Generally, couples don't worry much about entertaining wedding guests beyond planning a reception. However, when you plan a Maui destination wedding, guests typically don't simply fly in for a day. They make a vacation out of this experience, and it nice for the wedding couple to offer some fun excursions and perhaps even host one or two.
Place a gift bag in each hotel guest room, and one handy option would be to purchase beach bags which can then double as a helpful tote. Load it up with a few amenities such as sunscreen, snacks and water as well as a bunch of local information. People need to know where to purchase items such as medicine or toiletries if the need arises, so provide a list of close-by grocery stores or drug stores. It's also nice to include a wedding itinerary that lists information about the ceremony, reception and other wedding-related events. You also should provide information about cool local excursions that people might enjoy.
Obviously many people would enjoy simply lounging on the seashore, but there are some logistics in regards to even this simple activity. For instance, too which beach should guests go? Maui has a many excellent beaches, but for someone unfamiliar to the area, it is helpful to provide your guests with a few examples and provide information about how to get there. Of course, if you will all be staying a resort, the resort probably includes swimming pools, beach access, towels and beach chairs.
If your guests have an entire day free, consider booking a tour that takes them along the Road to Hana. While this 68-mile stretch of road can take an entire day to traverse, it's a wildly popular excursion and a great way to spend a day in Maui. The journey is almost entirely within a tropical rainforest and provides opportunities to hike to waterfalls, walk through jungles and enjoy some of the most beautiful coastline on earth. While you can rent a car and do the drive yourself, taking a tour bus frees you up to simply enjoy the scenery. Most tour companies provide food, which is important because food is only available at the beginning and the end of the journey.
You might not have enough time for all-day trek to Hana, but there are many other ideas to think about. For instance a sunset cocktail cruise or a whale-watching trip is a great way to spend a few hours, and this would be an excellent activity for your whole wedding party. Horseback riding, ATV tours, kayaking trips and parasailing are just a sample of other items guests might enjoy.
