(updatet 31/03/09 - sorry it took so long!)
Probably against better judgement I've decided to post a few pictures from Saturday's Tiki-party, but it will have to be another day as I don't have them here at the moment. Please be patient - I promise they will be here soon :).
What I can tell you so far is that a Tiki-themed party is great fun. We went with the easily hosted type: Tropical punch (welcome drink), store bought snacks & tropical fruit & dips, and everybody brings their own drinks. For decorations we hung up home-made paper palmtrees on the wall, decorated the tables with real banana leaves, and put a strange water feature on the living room table consisting of a tiny, yeIlow, plastic duck & the top of a pineapple in a bowl of water. Dressing-up for the occation was optional. As the hosts T & I at least had to dress up a bit (T with a fedora & shorts, I in a summer dress, both bearing leis and flowers in our hair), and a few of the guest showed up with "decorations" - very cool!

So, the party was a success - at least I would say so. The first guests left around 1:30 am and the last left after 4 am, so everybody must have been enjoying themselves. I know I did. And not surprisingly, I definately recommend everybody to host a tiki-party!
The hula-hostess herself...presenting "Kakila"!
...and her partner in crime: "Konia"!
The dynamic mixing duo...just before they rocked up a batch of Strawberry Margaritas!
Two happy chappies relaxing tiki-style
A few of our guests in deep conversation - Check out the palmtree!
(It's hand-made by yours truely [brag, brag...])
AM rockin' in the rocking chair. Love the dress!
All talk and no fun...(;0P)?
Our recommendation: "Be here or be square!"
Piña Colada comin' right up!
Jeni D , our gorgeous & fun-loving Canadian buddy guested our pad this evening.Wouldn't be a party without our Jen
The gang: Marte, Mari & K: Good friends from my earliest days at uni(thrilled you all could come - long, long tme no see!)
...finally, greatest of thanks to our fabulous friend E for helping out with the party (who probably won't be happy with me for posting that photo of her, but then again, it's not my fault you always pull faces on photos!)! We definately wouldn't have been ready without your help! I'm forever grateful for your friendship.
Oh ... and we're going to make the Tiki-party into AN ANNUAL EVENT!
