I love any excuse for a theme party. So for my mom's birthday we had a Hawaiian Luau. (It was inspired by the party my friend Jenni threw for her roommate.) The party was complete with melt-in-your-mouth Hawaiian kabobs, pineapple rice, strawberry daiquiris and pina coladas, Hawaii decor (again thanks to jenni), grass skirts and leis, and german chocolate cake. yum.
