Background Entertainment: We had Ocean wave sounds playing behind the mural. We had a mix of Hawaiian music and beach boys playing on the large portable CD player. We had a small area set up for the kids on the deck with Lilo and Stitch playing on a TV/DVD player on a small outdoor coffee table with 6 little kid chairs (rented). Photo Opportunity: Each guest or family was encouraged to have a picture taken in front of the mural. (these photos were used for thank you cards afterwards). After all the guests arrived, we had a panoramic group photo in front of the mural as well.
