How to Pick Party Favors for a Luau Party

Send your guests home with something unique and memorable. There is no need to spend a lot on party favors unless you want to. You can pick simple items for kids' party favors and they will be just as happy. Parents often appreciate favor bags that are not filled with candy, so use your creativity! Favors for adults can be very special and customized if you have a creative plan ahead of time.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Computer with printer
• Macadamia nuts
• Polaroid camera

Make Party Favors for Adults

1. Look online to find stand up caricature cut-outs. Erect the cut-out in an empty corner of your lawn and bring along a Polaroid camera. Your guests can position their heads over the cut-outs and you can send them home with a snappy memento.
2. Use your computer to create custom CDs as party favors. Pick fun upbeat songs to put on the CD, like tunes from the Beach Boys or Don Ho. Complete the idea by making your own custom labels with your home printer. This is a reasonably priced luau favor that sings for itself.
3. Pick up small cans of macadamia nuts to give to guests as favors. You can easily remove the store labels and create new labels with your home printer. Tape the customized labels to the outside of each can. This is a very quick way to add a personal touch to your favors.

Get Creative with Luau Party Favors for Kids

4. Purchase sand buckets and fill them with small items such as disposable towels, sunglasses and mini water guns. These items are geared towards boys and girls alike, and are sure to please kids of all ages.
5. Consider buying flip flops as luau party favors. These items can be used during the summer trips to the pool. Inexpensive flip flops can be found at most major discount stores.
6. Think about using pool toys as party favors for younger children. Doing double duty as bath toys, parents will appreciate the sugar-free fun.
7. Find stick-on appliqués and use them as party favors. Tropical fish or hula girls bring the Hawaiian theme home with your guests. Buy one large package of the appliqués and separate it into smaller quantities to stretch your dollar even further.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep your favors simple and gender-neutral. You can buy in bulk to save a few bucks.
• Know that your guests will enjoy anything you give away. Try not to spend too much time over-thinking the favor bags.
