Mai Tais would be an excellent alcoholic beverage. Maybe a pinapple punch for nonalcoholic (pineapple juice, orange juice or lemonade concentrate, fizzy lemon-lime soda).
Kabobs would be a good heavier food item - steak or chicken with veggies and pineapple or other tropical fruits. A sweet terryaki glaze would be nice.
leis
limbo
pina coladas, daiquiris with little umbrellas (it is a "shower")
fresh fruit tray
vintage post cards of tropical locales as a decor/invites
invite everyone to wear their sunglasses and beach hats to the shower for a fun kick
HTH!
