Ideas for a Baby Luau
- Create your own invitations for the luau baby shower you are planning. Choose invitations that are shaped like a surfboard to give the invitations a beachy feel. Alternatively, choose a square or rectangular invitation with a border of Hawaiian flowers.
- A luau baby shower is perfect for an outdoor space. Use hula skirts from a party store as table skirts. Create centerpieces for the tables using traditional Hawaiian items. Place a candle at the center of the table and surround it with flower leis in either pale blue or pale pink, depending on whether the mom is expecting a girl or a boy. Scatter seashells and starfish painted in pink or blue on the tables. Tiki torches around the perimeter of the shower space will complete the Hawaiian luau feel.
- Serve dishes that complement your Hawaiian luau feel. Items made with pineapple, coconut and pork work well for a baby shower. For example, serve skewers of grilled pineapple, coconut shrimp and miniature pulled pork sandwiches. Choose a baby-shower cake that has Hawaiian flowers all over it.
- Purchase some gifts for the expectant mother that fit the theme. For example, select a baby-sized Hawaiian shirt or a onesie with Hawaiian flowers printed onto it. Baby toys shaped like fish, shells or palm trees are also good ideas. Choose a baby bathing suit so that baby can have fun in the sun too.
