What to Do in the Welcome Space?

The "Welcome Space" where guests wait until the ceremony begins at the wedding.

The Welcome Space is the first area that guests enter at the wedding, heightening the excitement until the ceremony starts ♩

This Welcome Space is not just for guests to wait; there are various ways to utilize it＊

This time, we will introduce ways to utilize the Welcome Space＊

Hospitality in the Welcome Space ① Decorate with Welcome Items

A classic idea is to decorate the Welcome Space with "welcome items" such as welcome bears and welcome boards＊

Welcome guests with cute and stylish items♩

Creating a space packed with the couple's favorite things is also recommended＊

It would be lovely to fill it with original items that reflect your personalities♡

Hospitality in the Welcome Space ③ Create a Photo Booth

By providing items like sofas and large frames, the photo booth can become a vibrant and beautiful area◎

It would be helpful to coordinate it in a way that clearly indicates it is a photo booth so that guests can easily spot it＊

Hospitality in the Welcome Space ④ Receive Messages from Guests

Recently, it has become popular to receive messages from guests instead of a guest book＊

If guests write messages on small heart-shaped "heart drops," it can become a lovely piece of home decor♡

Another nice idea is to have guests take Polaroid photos and leave messages♩

It’s recommended to prepare a board for attaching Polaroids where you both take a photo together beforehand and write a message for guests＊

Hospitality in the Welcome Space ⑤ Prepare for Reception Productions

The Welcome Space can also be used to prepare for wedding reception productions♩

A classic choice is a color quiz about the bride's dress＊ Guests vote on the color of the bride's dress, and winners are announced at the reception◎

Another wonderful idea is to have guests write letters to their future selves and the couple, to be sealed in a "wedding box" to be opened years later＊

It’s a delightful surprise to receive it at home after some time＊

Hospitality in the Welcome Space ⑥ Serve Drinks & Food

Finally, let’s introduce serving welcome drinks and foods＊

After arriving at the wedding venue, guests might not drink or eat anything until the reception begins.

Therefore, having welcome drinks available during the wait is very considerate◎

Having easy-to-eat skewers would be a nice touch too＊

Utilize the Welcome Space to Greet Your Guests♩

We have introduced ways to utilize the Welcome Space＊

The time guests spend in the Welcome Space is about 10 to 40 minutes. If you do all the productions, guests may not have time to settle down, so it’s recommended to pick 2 to 3 items from this list to implement◎

Let’s make the most of the Welcome Space to warmly greet your guests♩
