Write "Aloha" on the front cover of the guest book. Alternatively, write out a Hawaiian song, prayer or verse that pertains to love or weddings. Include the English translation if you want.

2
Arrange silk plumeria or orchid blooms or small seashells around the cover of the guest book. Create a heart, border or spell out the word "Aloha" with the embellishments rather than writing it. Use beads or dyed rice to create images of the waves, palm trees, turtles or other Hawaiian icons that tie into your wedding if you don't want to use flowers or shells.

Glue the embellishments in place. Allow the items to completely dry days before the wedding so they don't fall off when guests move the book to sign it.
