Aloha Bar and Grill: Guests next proceeded to the Bar where the drink menu was printed on a large Magenta poster again decorated with silk flowers like previously described. There was also another tissue Aloha sign that decorated a large "Bar and Grill" sign. On the drink menu poster, the items to each drink were printed so people could make their own drink or use the bartender if they wanted. Three blenders were set up along with all the ingredients and garnishes. Party ice was in the freezer and ice chests adjoining the table. The drinks were served in plastic bamboo glasses with Hibiscus topped straws. Appetizers were also on this table with Tiki decorated napkins and plates. The 'Pu pu platter" (appetizer in Hawaiian) had rolled meats and cheese cubes with the fish and umbrella picks. We also had sushi rolls, and vegetables and dip trays. Drink Menu: Corona's with lime - In a mini fridge at the side of the table Mixed Sodas – In a large blue plastic tub with ice (flowers could be added) Pina Colada 6 oz Pineapple juice 2 oz Coconut milk ½ -1cup ice 2 oz light rum (omit for virgin) Garnish with pineapple, juice from lime, and cherry Strawberry Colada 8 strawberries 5 oz pineapple juice 2 oz coconut cream ½ - 1cup ice 2 oz light rum (omit for virgin) Garnish with pineapple and cherry Banana Colada 1 banana 6 oz pineapple juice 1.5 oz coconut mile ½ - 1 cup ice 2 oz light rum (omit for virgin) Garnish with pineapple and cherry Tropical Smoothie 1 cup fruit of choice 1/2 cup ice 6 oz pineapple or orange juice Blue Hawaiian 1 oz Light Rum 1 oz Blue Curacao 2 oz Pineapple juice 1 oz Coconut milk 1 cup ice Garnish with pineapple, lime and /or cherry Virgin Blue Hawaiian Over cup of crushed ice pour ½ pineapple juice ½ 7up 2 drops of blue food color garnish with lime or pineapple 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. Hawaiian name game: We then announced the start of using their Hawaiian name only game or lose a pin to the person who caught you using an English name. Aloha Grill Menu: Guests then were encouraged to get their meal and relax a bit. The Grill table had the menu printed on a brilliant blue poster board again decorated with silk flowers. This menu hung over the table. Each dish also had a place card on the table. I tried to give the dishes Hawaiian themed titles if possible. Appetizers – on Bar table Sushi rolls – on wooden dish Pu pu platter - Meat and cheese Veges chips and dip – on covered trays  Salads Watermelon Falls - Fresh tropical fruit salad served in a watermelon and cascading out on to the large silver serving tray Ocean in Motion –Blue Jell-o with Swedish Fish in a real fish bowl Meal Maui Lime Chicken and Shrimp – lime marinated and grilled then served on Tiki party trays Tropical Shish kabobs with rice – Tri tip marinated in ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil with red bell peppers, pineapple, onions, and mushrooms served on a foil covered broiler pan. We also did a vegetarian version of this using "chickettes" instead of tri tip. Hawaiian baked beans with pineapple – Maple sugar beans with BBQ sauce, brown sugar and pineapple served in a slow cooker Desert Hula Ula Ula Lemon mousse cake – decorated with my dashboard dancing hula girl from Hawaii
