In the late 1800’s the last Princess of Hawaii wrote a song called Aloha Oe, this is the most popular of Hawaiian songs and can be found recorded by many different artists. Another favorite Hawaiian song was written in 1925 and is called the Hawaiian Wedding Song, or Ke Kali Nei Au by Charles E. King. In 1972 Larry Lindsey Kimura wrote the lyrics to the music; which was written by Eddie Kamae and the song is called Morning Dew. One of the better known recording of the song Blue Hawaii was sung my Elvis in 1961. In 1994 for the 100th anniversary of the monarchy overthrow Kealii Reichel wrote the song Kawaipunahele. Game idea: take a clear container, then fill with candy, toys or other objects and have the guests guess the number of items inside.

Gather up some leftover brown packing boxes, wrap them in a matching theme color design and place them throughout the event space for instant decorations.

Aloha spirit may not be the kind of law that makes it illegal to do harm to another in Hawaii, but the definition of aloha spirit, and the guidance for public officials to remember this philosophy when performing their duties, is contained in Hawaii's state laws. It serves as a reminder to the Hawaiian people, of the thread of life that binds all of us, and connects us with the past and future generations.

Aloha spirit, much like the Golden Rule, reminds us to consider the other person and try to put ourselves in their place, so we understand from their perspective. Breaking this law will not get you fined or put in jail. Like the Golden Rule, the Aloha Spirit could change the world.
Aloha is actually an acronym for the following:
Akahai, meaning kindness, to be expressed with tenderness;
Lokahi, meaning unity, to be expressed with harmony;
Oluolu, meaning agreeable, to be expressed with pleasantness;
Haahaa, meaning humility, to be expressed with modesty;
Ahonui, meaning patience, to be expressed with perseverance.
These traits are actually pursued by the Hawaiian people who wish to embody character that express the charm, warmth and sincerity of Hawaii's people. It was the philosophy of native Hawaiians, and was presented as a gift to the people of Hawaii. Aloha is more than a greeting, farewell, or form of address. Aloha is an expression of mutual regard and affection, and extends warmth and caring, with no obligation in return. Aloha is the essential element in relationships where each person is important to every other person, as a whole. Aloha means to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen, and to know the unknowable.
What better way to honor this wonderful culture than to have an Aloha party, and spread the Aloha message far and wide? Be sure to include Aloha and its history in your next Hawaiian Aloha party.
