Kailua Kona also known simply as Kona, has a history that looms much larger than its size would indicate. Nestled at the bottom of the Hualalai Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii, this area was considered the premier place to live in ancient times due to the excellent weather and water. It is situated in the north west of the island.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is one of the most unique. You can actually drive around the crater of an active volcano, taste the sulphur in the air, and feel the hot steam rising from fissures around you. In the evenings, the unearthly glow of molten lava is visible through cracks in the earth. The activity of the volcano is not predictable, but it is carefully monitored.

British explorer Captain James Cook first spotted Hawaii off the coast of Kona. It is also where King Kamehameha the Great died and where the ancient taboo system was discarded.

Arced around its harbour, this town is the main centre on the Kona coast, though many of the main Kona hotels are many miles north of the town, occupying various beaches.

The town is the departure point for snorkelling excursions, is the site of a royal palace and serves as a regional shopping area.

Most people consider Kona to be the centre of the visitor industry on the Big Island. The town has an intoxicating aroma, thanks in part to the Kona Coasts world famous Kona coffee.

The main street, Alii Drive, runs along the oceanfront through the heart of the city from Kailua Pier to the Kuamoo Battlefield, where many lives were lost in fighting over the value of the kapu system. The charming town mixes numerous historical sites with modern tourist attractions, restaurants, shops and hotels.

Today, Kona is one of the worlds great sports fishing centres and home to the annual Iron man Triathlon. The King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel has been the headquarters of the Iron man Triathlon since 1988. The 460 room hotel fronts the only white sandy beach in Kona. The full service hotel features three restaurants, swimming pool with a whirlpool spa and sauna, comprehensive meeting and banquet facilities, a Hawaiian activity centre, beauty salon and the only air conditioned shopping mall in Kona.

Tourists have discovered the uniqueness of Kona and made it a popular destination. Ask any town resident and you will learn how deeply the people love their town.For example go up the mountains or down to the sea. Enjoy the view or play till the sun goes down, as well as cruising the beach road to Kona town.

Planning a wedding and want a unique wedding favor to send home with your guests? Coffee wedding favors are a very popular and unique item that will be used with joy. Don’t get something that will just sit on a shelf and collect dust or worse yet get put in the back closet and your guests home. By giving a wedding coffee favor you can ensure that you are giving your guests something they will use. Not only will they enjoy using the gift they will enjoy thinking about the wonderful memories and fun times they had at the wedding as they sip their wonderful full bodied flavorful coffee.
Well, if you are already sold on coffee wedding favors then you will want to read through this article for some easy ideas to really make unique and outstanding wedding favors.
Coffee- This is the obvious place to start as it will be the central theme to your wedding favor. You should try and plan the theme of the wedding first and then select a coffee that goes along with that theme. For example an easy one would be if you are getting married in Maui or even having a Hawaiian theme wedding you will want to use Kona Coffee in your wedding favor basket. If you have not yet selected a theme for the wedding another thing you can do is look for a local coffee roaster and purchase from them. This will give you guests a little taste of the local area and it supports your local businesses also. Of course if neither of these easily fit into your wedding and still do not strike an idea for you a third option would be to choose your own favorite flavor of coffee. Do you love a certain blend at your local coffee shop or maybe something fancy from Starbucks? Well, choose this as your coffee. As forethought you might want to purchase both regular caffeinated coffee and some decaffeinated.
Next you will want to add some personal touches and make the coffee wedding favor really stand out. There are so many ways to do this but we will give you just a few. These are mostly just to spark ideas for you that you will hopefully use and alter or personalize to suit your own needs.
Coffee Packaging - If at all possible it is a very classy to personalize the favors. You can print a computer label or purchase from a shop that will do this for you. Putting things like the Bride and Groom’s Name, date and location of the wedding can be a nice touch. IF you are doing this yourself adding in the guests name can also be a lot of fun. To easily make a label you can look around online for free clip art and then just customize it with your own colors and writing.
Mugs - If you would like to round out the coffee wedding favor and expand from the basics a little bit more purchasing coffee mugs can be a quick and easy edition. You can easily purchase customized mugs to any color you would like. You can also add a picture easily to custom mugs and have the bride and groom smiling at everyone as they drink their coffee wedding favor.
Stir Spoons - But a large bunch of plastic spoons and drip them into melted chocolate. Then wrap these spoons with tulle and add a beautiful ribbon that matches the colors of the wedding. Now you are taking the gift from a oh! Nice to a WOW level.
Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans - Another fun addition can be a personalized bag of chocolate covered coffee beans. These can easily be purchased in bulk and then put into a tin or bag and customized with a quick label on the computer.
Chocolates - There are not many coffee drinkers in the world that would turn down a wonderful elegant chocolate in addition to their coffee. You do not need to place too many chocolates in with the coffee but a few high quality chocolates nicely wrapped with a ribbon can go a long way to add class.
Hot Chocolate - Have a lot of guests with young children coming to the wedding? If so you might want to include some fun hot chocolate with the favor and this way the children can join in on the fun also!
Teas - If you are worried about those non-coffee drinkers out there are there are always a few you can appease this crowd by placing a nice tea or some tea bags in with the gift.
Chocolate covered almonds - Chocolate covered almonds can be purchased in bulk in a wide variety of colors and finding one that matches the colors of the wedding and again making tins of them can be a fun addition to the coffee wedding favor.
