Tip 1: Keep in mind when creating your registry to register for enough items. Matter of fact, register items multiple times to ensure that you have enough gifts as guests. Tip 2: Make sure there are a variety of price points for your wedding registry, usually start items to list on the registry at $10 dollar increments.

Luau in Hawaii

Written by Marie Glodt
Travel to Maui

As a travel agent here in Hawaii I am often times asked by our clients "should I attend a luau?"

My answer is always yes! I think they are a "must do" when you are here in the Hawaiian Islands.

Luaus are about 3 hours long, around $100 per person and include your drinks, dinner and show.



If you have never attended a luau before I suggest a Polynesian revue. This will include the dancing from the island of Tahiti, Hawaii and the fire knife dancer from Samoa!

If a more traditional luau is your liking then a Hawaiian hula is suggested. Here on Maui one such luau would be the Old Lahaina Luau.




Most luaus are 5-7 nights a week and many sell out weeks in advance. .

Passports

The county clerk should be able to provide most necessary information for the wedding ceremony, so please use the US Marriage Laws website link above, which provides the telephone number to contact regarding marriage licenses. Couples should submit their application at least a few weeks before the wedding ceremony.

After your wedding, the officiant will sign the license. The officiant will have the best man and maid of honor sign as witnesses and then either the wedding couple, wedding planner, or the officiant will submit the documentation to the courthouse. Within the month, couples should receive the marriage certificate in the mail.
