Margaritas and tropical decor can bring a Jimmy Buffeet feel to any party.
Jimmy Buffet's "Margaritaville" and "Cheeseburger in Paradise" inspire a party atmosphere and can form the basis of a Jimmy-Buffet themed party. From cool tropical drinks to good music and good food, a Jimmy-Buffet party theme might be just the thing you need to bring the spirit of laid-back tropical living to your next celebration. Does this Spark an idea?
Wasting Away in Margaritaville
Host a clam bake, serve up some large margaritas, and have guests attend your shindig in their swimsuits around the pool. Decorate with lounge chairs and colorful sun umbrellas, and serve a menu consisting of lobster, shrimp and other seafood. Pass out colorful Hawaiian shirts and sailor caps as party favors, play Jimmy Buffet's greatest hits on the stereo, and waste away in Margaritaville. Add limbo for prizes (think Jimmy Buffet CDs, margarita glasses and salt shakers) to the party.
Cheeseburger in Paradise
Follow the lyrics to the Jimmy Buffet song, and lay out a table with all the trimmings for a big, juicy cheeseburger. Pickles, onion slices, Heinz 57 steak sauce and cold beer are the suggested menu items. Grill burgers on the barbecue pit, and serve your guests cheeseburgers around the pool. If you don't live in the tropics, bring in some fake palm trees to help set the mood. Jimmy Buffet would.
Jimmy Buffet Karoke Night
Host a Jimmy Buffet karaoke event at night, with colorful party patio lights and palm tree decor. Serve colorful tropical drinks at an open cabana, grill shrimp and fish, and have guests take turns singing Jimmy Buffet songs in karaoke. If someone plays guitar, include a Jimmy Buffet group singing event. Add a Hawaiian luau dancing event for prizes. Include a coconut-cracking game contest to see which guest can smash the most coconuts in a one-minute period.
