Hallmark Artist Alyissa Johnson is throwing a fun and refreshing tiki party inspired by Hallmark Gold Crown’s Summer Barware Collection. She decks out an entire room with vintage tiki vibes using grass skirts, pineapples, and dim lighting. Competing the look are a fun DIY tiki lamp craft, a delicious spiked tropical punch, and tasty tropical cupcakes.
Check out these ideas and more in the video and if you are really feeling those island vibes learn more about tiki icons, drinks, music and more in our tiki 101 article. You will love having a tiki party because the relaxed, campy atmosphere sets your guests at ease, giving everyone an opportunity to connect and have a little more fun. Aloha!
