If you are preparing to host a luau, you have probably been working hard coming up with a great menu and play list. You may think you are done preparing, but there is one more thing to consider.

It is critical that you make sure your guests are having an amazing time. If you fail to plan some fun activities, your guest will probably leave once they are full of food and drink.

One way to keep everyone around for a good while longer is to plan on some fun, and theme appropriate activities and games. A luau lends itself really well to implementing traditional Hawaiian games and typical party games.

Here are a few things you may want to try at your next luau.

Casino, Hawaiian Style

Casino games like roulette, poker, craps, and blackjack all lend themselves really well to luaus. The casino games will keep your guests entertained for hours.

You can get rent casino game tables from any casino party company.

Limbo

Throw on some fun Hawaiian music and grab a broomstick; it is time for some limbo! Find out how low your guests can go while you and a friend hold on to the stick at varying heights.

Pass The Coconut

For a Hawaiian twist on a popular game, replace a potato with a coconut and have a game of “hot potato.”

With everyone sitting in a circle, put on some fun Hawaiian music and have all participants pass the coconut until the music stops. Whoever has the coconut when the music stops is out!

Hula-Hooping

Find out which of your guests is truly skilled. Line everyone up and see whom can hula hoop for the longest.

Make it tougher if it goes on for too long by adding a second or even third hula-hoop to each remaining person.

Mustache Party – It’s now the time of year that some women absolutely love, while others seem to hate. It’s the time when men cease doing anything with any of their facial hair in what has long been referred to as both “Movember” and “No Shave November.”

Despite some women not liking this, it has actually been shown as of late that not shaving during this particular time of year actually does some good.

Similar to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which takes place during the month of October, “No Shave November” helps to raise awareness regarding men’s health, more especially in relation to mental health, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

Men partake in this by growing a mustache during the entire month of November, which is something that ended up leading to conversations about men’s health, as well as collecting donations for multiple men’s health organizations.

Women can also take part in this as well, even though they aren’t able to grow facial hair like men can; however, they can organize various events and collect donations for various organizations that help to promote men’s health.

Mustache Party

A great way to collect donations is to throw a “Movember” party, otherwise known as a “Mo Party.” For instance, invite friends to either a local restaurant or bar, bring snacks to your work for a form of celebration, or host a party right in your own home.

Educate your guests about various men’s health issues and encourage them to donate to help with the cause, all while having fun at the same time.

Here are some great tips for you to make note of that will help you throw your own successful “Mo Party”!

Add Mustaches to Party Décor

Mustache-shaped party decoration can often be hard to locate, no matter where you look. In this case, incorporate fake ones into your own decor yourself, such as cutting out mustache shapes to add to the invitations using construction paper of different colors.

Of course, you will need to include as many details as possible on the invitations. If you would prefer to not create these yourself, you could choose to create them electronically instead.

Furthermore, hang a mustache-printed banner in the entryway of your home so that your guests are aware of the purpose of the party.

Additionally, it will be a good idea to inform your guests about where they can leave their donations, as well as who they can make checks out to if they wish to donate that way.

You should also choose a more general color scheme for your party, as well as coordinate decorations to help embellish the space itself.

For instance, line the space with either streamers or garland, incorporate paper lanterns, metallic whirls, or any other kind of hanging decorations that you feel make be appropriate – of course, with a few mustache clings attached to them.

You can also use traditional balloons as table decorations; however consider drawing mustaches on these as well with a permanent market or even placing mustache stickers on them if you can find some.

Add some casino tables to provide an activity for your guests. They will compete at the gambling tables, to see who ends up with the biggest stash!

Another fun activity would be to offer some of these items up as prizes by winning games that can be played throughout the party, such as a “guess the mustache” type of game, which involves printing out photos of famous celebrities with recognizable mustaches, but covering everything up except their facial hair.

The first guest who correctly gets the most guesses on who the facial hair belongs to will win the prizes!

A Casino Royale Theme Party is a great way to have fun with your family and friends for your next celebration.

Games are one of the most important aspects of the party, but you should also consider the food and decorations to have a themed party that everyone will be talking about for weeks to come.

Some of the best games to inspire the James Bond wannabes at your party include roulette, blackjack and craps.

Make sure the focus of the party is on having fun, rather than who’s winning all the games.

You will want to ensure that you have enough wait staff and a bartender to take care of all the guests so they don’t have to do any self-serving.

When sending out invitations, ask everyone to dress their best. Suits and cocktail dresses will make the event feel truly special.

This is the time to pull that tuxedo out of the closet. They can also be rented fairly cheaply for those who don’t have one of their own.

Women should look for the fanciest and flashiest dress they can find, there is no such things as too much bling with a Casino Royale style party.

Be sure to hire professionals to take care of your games and create a unique casino atmosphere at your party location.

This is not the time for your guests to have issues with game play.

Do you want to throw a terrific Hollywood theme party?

If you love Hollywood movies, do a casino party featuring this theme already. Here is how to do it.

Create glamorous invitations

Hollywood is glamorous, obviously, and you should mimic its glitter and beauty when making your invitation cards.

Attire

To fully mimic a Hollywood party, request all attendants to wear like a particular movie actor or actress. As well, let them carry their make-up kits and haircare tools to the venue.

Red carpet entrance

All you need to create a luxurious red carpet entrance are red carpet props.

Venue decorations

Concentrate on table runners, tablecloths, and centerpieces. Balloons, especially the gold colored ones, are a fantastic addition to your Hollywood theme party venue.

Entertainment

Hire an Elvis Impersonator that can walk around for meets and greets and also a show.

A full-blast casino party that will take your guests’ breath away by providing interactive entertainment for everybody.

Food

Be generous with food and beverages. It is a party, so let your guest feast. However, make your food appear high class and expensive.

Fun activities

All red-carpet Hollywood events end up with an interview. So you should find a smart-looking person to act as an interviewer and another one as a celebrity to be interviewed. As well, get an excellent video camera and an operator.

After the film a few years ago called ‘the Great Gatsby’ no wonder everybody became obsessed with the glamour and style of the 1920’s. People everywhere are taking the opportunity to celebrate the styles and parties of the Gatsby era.

If you’ve been thinking of hosting a Great Gatsby themed party of your own then a few tips may be in order. These tips will help you lift your champagne glass and throw an absolutely incredible party with all of your friends, no matter what the occasion.

Evenings are always the best time for a Great Gatsby party. They should begin in the evening and go on until all hours of the morning. Around 8PM is a good time to have guests begin to arrive, knowing that some will naturally be ‘fashionably late’.

Venue and Guests

When selecting a proper venue for your party your budget is always a huge consideration. So is your guest list. The weather will be a huge factor as well.

The best venues will offer both indoor and outdoor space, with plenty of room for various activities and entertainment. Parties with enough space for guests to flow freely are much more comfortable and enjoyable.

It can get really stuffy with a lot of people all cramped together with hardly enough room to walk around. The rooms and outside areas must be more than enough to hold all your guests comfortably.

People should be able to move about unhindered without bumping the other guests in passing. If your guest list is a short one then a home party may be possible. However, anything over 50 calls for renting a venue that gives you more space.

Invitations

Your invitations need to be sent out 6 to 8 weeks prior to your party date. They cannot be sent out too early.

A Great Gatsby party requires themed outfits and costumes so your guests will need plenty of time to decide on what to wear and where to get it. Give all your guests the time they need to RSVP and prepare for the occasion.

Everybody loves an invitation that carries a great look and feel. The artwork is important. You want a Great Gatsby invitation to reflect elegance, style, and class. It’s the same even if your invitations are digital. They should reflect the mood and theme of the evening.

Decorations

One easy way to get your theme and decorations right is to simply watch the movie, or watch it again if you already have.

Do what Mr. Gatsby did for his party. It is fun to watch how things unfold in the movie but for you there are going to be little nuisances like short time-lines, setting the scene at the venue, and a tight budget.

Entertainment

One of the most crucial aspects of your Great Gatsby theme will be the music.

You want something people get up and move to. That could mean plugging in your iPod to play your favorites from the Gatsby playlist (jazz and classical) or simply playing the Great Gatsby soundtrack from the movie.

As long as the music is from the 1920’s it will be fine, whether from your iPod or a live band. Your guests just want to sip champagne and ‘shake their groove thing’ out on the dance floor.

If you really want to excite your guests and you have a large guest list, consider hiring yourself a casino party company. They can bring in gambling tables to thrill your guest and give it even more of a 1920’s feel.

Plan Your Menu

When it comes to food you can serve small finger-foods. All you need are little small snacks to nibble between sips of champagne and dancing. These will be more than adequate for this type of party.

Good luck on planning your Great Gatsby Themed Party.
