Hawaiian luau invitations often picture pineapples and exotic cocktails.
Luau invitations provide important information about the event and also set the tone for what's to come, whether an enchanting Polynesian evening under the stars or tropical fun in the sun. The invitation should have enough space for the date, time, address, RSVP contact information, name of the host, and if applicable, guest of honor. Luau party invitations may also include the party's theme, preferred attire and directions. Does this Spark an idea?
Print Luau Invitation Templates
One way to obtain free luau invitations is to create them from free, printable templates. In some instances, there is a required action such as signing up for a free newsletter. Two of the several web sites that do not require any action to download their free templates are Hoover Web Design and Hawaiian Luau Party. Hoover Web Design offers templates in a variety of brightly colored designs featuring luau traditions such as a hula dancer, pineapple, Hawaiian shirt, tropical drink and more. Their templates also leave blank spaces where you can add your luau information such as time and place. Hawaiian Party Supply offers vintage hula designs in black and white and color. Prompts are included in Polynesian style fonts with spaces for the name of the guest of honor or occasion, date, time, place and RSVP information. Once folded, you will have a blank space inside the invitation for adding information.
Create Luau Invitation Designs
Creating your own design can make it easier to coordinate the invitation with the luau's theme. This requires basic word processing skills because you will need to type the text, insert an image (and border if desired) and format the page for printing. Options for images include clip art, free downloadable coloring page images and photographs (that aren't copyrighted) with a Hawaiian or specifically luau theme. With photo editing skills, you can make a fun invitation using the photograph of the guest of honor in a tropical setting.
Transform an Everyday Object into a Luau Invitation
An everyday object transformed into a luau invitation is another type of invitation that can be coordinated with the party's theme. This type of invitation is best suited for handing out but can be mailed. If the luau has a beach theme, an invitation in a small bottle or written on a sea shell or flip flop is fitting. A small card tagged to a silk flower lei provides guests with both information and something Hawaiian to wear to the luau. A kitchen sponge cut into the shape of a Sponge Bob cartoon character is a fun invitation for a Hawaiian Sponge Bob luau. Imagination is the main requirement for this type of invitation. Coconut postcard invitations made from real coconuts is another fun option (dry coconuts cost less to mail than fresh ones).
