| Where to order them in the DC area? |

| I don’t know about the DC area, but most big Hawaii florists will ship lei (with dry ice) to the Mainland. Watanabe Floral and Beretania Florist are very popular. |

Not OP but no, it’s a Hawaiian thing. My best guess is that the family is from Hawaii and wants to include an element of cultural significance in a grad ceremony. |

but you actually don't know and answered for someone else? Why? |

| Lei. One lei. Two lei. No s. |

I know that it’s not a DC thing, which is the question I was answering. I made it very clear that the rest of my answer was speculation. |

| It's a thing at my DC's college. Not everyone does it though. The college bookstore allows orders during graduation season. Have you checked with the school OP? |

having culture isn't cringe. |

You're not Hawaiian, and it's cringe to pretend you are. |

How do you know OP isn’t Hawaiian? |

| Because Hawaiians know it's lei (plural) |

I hope so. It would really bad if OP just culturally appropriated leis. The pictures would age badly and you could never show them |
