    Has anyone actually made a Tiki Hut on the cheap. How did you hold it together? How did you structure it? Thanks!

    Comparing prices and buying the cheapest helped me get more things and have a bigger and better Luau! I also found Hawaiian names on the Internet for extra fun!

    Be sure to go with the theme, but hang loose and go with it, leave some wiggle room. As people in Hawaii say, halaa!

    For my son's Luau themed rehearsal dinner, I made the center pieces for the dining tables by cutting down large bamboo stalks, cutting pieces at different heights right above the joints (enough to hold a tea lite), and one smaller than the others but deeper to make a cup. Using a glue gun I glued them together in a cluster, them tied three-ply jute rope around the bottom. I put them in the center of the tables, surrounding them with fronds of silk ferns (I found these on sale 50% off at Hobby Lobby) with seashells and silk hibiscus flowers scattered around and on top of the ferns. The cups were filled with water and springs of live bamboo leaves were placed inside. They look great and are fairly inexpensive if you can find someone that has bamboo they will let you take some, like I did.

    For my birthday, I hired a professional hula instructor to come to my house and give my guests a lesson. It was a hit and all the guests, including myself, enjoyed it more than anything!
