The summer heat can call for a nice barbeque. In the warm weather, you might dream of being off in some tropical paradise full of sandy beaches, exotic animals, brightly colored flowers, and palm trees. Why not bring tropical paradise to your next summer barbeque?
To transform your space into a tropical paradise, you will need to do some decorating. Bright flowers and palm leaves can be spread out on tables or you can use grass skirts as table skirts to give a more Hawaiian feel to your party. Tropical fruits like bananas, watermelon, and pineapple can even serve as beautiful decorations for your event. Pineapples can make wonderful centerpieces for your tables. You can either carve out pineapples to serve as flower vases or you can paint them to fit the color motifs of your event.
Palm leaves and fronds can serve as table runners, placemats, garland, and much more. If you do not have access to palm leaves and palm fronds, you can cut out your own using poster board or cardstock paper. A bare lawn can be decorated with lawn flamingos.
Encourage your guests to really get into the tropical theme. They can wear their brightest summer outfits to your tropical barbeque and you can even have sunglasses for everyone to try on. You can even collect some wacky sunglasses for guests to wear for photo booth pictures. Flower necklaces and straw hats make great accessories for a tropical barbeque as well. Brightly colored flip flops can make fun, useful party favors as well.
Beach balls, water guns, and hula hoops can be used as photo props as well as toys for the kids to play with. To keep guests entertained, you can set up the pool and let them play limbo. If you decide to have games, don’t forget to have prizes. Ideas for tropical prizes include fans, baseball caps, water bottles, and bottles of wine for adults. Kids will enjoy prizes like stuffed or inflatable tropical animals or beach balls.
Don’t forget to set the scene with music as well. Try a wide range of calm, beachy tunes and upbeat, tropical songs. You can even include some Caribbean music and guitar or ukulele music on the playlist as well. Some great songs for a tropical barbeque playlist include Kokomo and One Love.
