Jamaican Theme Party

Thinking of doing a Jamaican theme party? One of my favorite parties ever has to be the 'Jamaican Me Crazy!' island party theme.

Jamaican Party

The Jamaican theme party is one of those creative theme party ideas that's packed with fun details that you can easily recreate for a unique adult birthday party theme, an amazing dinner party, or an engagement party!

The 'Jamaican Me Crazy' party theme gets its' name from the fact that I'm just crazy for all things Jamaican! I love the unique Jamaican food ideas, the beach, the breezy atmosphere, and island music.

Jamaican Me Hungry

Give me Jamaican jerk chicken, any time, any place! It's a must for this themed party menu. Here are my island party favorites that you can cook up right on the grill.

Island Spiced Potatoes: Cut potatoes into cubes and put in a foil packet with butter. Season with tarragon flakes and curry powder...oh they're good!
Jamaican Jerk Chicken: Cut the chicken into strips and season with jerk spice. Allow it to marinade for an hour or so. Cook on skewers for easy party food.
Bacon Wrapped Grilled Pineapple: This treat goes with any island theme party. These can also be made on skewers.
Coconut Cookies, Cake, or Cupcakes

Jamaican Me Smile

You've heard it a hundred times: 'It's all in the details'. Well, it's true. The details make this party theme pop!

For any island theme, paper lanterns seem to be the easiest party decoration and really give you a bang for your buck. They add a breezy carefree and colorful element. What's better, is that they're super simple to store and reuse again and again for different party themes. They dress up nearly any party.

I gathered several options for paper lanterns from various venders and they're just below. After searching for just the right lanterns locally, I found it was much easier and cheaper (and much less gas usage) to order them online.

Jamaican theme party decorations can be as elegant or as casual as you like. If you're having an outdoor cookout, create the island look by covering your patio umbrella with raffia skirting or palm leaves. Serve frozen drinks with tiny parasols and put up beach signs and other casual reminders of the island.

If it's an elegant party, say for an engagement party, use aqua and green colors for tableware. Dress up the tables with shells and give shell necklaces as party favors.

Another detail that's really 'Jamaican' is steel drum music. This music transports me right to the islands!

Every age group from young to very mature seems to love steel drum music, so it must have a similar effect on many people!
