objective:

For their destination wedding in Lanai, Hawaii, the couple wanted location-inspired welcome gifts that reflected the spirit of the island. With a full weekend of festivities planned, they requested that the gifts included snacks and an amenity kit for convenience, along with thoughtful keepsakes guests could take home.

approach:

We began this design with a seagrass basket as the base, then filled it with Hawaiian shortbread cookies, spiced macadamia nuts sealed with a seashell wax stamp, and local honey. A coconut loofah—supporting Hawaiian endangered species—added a meaningful touch. For post-celebration recovery, we included a mini amenity kit, along with a mango travel candle and custom gold foil matches as keepsakes. A custom monogram gift tag and a notecard featuring the weekend itinerary completed the personalized presentation and welcomed guests with the perfect aloha.

the end result:

This gift captured the spirit of the islands and set the tone for an unforgettable weekend. Guests loved the mix of local flavors, meaningful keepsakes, and the beautifully designed itinerary.
