THURS: Girls' Lunch & Spa

Picture
Since I live in Australia now, chances to visit with all of my US girlfriends are really special.  I'm organizing a no-host lunch at the Wailea Tommy Bahama restaurant.  I'll also host my bridesmaids and Mom to massages at the Grand Wailea's Spa Grande afterwards.  TIP: if have someone with a Hawaii driver's license or community card in your group, you get 15% off.  

FRI: Snorkeling

We're semi-hosting a snorkel trip on the Friday morning before our Sunday wedding.  We didn't have enough of a budget/people to warrant a private charter (most wanted at least $3000 for a two hour tour).  Instead, we're going on the Molikini and Turtle Arches 5 hour tour that includes BBQ lunch and drinks.  Including transportation for 30+ people, the five-hour tour costs $100/person. 

SAT: Bridal Party Nails Morning

The day before the wedding, Saturday morning, I'm also treating my bridesmaids and Mom to manicures and pedicures at Stanz Salon in Kihei.  Click here for more info.

SAT: Rehearsal Dinner

Rehearsal dinner at my parents' home.  Casual, BBQ chicken and the fixings.  I also will have a "decorate your own" cookie bar :) Chef/Caterer is Paul Alkire.  Mom at first suggested the whole wedding be at their place, so this is a compromise :)
