‘Tis the season….it’s another Luau party! \u00a0Our dear friend Brenda of GreatStitch<\/a> added Lunar in front of her Luau and thus a slumber party was born. \u00a0Below Brenda gives us the fun facts about her cute party.
\n $\"\"$ <\/a>
\nWhen we found out our sweet little friend next door wanted a luau party for her sixth birthday, we knew it was time for a serious bash.\u00a0\u00a0And when we found out it was a sleepover for Claire\u2019s friends, we knew only a \u201cLunar Luau\u201d would do.\u00a0\u00a0Since a trip to Hawaii was out of the question, we decided to bring the islands to the middle of Oklahoma.
\n $\"\"$ <\/a>The living room became the sleeping quarters.\u00a0\u00a0Each party guest had a monogrammed pillowcase <\/a>and gift bag<\/a> from GreatStitch<\/a> with her initial on it.\u00a0\u00a0The pillowcases served as chair covers for the first part of the evening, and were tied with tulle bows. Then they were used for the sleepover portion of the evening, and finally each guest got to take them home in their bags as a remembrance of a special night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/div>\n

A gorgeous name banner hung over the fireplace under the giant purple lanterns.\u00a0\u00a0It may not come as a surprise that purple is Claire\u2019s favorite color.\u00a0\u00a0Claire got a special outfit for the occasion with a \u201cgrass skirt\u201d tutu and a GreatStitch birthday shirt<\/a>.<\/div>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/div>\n

The dining room was transformed into the ultimate beach party site.\u00a0\u00a0A frame of bamboo was draped with a recycled fishing net and covered in flowers and strung with lantern lights.\u00a0\u00a0The buffet was home to the roast pig (ham sandwiches and bacon wrapped wienies), pineapple mango salsa, and an array of desserts, including specially prepared cookies from Last Course Bakery<\/a> and coconuts (chocolate cake balls).\u00a0\u00a0We made a bright floral valance that matched the pillowcases for over the window.\u00a0\u00a0And AndersRuff did the Luau <\/a>Water labels, the napkin rings (address labels punched and ribboned) and the name cards.<\/div>\n

The table featured tiki torches to show off the flowered plates with personalized place cards and utensil holders from Anders Ruff.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0They were also the source for the Luau Water labels for the drinks.\u00a0\u00a0Each place setting included a frozen strawberry lemonade drink with flowered straw, a pail filled with sand (pudding), and veggies in a bamboo holder.\u00a0\u00a0The lovely photos of the event were taken by Digital Detours Photography.<\/div>\n
