Lei and Greeting Table: As guests arrived they were greeted with silk neck and ankle leis, grass skirts, beachcomber hats, and/or silk flowers for the hair. Each guest was given a nametag made from card stock with a floral or shell sticker partially trimmed out. Little Children got their nametags on their backs. The nametag was personalized with their Hawaiian name and their Island title. English names can be translated into Hawaiian at alohafriends.com. Many of the guests were helping with some aspect of the party, so their Island title reflected that. For example: Lolike -Ohana Lei girl (greeter), Elenola – Island Photographer, Mikala – Island Video Production Manger, Keiko – Goddess of Island Nectars (bartender), Keoni – Island Limbo King, Kalika – Island Witch Doctor, Kala – Island Grill Master, Wikolia – Tropical Temptress of Pineapple Bowling, and of course my 2 year old, Makaio – Little Volcano. Above the table was a large magenta poster with the title "Hawaiian Names and Phrases" this told people how to pronounce their Hawaiian name and gave them about 30 common Hawaiian phrases also found on the website alohafriends.com. This poster was created using the same Monotype Corsiva font. The poster was then decorated with silk flowers hot glued in place to give a 3-D appeal. There was also a hula girl cut out next to this poster. At the greeting table we had a coffee table book with aerial pictures of Hawaii entitled "Above Hawaii". We also had my son's photo albums since birth and his web site loaded on a laptop for people to view. Guests had a mini beach ball labeled with their name for our "tidal wave" game later. Then they each got three mini tropical colored clothespins to keep or lose based on their ability to only use people's Hawaiian names.
