Why Luau & Tropical Party Supplies Are in Demand

Tropical party supplies wholesale may seem seasonal, but stocking up is worth it for the high demand during summer events and luaus.

A luau is a tropical Hawaiian feast. These gatherings are characterized by bright colors, a relaxed environment and island-inspired food. 

Because these parties welcome guests of all ages, they appeal to a broad audience. You’ll find everyone from school administration employees to companies to event planners in your store buying décor. 

Some common types of parties that use a luau or tropical theme include the following.

• Graduations
• Summer birthdays
• Corporate events
• Weddings
• Anniversaries
• Pool parties
• Beach festivals
• Retail promotions
• Pop-up events

Your store visitors might come in looking for a more relaxed party atmosphere and one that includes a sunshiny appearance. While many people long to travel to tropical locales, some simply can’t afford it or can’t make the trip. Therefore, bringing the beachy feel to their area is a popular way to celebrate.

Luau and Tropical Party Décor for the Perfect Ambiance

As you consider what to stock in your store, consider how your customers might celebrate using the luau theme. Here’s a look at some items you might order wholesale to support this popular summer celebration.

Help your customers set the scene for their celebrations by stocking these important décor items from SoNice Party.

1. Themed Balloon Garland Kit

You’ll find a variety of styles and themes available in the balloon garland. However, the one you’ll want for the summer months is the luau party. It’s a great focal point for any party or for use as a photo backdrop. 

Alternatively, if you’re looking for a more versatile balloon garland kit, consider the summer fruits. This is ideal for tropical parties or luaus.

2. Mylar Balloon Banner Kit

The luau party balloon banner kit is pretty with its gold lettering and large, colorful accent balloons of a juicy watermelon and a plump pineapple. With lettering measuring 16 inches, it’s a great balloon to string up and decorate an event to help set the scene. 

3. Themed Table Cover Luau Party

These table cloths measure 54 by 96 inches. They help set the tone of a tropical or luau party using something every party must have – a table. If you prefer a more universal table cover that your guests can use for any party theme, get some of the brightly colored table covering rolls that can help outfit an entire party center with the coverings you need for any type of party. The rolls measure a total of 100 feet of table covering!

4. 12-Piece Luau Party Package

Give your customers an ideal package filled with the décor they need for a party. This party package includes three 12-foot garlands, a honeycomb pineapple, honeycomb palm tree, tissue flamingo, tiki, luau pig, a hula girl and a hula boy. It’s a great staple to help get started with a fun tropical theme. 

5. Mexico Papel Picado, Tropical Fruits

For tropical parties, offer this traditional Mexican decoration. Papel picado is a tradition for Mexican themed parties. Each package includes the strings and other items you’ll need to successfully hang the décor.

6. Grass Skirts for Tables

You don’t need to wear a grass skirt to allow the traditional luau décor to liven up your tropical party. Instead, let your tables wear the grass skirt. These fun metallic table skirts come in a bright emerald color, reminiscent of the color of grass during the summer growing season. 

These skirts are also incredibly easy to use. Just peel the protective adhesive tape to stick it to the table’s edge.

7. Colorful Plates

Luaus feature bright colors. Stocking bright tableware will make your store a luau party destination. These 9-inch plates in fuchsia can make for a great tropical party addition. Or shop our full collection of disposable plates to choose colors and designs that make sense for your area and the types of parties you supply goods for.

8. Flamingos

Charming pink birds tend to grow in popularity during the summer months. You’ll find flamingo décor widely available from wholesale retailers and in demand from your customers. Some items SoNice Party regularly stocks include:

• Themed balloon bouquet, aloha flamingo
• Themed craft bags, pack of 12 flamingos
• 10-inch themed lanterns, 3 pieces aloha flamingo
• Themed mylar balloon, aloha flamingo
• Themed treat boxes, 12 count flamingos

9. Pineapples

Much like flamingos, pineapples are a popular luau or tropical party décor item. Party hosts might purchase real pineapples to slice up and offer guests. But decorating with them can add to the atmosphere. Here’s a look at some popular pineapple décor items you might consider stocking for summer gatherings.

• 3-piece pineapple honeycomb set
• 2-piece helium balloon pineapple set

10. Watermelon

Stock the 2-piece mylar balloon set in a brightly colored watermelon. This is perfect for a tropical celebration. Add in a mylar strawberry balloon for a full tropical fruit medley.

Or offer some super fun fancy party straws that come in a variety of summer fruits. These packages include 12 straws and can be ideal for making an alcoholic beverage a little more inviting or to help children identify which cup is theirs at a party. They’re truly for guests of all ages to bring a little summer color and fun to any beverage.
