1. Give Out Leis ✨

Cost: $At homeCute mode • 🌶️🌶️

Action

Start with leis. Buy them or make your own with flowers from the store. Stand facing each other and place one around the other person's neck. Talk about why you picked this theme for the night. It sets a good tone and takes only five minutes. You can leave them on while you do the other activities.

Pro-Tip

Buy ready made leis to save time. If you decide to make them use thick string so they do not break during the night. Keep them in a bag until you are ready to use them.

Stay close for a moment after you put on the lei and share one thing you are looking forward to in the night.
