Tahiti Sweetie Party!

Today we held an amazing Tahiti Sweetie party at our house!  It was so amazingly fun!  We had family and friends over to break up the cold winter... by going to Tahiti!

The "Tiki Bar" - Bamboo tablecloth background, with banana leaves, hurricane glasses, a fishing net, and a rafia table skirt!

Party Supplies from Oriental Trading Co.

Backdrop and table settings.

Table settings were simple, but elegant.  A scrapbooking bamboo sheet, with mini banana leaves, and hibiscus flowers.  Mini pineapples brought the look together.  I got the mini pineapples

here on Amazon.

Amazing Tahiti - Bora Bora - Overwater bungalow background from Oriental Trading.

The tables

Cool Palm Tree cutlery design.  

Napkins, plates, cutlery.  The tiki cups are vintage that I found at yard sales.  I keep looking for them but only have found two so far.  Macadamia nuts from Hawaii.

Tahiti is famous for her black pearls - so we had lots of black pearls!  I bought the sixlet packet from Oriental Trading.  I bought black because they were pearls, but you can get almost any color from the rainbow - 2 pounds for only $9.00 here.

It was such a fun night!

We had a great feast - everyone brought a dish to share.

I made BBQ Shrimp Tacos!

Corn Tortilla Shells

1 PKG Frozen Tails Off Shrimp (thawed)

BBQ Sauce

Lime Juice

Butter

Rice - 2-4 cups rice - cooked and ready to go

Lettuce

(Cheese and Ranch Dressing Optional)

For the Shrimp mix:  Add the butter (about 2 TBSP) to a pan, melt.  Add your shrimp.  Squeeze lime juice to your taste over the shrimp.  Saute till done.  Add in the rice mixture, and add enough BBQ sauce to nicely cover everything.  

For the Tortillas:  Add butter to your frying pan - and fry up enough tortillas for your mixture!

Put your mixture in your tortilla, add lettuce, cheese and ranch dressing!

GAMES:

Games are so much fun!  Here are the list of games we played:

Limbo Contest - How Low can You Go?

Lava Hot Rock - Like Hot Potato - except with a red bean bag.

Tahiti Trivia - any Tahitian trivia will do - Google it!

That's it!  Have fun at your Tahiti Sweetie Party!
