festive table. On the other hand, you will have to dance a lot, so the dishes should not be too heavy, satisfying and plentiful.

However, traditional Hawaiian cuisine makes it easy to solve this problem.

Hawaiian table decor

In order to give your feast a completely Hawaiian look, you need to give a little unusual atmosphere to the table itself. It can be of any shape, it is quite acceptable to use both large and many small tables. Plastic tables or small wicker coffee tables with snacks will not stand out from the general line of the party.

A popular table decor for a Hawaiian party is the "skirt" style of the traditional hula. You can sew straw on the tablecloth or come up with a long lush fringe from other materials. If a "skirt table" is not to your liking, throw a fishing net over it or just use a bright colorful tablecloth.

Choose bright, colorful dishes. In the open air, it is quite acceptable to use cardboard - no one will have to wash it. Or you can get smart and serve, for example, meat or sandwiches on banana leaves, and put fruits instead of vases into wide-brimmed hats! Glasses and cutlery should also be decorated with Hawaiian accessories.

In the center of the table, you can put wooden figurines, a composition of fresh flowers and fruits or candles and water, a mini-waterfall.

If you decide to limit yourself to a buffet table or a light buffet, then you can build a so-called "Tiki bar".


Decorate the chairs with flower lei.

Let's treat ourselves! Hawaiian style party menu

Dishes should be light, not burdensome for the stomach, while with a bright taste. A good choice for the menu would be:

  • chicken cooked with soy sauce, pineapples, oranges, etc.;
  • chops, which are called “Hawaiian meat” in restaurants: on a steak, a piece of pineapple under melted cheese;
  • fish baked in the oven (if you have a holiday outdoors, you can warm it up right on the fire);
  • seafood (shrimps, mussels, oysters) in salads, cocktails and simply in kind;
  • vegetable and fruit salads;
  • cuts and cold snacks;
  • assorted skewers;
  • sandwiches, tarts.

The best desserts are fresh fruits, you can also serve jellies, mousses and, of course, ice cream! Skip pastry, except for crunchy shell-shaped cookies. You should not put cream cakes on the table - this dessert does not harmonize with the atmosphere of summer.

Drinks should be plentiful and provide guests with a wide choice. The main highlight will be cocktails, let them be varied: non-alcoholic and intoxicating, relaxing or tonic, long or short drinks, but certainly bright and festive.

To do this, decorate the glasses with slices of lemons, oranges, strawberries and kiwi, use straws, umbrellas. Don't forget about ice supplies! Recipes for the most famous cocktails are in abundance on the Internet, or you can show your imagination, mix an invented cocktail and call it your own name.

Hawaiian motifs - choose music

To put together a playlist for your party, consider what you need the music for:

For the first purpose, traditional Hawaiian melodies are indispensable, which are rich in the albums of many bands and performers. Pay attention to melodies and solos on the ukulele (traditional ukulele).

You can use these compositions:

  • VA "Blue Hawaii";
  • Chris Isaak "Sweet Leilani"
  • Perry Como "Hawaiian Wedding Song";
  • Elvis Presley "Hawaiian Sunset";
  • Ella Fitzgerald "Hawaiian War Chant";
  • Hawaiian song "Aloha oe";
  • All Star Hawaiian Band "Sophisticated Hula";
  • Big Ben Hawaiian Band "On the Beach at Waikiki";
  • Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (ukulele);
  • Leonid Nagaev (ukulele, harmonica).

Hawaiian music, despite its harmony, does not have to be the exclusive accompaniment to your holiday. For this topic any compositions that evoke thoughts about summer, the beach, sea holidays are suitable.

Choose what you like best without worrying too much about the authenticity of the music:

  • any Latin American rhythms;
  • compositions by Shakira, Beyoncé, Ricky Martin;
  • 2Hat "Summer and Heat";
  • Potap and Nastya "Summer";
  • Group "All Inclusive" "Tanned Summer";
  • Chi-Li "Summer";
  • Texas "Summer Son";
  • Malik "Song of Summer", "Heat";
  • Any collection from the Beach Hits series.

If you have not yet decided on the theme of the party, you can look at more.

It can be adapted for adult party as well as for children's parties.

For fans of the era of emerging capitalism, we have prepared two scenarios. — a Chicago-style holiday. The second is a party for the golden society based on the film and book The Great Gatsby.

What to wear to a party, how to transform?

Preparing costumes is an important part of any themed party. Getting ready to take on new image, you are already looking forward to a special mood, reincarnation, magic. And in the case of the Hawaiian holiday, choosing an image and creating a costume will be quite simple, while it will undoubtedly be bright and spectacular: such a feature of the Hawaiian style!

The very first thing that comes to mind and will be needed by both men and women is Hawaiian wreaths, they are also beads that are called “lei”. They are garlands of tropical flowers about 50-60 cm long, worn around the neck of each guest. You can buy ready-made lei in online stores: there is a fairly wide selection of garlands different colors. However, they are easy to make yourself.

Watch the video on how to create your own lei.

We note right away that the most convenient for creating such a lei in our conditions will be carnation flowers separated from the stem.

Girls getting dressed...or undressing? How to make a Hawaiian costume for a girl

Choosing an image, you should focus on the format of the party. If the holiday will take place on the beach, this dictates one form of clothing, and a home holiday will suggest other ways to look Hawaiian. Consider several options for Hawaiian images for girls.

"Beautiful Islander"

The central element of the outfit will be a swimsuit. Better, of course, a bikini: after all, Hawaiians are not shy about their golden flexible bodies. Choose the brightest of your summer swimwear. Now let's give it an "island" look.

A lei worn around the neck already additionally decorates your “top”, but you can add interesting details:


  • large artificial flowers sewn onto the cups of the bra, fluffy bright pompoms;
  • the bodice is decorated with green leaves;
  • the straps of the leotard are decorated with fluttering silk scarves;
  • you are unlikely to wear a coconut bodice, traditional for Hawaii, it is too inconvenient to fasten it, and it rubs. But its imitation of coconut halves fixed on the bodice can look very impressive.

If you do not want a too revealing top, it is permissible to wear a short top or tie a bright turquoise, yellow, orange, or red shirt under your chest.

For a more detailed example of making a costume for a girl for a Hawaiian party, see the video.

"Bottom" refers to the traditional "hula" skirt, which emphasizes slender legs and incendiary dancing thighs of a Hawaiian woman. The material for such a skirt can be varied, and making it is very simple: you only need a tight elastic band or twine to fit your waist and a little patience to attach the stripes. Disguise the elastic band and the knots on it with a floral belt. The length of the skirt can vary from the middle of the thighs to the floor.

Choose what your "hula" will be from:


  • lush green leaves or their analogues from the fabric;
  • multi-colored ribbons;
  • strips of polyethylene;
  • corrugated paper;
  • jute twine or other rope (you can see how to make such a skirt in the video)

  • patches of bright fabric;
  • Christmas tree rain;
  • Knitting thread;
  • raffia is a thin straw (it will have to be fastened by bending in half and fixing it with a “sliding” loop. You can see the detailed process of making a raffia skirt below).

"Summer Girl"

Modern native Hawaiians, like their European sisters, do not always prefer national clothes. Many of them prefer bright, airy and light summer clothes that do not constrain movements, decorated with various accessories.

Choose your favorite summer dress or sundress made of silk, chintz or other natural fabrics. It is better if the outfit is not just bright colors, but with a floral print or ornament, but plain colors are also suitable, but not dull colors!

"From what's at hand"

If nothing comes up or well, there is absolutely no time, feel free to put on any summer clothes for such a party: shorts, a skirt, even jeans with a bright T-shirt will do, wrap up a pareo. Accessories will save any look: on such a holiday, they are even more important than the clothes themselves.

Accessories. The outfit needs to be complemented and decorated. Bright unique elements will bring zest to your Hawaiian look. So, we have already mentioned lei (wreaths of flowers). And what else?

You can additionally wear:

  • flower bracelets made of fresh or artificial flowers for wrists and/or ankles;
  • long beads made of several strands of artificial pearls or shells;
  • a wreath of greenery on the head;
  • a belt decorated with flowers, shells, straws.

Hairstyle. There is nothing easier - loose your hair in a lush mane. To create a Hawaiian look, pick them up on one side at the temple with a large hairpin in the form of a lush flower or a marine theme. The head may also have a wreath or headband, also decorated with flowers and leaves.

Shoes. Comfortable and summery! Sandals, flip flops, slippers, "soap dishes" will do. You can additionally decorate them with flower pom-poms, shells. Take care of a bright pedicure.

Makeup. Absolutely not needed if you're going to have fun on the beach, well, except for sunscreen and maybe a little golden powder. For the indoor option, in order not to look pale in the photo, make up your lips with lipstick of juicy, fruity shades, shade lush cilia, “dark” your face and décolleté area a little (self-tanning is also appropriate). Complete the look with a drop of light and fresh floral perfume.

But if you decide to create a real image of an island girl, then watch the video. The girl, accompanied by pleasant Hawaiian music, demonstrates how to do Hawaiian makeup and a suitable hairstyle.

The video is in English, but the procedure is quite clear.

Strong sex in Hawaii - options for men's suits

Men rarely give their external image as much attention as the girls, but in vain! When else will there be an opportunity to be a little not yourself, but a perky and passionate islander or a white planter invited to a native holiday!

Variant of the image "Native"

If you want to feel like a real Hawaiian, then ... look at your girlfriend. Hawaiian guys dress in much the same way as girls, with the exception of swimsuit tops. A masculine naked torso attracts the attention of the fair sex, and a lei will give it additional charm.

But the hula skirt for guys and girls in Hawaii is almost the same! If you are not afraid of such a daring outfit, feel free to wear a hula of any length acceptable to you from any material - from raffia to strips of fabric ... You can decorate your legs just below the knees with "mini-skirts".

REMEMBER! For an "island" costume, you need to take care of the appropriate body condition. No unshaven armpits and excessively hairy chest. I'll have to borrow a self-tanner from a friend. A white loose body, a beer belly will also look ridiculous. But if you are a young Apollo, go ahead and conquer hot beauties.

Variant of the male image "The White Guest of the Island"

If everything is in order with your shoulders, but the “hula” is rather embarrassing, you may well put on any summer bottom, left with a bare torso. In most cases, this is how guests walk at real Hawaiian holidays!

Shorts can be of any cut and color, except, perhaps, sports (those that fit). Cropped jeans will do.

Pants can be cotton, canvas, denim. Only a strict costume cut is inappropriate.

Do not want to expose the top, or maybe the evening promises coolness? Well, a Hawaiian shirt is a fashion trend in any season! Don't worry too much about the style, the main thing is bright floral colors.

What's on the head? For the native version, nothing is needed, except for a wreath of leaves. But the white guest of Hawaii may be unusual under the southern sun with an uncovered head. Sun protection is especially important if you prefer to go shaved bald: the sun's rays are dangerous for a head that is not protected by hair.

You can wear:

  • wide-brimmed straw hat;
  • white "planter" panama;
  • tie your head with a bright bandana.

Shoes. Any beach shoes, the easiest option is flip flops or flip flops. This is if you do not want to or the site does not allow you to walk barefoot. Just remember, please, that flip flops cannot be worn over socks! Of course, it would be nice to get a pedicure, but it is enough if your nails are clean and not broken off. Legs, okay, you can not shave!

Accessories. Like a Hawaiian girl, a handsome islander can decorate his wrists and ankles with herbal or flower bracelets. If flowers are not to your liking, they can be replaced with leather straps, interlaced twine, shells strung on a thread.

In the "plantation" version, a large cigar will look impressive, but walking with it in your mouth is not so convenient: save this accessory for a photo shoot.

And, of course, sunglasses.

A few more win-win costume options for both sexes

Alternative costume options imply fantasy and creativity. If you decide to stop at this, then remember that the party involves active movement (participation in competitions and dancing). Your outfit should not constrain you and interfere with some of your details.

Come up with an image associated with summer, the sea, the beach:

  • mermaid;
  • sea ​​deity;
  • jellyfish;
  • fish or fisherman;
  • octopus;
  • sailor;
  • character from the cartoon "Lilo and Stitch", "SpongeBob", etc.

No matter how you dress, the most important thing that will make a Hawaiian party successful is your radiant mood!

The outfit can be the same for both men and women. The costume for the Hawaiian party consists of a skirt and a flower garland (lei). And that, and that accessory is made extremely simple.

If you need to make a quick costume for a Hawaiian party, consider the simple option. For a skirt, you only need an elastic band and a satin ribbon. For a flower garland, you also need a few items, namely:

  • colored paper;
  • strong thread;
  • darning needle with a thick eye;
  • cocktail tubes.
Let's start with the bottom of the outfit. To make a skirt with your own hands, tie an elastic band below the waist, cut off its excess edges, and remove it. Now you have to cut a lot of ribbons. Measure the length of the future skirt. The length of the ribbons should be 2 times this figure received.

Fold the first ribbon in half, placing the fold on the elastic. Insert both ends of the tape back, under the elastic band, pulling it up through the formed loop of the tape, tighten. Do the same with the rest of the elements.

The more ribbons there are, the fuller the skirt will become. To prevent these elements from fraying, singe the ends over the flame of a candle or lighter.


It remains to learn how to make a garland to hang around your neck. Fold the sheets of colored paper "accordion" so that there is a distance of 8 cm from fold to fold. On cardboard or paper, draw a template for the future flower with wavy edges. Apply it to the folded paper and cut out several colors at once. Set them aside for now.

Cut the cocktail tubes into 2 cm pieces. Here's how to make the next garland. With your own hands, or better with the help of your daughter or friends, start creating a lei. To do this, thread the thread into the eye of the needle, start stringing flowers and segments of cocktail tubes on it, alternating fragments.

At the end, take out the needle, tie the ends of the threads and the garland is ready. Now the fair sex can put on a swimsuit, a skirt, a lei - and the Hawaiian costume is ready. Attire for men can include swimming trunks, shorts and, of course, a garland. And here's how to make it the second way.


Corrugated paper or fabric that does not fray, such as tulle or taffeta, is suitable for it. Having chosen the material, cut it into long strips 6–8 cm wide.
