Aloha Table Setting Idea

Get ready to make your beach party a real blast with these easy ideas for turning any table into a festive Aloha Beverage Station!

• Cover your beverage table with colorful fabrics. We used the ever-popular Ikat (pronounced ee-kaht) fabric, which lends an islandy pop of color. The fabric was used as a wide runner over the top of basic yellow fabric. The size of your table will depend on the variety of beverages and garnishes you plan to serve. Round tables are great for 360º service while long tables work well when placed against a wall or fence.

• Search orientaltrading.com for item 13623712 to find instructions on creating this fun and easy-to-make ALOHA sign. Attach it to the front of the table or hang behind the drink station to welcome your guests into the party. After each letter is created, simply attach the letters to a festive fabric ribbon using Glue Dots® then secure the sign to the table or wall using Glue Dots® or thumb tacks.

• Need an easy and colorful backdrop? Look no further than our hula skirts. Simply attach a few skirts together using the hook and loop waist bands to form one long piece. Then hang these on your wall, fence or between deck posts using tacks, glue dots or fishing line. Use your creativity to design stripes or color blocks with the skirts.

• Festive vessels were added to the table using different heights and textures along the way. Glass apothecary jars, beverage jars and seashell punch bowls were used to hold both drinks and cold bottles while cake stands and pedestals were used to add height to the vessels.

• Luau drinkware like textured pineapple cups and embellished margarita glasses set the stage for fun in the sun! Order LOTS of glasses…3 or more glasses per guest is a good bet.
