Me, Getting Ready For The Luau

————————————————————————————

During the planning of the Hawaiian Wedding, Gordon and I knew that it was our responsibility to host and pay for the Rehearsal Dinner. Because the wedding would take place in Hawaii Gordon and I suggested that the Rehearsal Dinner be held at a Luau. I think at first not many were interested in attending a Luau, they wanted some dinner at the estate they would all be staying in out in the North Shore, but we insisted. 🙂

Our goal was to get everyone out of the estate for one night, and get them into Waikiki for a professional Luau.

During our 13 years of living in Hawaii we had been to several Luau’s. The Hale Koa Hotel has one of the best Luau’s on the island. We knew this, which is why we wanted the Luau at The Hale Koa. Yes, we were staying there. And yes, it was convenient to us, but we would have booked the best Luau no matter where it was because we wanted the best for the bride and groom. I do believe that we did deliver!

Buying The Luau Leis In Chinatown

Prior to the Luau, the day before, Gordon and I went into Chinatown to buy the Leis.

Chinatown has the best leis and the best prices.

Before we left Hawaii in 1999, my girlfriends and I would drive into Chinatown for the afternoon, have lunch and do some shopping. Everything was so open back then. Not now. Everything was very closed off, as in you had to enter into stores along streets, nothing was open. That was very sad to see. I miss the open markets. It was just streets lined with stores.

We Bought Leis For Two VIP Tables Of Ten, And Four Additional Leis For Some Special Guests That Were Going Through Some Sadness

We Brought the Pretty Asian Bags Along To Place The Leis Into

(We also bought two Styrofoam Coolers for the Lies as well. The leis must be kept cool so that they don’t wilt and die.)

It Matched My Muu-Muu Perfectly!

The Luau Guests Gifts From Us

I am really into gift giving so I am always there when it comes to coming up with gifts for any occasion.

I knew that I wanted something very bride and groom souvenirish, that is when I found these coasters online that could be personalized. They are a lovely Palm Leaf.

The coasters have Brodie and Mackenzie’s name on them along with the wedding date. We bought many of them!

I also purchased many of the Ohana bags you see above. Probably a good 50 of them. They are for the women and girls. Cosmetic Bags, etc. They have many uses. For women they can be for cosmetics. For the girls they can be for hair accessories, or pencils cases, etc.
