Look up luau party playlists online or make your own beach party playlist, consisting of songs you and your friends jive with. If you have a bigger budget, hire a live band or DJ to perform on your party and keep the party vibe alive. Or if you or the even celebrant are musically inclined, be the life of the party and liven up the party yourself!. Also, you can create a special video greeting for the celebrant, highlighting significant adventures and experiences during the past years to make the occasion more sentimental.

After all the festivities, head out into the beach with your special someone and surprise him/her with a romantic bonfire set up for two. Have wine prepared for the both of you. Pick up your guitar and serenade him/her through the night. Share stories, have drinks, and enjoy each other’s company and celebrate the special occasion. Make the most of that special someone’s day by spending its last moments together under the blanket of stars, looking forward to another year to celebrate together. However, before anything else, secure a permit for lighting a bonfire either from the hotel’s administrative services or the local safety department.
