My daughter wanted an ALOHA theme for her birthday (in SEPTEMBER - which was a challenge as tropical season was over and she decided this the end of August!!). So I searched high and low for invitations that would coordinate....I found some at Hobby Lobby BUT wasn't willing to pay the price they were asking for a pack of 10...So I figured I could make my own (which I dragged my feet on) SO at Wal-Mart I found these notecards....
Cute BUT not quite blingy enough.....so I added rhinestones....
With the invites done, I could move on to making the menu.....which of course had to coordinate with the theme....
I ordered the cake....
Balled a buncha melon (which seemed to impress her girlfriends)
The food ready to be served.....
I made Kahaluu punch...(which later I added some UV Coconut Rum to...YUM-O)
I needed somewhere to put the drink umbrellas......I tried "sand" (which was really crushed up graham cracker) and that failed....So I wracked my brain and came up with this.....
The waters even got label-ed......
I made these wreaths for the front door (I will do a separate post about these)
And for the party I added these pennants (made from paint chip samples)
We bought some glow in the dark leis (that we thought would be so cool BUT they were a pain in the butt! We had to put them together) and grass skirts. ALOHA
