Our theme for our Recognition Dinner was a tropical theme. In the entrance we had an arch that we covered with lights and tropical flowers (which you can get at your craft store), each table had a pineapple and other tropical fruit centerpiece. I ordered a hawaiian based menu and we took the words to "Kokomo" and made our own little changes (while we had sunglasses and brightly colored tropical shirts). We even had maracas and other instruments to play along to the music. We received a standing ovation!
