Luau Party Theme Invitations and Ideas

The computer crashed before I completed my end-October through beginning-January celebrations-related comments.

Luau-party themes look so workable. It seems to me that turkey camp-fired or grilled works for Thanksgiving and, since I serve no ham or "pig" bacon or pork, for Christmas and New Year's and their Eves.

Boar's Head hummus somewhat triggers in me thoughts of pudding-looking Hawaiian poi.

So perhaps their artichoke and spinach, roasted pine nut, Meyer lemon and dark chocolate and pumpkin pie hummus lines -- all of which I've sampled and then purchased last month and this month -- work respectively for vegetables and dessert nuts, fruits and pies.

My already-worked-out menus for October-January wouldn't have been possible or so quick if you had not written this versatile luau party-themed wizzley.

Thank you again for the ideas and for the product lines ;-D!

Oh, what would you suggest for luau party-friendly hot drinks (even as I already know the chilled and room-temperature will be one of your recommendations: sangria [over the wine]!) and non-alcoholic cool and room-temperature drinks?

And let's not forget New Year's Eve and New Year parties, which are right around the corner.

Is the weather forecast colder for your southernmost Unitedstatesian state than usual? It's looking that way with three coastal states between me and you!

Luau-themed parties sound as though they will get me through every celebration between now and January 2024!

So thank you for the product lines ;-D!

Yes, absolutely! And for pre-wedding showers and the rehearsal dinner.

Me too, I agree that the luau theme adapts nicely to weddings.

Mightn't it also work for Friends- and Thanks-giving parties, what with an orange color-themed luau working nicely for including pumpkins and what with turkey being so adjustable to all sorts of preparations, such as camp-firing and grilling?

Luau Party theme could work great for weddings too!

The Hawaiian theme here brought to mind something somewhat related, somewhat unrelated.

It's related because it's Hawaii-related but unrelated because it may be camper-related.

I meant to let you know that my feline sentients like the Alex Loughlin Hawaii Five-O, the Jay Hernandez Magnum PI and the ongoing NCIS: Hawai'i television series. We meet -- "Get there early. Get a good seat" -- in my room for my me-and-feline-sentient-family film night, with them on the bed edge, on either side of me sitting on the floor, facing the chest with its television set.

Wouldn't it be just too precious to set feline sentients up in a Hawaii television series-watching corner for when they want down time from a luau-themed party or should you institute -- ;-D -- camper-family film night?!

Me too, I like that "hint" about leave-taking.

Might I start serving coffee when get-togethers need to end? I think so! What about you?

(An acquaintance from university years liked American parties because even students had plenty of food [even if it was all lasagna and red wine ;-D]). She was from Germany and was impressed with the way that Americans had numbers of covered plates and trays to replace whatever got eaten. She always worried at home that student-life one-serving trays only would give party food for an hour at most ;-{! So that would have been their leave-taking "hints": how disappointing for an hour-limited get-together!)

I like that idea as a "hint" that it's time to leave! If that exists in the US, I know nothing about it. Then again, I don't attend many parties.

This comment and its ensuing question appear a bit related because of its family and friends, office parties contexts and a bit unrelated because of its broaching appropriate leaving times.

Tolovaj had an article in which he shared that European party-givers signal that party time is over when hostesses and hosts either go around offering coffee or start setting up a coffee table.

Such a Unitedstatesian equivalent never presented itself in my presence.

Would you know if there's some such similar etiquette regarding personal and work-related parties on our side of the Atlantic pond?

I do like blue, and it is also a good color for anything with a tropical theme!
