Maui welcome party ideas

Hi all,

We are having a destination wedding near Lahaina/Kaanapali next year. My guest list went from 30 guests to 90 guests (thanks to my mom) and I’m trying to plan ahead with wedding events including a welcome dinner which has become extremely stressful because of budget constraints. 

My mom originally wanted everyone to go to our rehearsal dinner (acting as a welcome party) but I really wouldn’t prefer this as this is going to be very expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions on places or things to do that are maybe more under $50 pp. We are paying for our entire wedding ourselves with no help from family so we are having trouble balancing budget with guest experiences and making everyone happy. 

We thought of doing a sunset cocktail cruise but I don’t think the catamaran in Lahaina will be ideal as most of our guests will be older. We also thought about Old Lahaina Luau but only paying for our bridal party and immediate family to act as a rehearsal dinner but would it be rude to invite other guests if they wanted to pay? 

Thanks all in advanced!
