Hula Girl Party
How to have a beach party or pool party with a hula girl theme

She'll surely say "Aloha" to a Hula Girl birthday party. A Hula Girl party is an ultra girlie
version of a luau with emphasis on hot pink, hibiscus, and hula for the honies. With
grass skirts and touch of Tiki, there's every reason to celebrate with a Hawaiian Hula
Girl party!

Your little hula cuties are ready to shake their booties, but are you ready to shake
and sway the hula girl way? Relax, we'll show you how to be a hula girl in no time
with a video suggestion to help. Here's how to bring islands home with a "lei" cool
party that's perfect for the pool, the beach or your backyard:

Honolulu Lulu says name that girl! Get the party started by giving the girls a
Hawaiian name. Translate names online with the Hawaiian N ame Generator .
Present girls with their Hawaiian name at the party when you offer the
traditional lei greeting. Your little hula girls will appreciate a lei flower clip and a
lei anklet or bracelet as well, and if your budget allows a grass skirt.

Flirt the skirts. A Hula Girl party is all about the grass skirt, and the super cute
and easy hula girl mini cakes, left, by Wilton, are made from the Wilton Mini
Wonder Mold that you'll use again and again for other parties. More ways to
flirt the skirt:

make grass skirt hula girl invitations by cutting a skirt fringe from
construction paper.
make a grass hula girl skirt from paper streamers.

Lei out the party supplies. Kids will enjoy making their own leis when you pre-cut
some construction paper into hibiscus shapes in orange, yellows, purples and
pinks. Create a few tissue flowers, too and divide with huge wooden beads
(you can also use pink straws as dividers in a pinch). A few silk flowers for each
child provides the finishing touch.

Hula hoop it. Supply some hula hoops for some hip-shaking fun. It's an activity
for the party and a favor in one.

Play pass the hula hoop. Girls hold hands and the birthday girl hold a
hula hoop on her wrist. She attempts to get her whole body through the
hula hoop without letting go of holding hands. Now it's the next girls turn
until completing the loop.
Use a hula hoop to play hula freeze dance game.
Hold a hula olympics. See who can hula the longest. Try hula hooping
around an arm or hula hooping with more than one hula hoop. If you
have five hula hoops, hold them together for a picture of a hula olympics
contest and use it for the thank you cards.

Limbo Luau dance? Go ahead and Limbo dance, but know that while it's often
associated with the Hawaiian islands, the under-the-stick dance actually
originated in Trinidad. Have kids help by holding the limbo sticks.

Hula girl invitation ideas

Retro cool store bought cards: Our favorite hula girl invitation, by Dolce Mia, right,
has retro hula girl feel (nothing says Hula Girl more in a terrific tiki style). And
you're sure to say "Aloha" to the matching thank you cards when you search
using the link on the right.

Easy home made cards: Want to make your own hula girl cards either for the
birthday girl, the thank you cards or the invitations? Embellish a home made card
with a grass skirt fringe you cut from green crepe paper, cellophane, felt or even
construction paper. Now that's a way to hula without spending a lot of moola.

Hand delivered invitation idea: First, find a Hawaiian name for your guests using
the Hawaiian name generator then w rite an in vitation in Hawaiian with help from
alohafriendsluau.com. Write your message on one side in Hawaiian and provide
the English translation for the flip side. For example:

English: "Come celebrate Taylor's first birthday"
Hawaiian: "Hele me hoohiwahiwa Taylor’s mua loa la hanau

Affix your message to a lei and hand deliver by hanging it on the door knob of

each guest. The lei becomes the embellishment for the card.

More ways to set the scene for a Hawaiian hula girl party

Teach a bit of Hawaiian culture and language:

Make a sign: "Hau'oli la hanau" which translates to "Happy Birthday!"

A flower behind the right ear means the wearer is still available, while a
woman who is "taken" wears it on the left.

"Aloha" means both "Hello" and "Goodbye" and the lei, which embodies
the aloha spirit, not only shows hospitality, but also is a symbol of love
and way to say, "peace", "congratulations," "good luck" or "I honor you"
in addition to being a way to greet or bid farewell. Your hula girl party can
include lei making. Better than store bought, and more durable, you can
string shells or beads with alternating tissue paper flowers or flowers cut
from construction paper.

"Mahalo" manners: Teach the girls hula manners. "Mahalo" translates to
"Thank you." Remember that for the gift opening and again for the thank
you cards.

Be a Hula girl! Turn your little "wahinas" into hula girls with the "Be a Hula
Girl" DVD, pictured left. Complement this party activity with the music
"Hawaiian Kiddie Luau," pictured right. Both get high ratings on Amazon.

Gifts for your little hula girl.

Be the life of the luau! The Hula Girl Ukulele, left, comes complete with a
microprocessor with pre-recorded Hawaiian songs.

Zhu-zhula! The perfect gift for the hula birthday girl? A hula zhu-zhu pet is
an ideal gift for a girl in the seven year range. She may already have a
zhu-zhu pet, so you can give it a hula girl accent with the grass skirt
outfit, left.

Muu-move on over to the Barbie Collector series. She might not wear a muu-
muu herself, but she'll appreciate a muu-muu on Barbie Pacific Island
Princess. She wears a traditional island dress known as a muu muu and a
lei of Plumeria, a fragrant blossom native to the islands. Now that's a hula
girl doll.

Hula girl foods
Set a feast for the eyes starting with your table. Lay down a bamboo mat. Dashboard
hula girls provide a theme appropriate accent and you can give them as favors.
Another idea is to create a centerpiece of yellow paper Hula girl Hibisicus flowers.
Learn how to make them below. The girls will love our kids tiki party food ideas, (aimed
at the boys) like the hilarious pu-pu platter. Now shake your hula skirt to the kitchen
for these sweet ideas for girls:

Shake the mold. You can't very well party without the pineapple at a hula girl
party. No pineapple upsidedown cake here! Wilton's pineapple gelatin idea, left,
is the solution. If your party has a tiki theme, you can create a tribal tiki mask
with a few garnishes of strategically placed pineapple or lemon shavings.

Hula girl cookies. Make hilarious Hula girl cookies by using your gingerbread man
cutter to make sugar cookies. See our big batch sugar cookie recipe. Or follow
Martha Stewart's Bathing Beauties recipe.

Warm up to the hula girl cookie icing design of the cute cookies on Flickr.
Use M&M candies to create a bikini top.
To give your hula girl cookie a skirt, cut green fringe from a fruit roll up.
Accent your hula girl with a beach towel napkin and a drink umbrella
propped in a gum drop to shade her.

More hula girl cake ideas:

Edible image hula girl, left, is an easy to use decorating sheet for
buttercream, fondant, gum paste, chocolate, whipped toppings, fudge and
ice cream cakes. Just loosen the design from its backing sheet by gently
rolling it over the edge of a table or counter. Then carefully peel the image
away from the backing sheet, and place on your cake. Made in the United
States, itt fits 8" round cakes and larger.
See the Hula g irl birthday cake , by Family Fun.

A sweet finale: Finding sugar cane at your market is impossible unless you live in
the tropics. If you host a luau often, then chew on this idea: sugar cane swizzle
sticks, which you can order six packs at a time. They keep almost indefinitely and
are great for cocktails and coffee, or as an unusual hostess gift. It's an unusual
treat and the girls will love to try it.
