One surprise during the wedding preparation process is how many wedding items there are.

Don't worry! You can rent items from the venue!

But don't worry＊

Many items that brides are busy DIYing or searching for in stores can actually be rented from the wedding venue.

In this article, we will introduce standard wedding items that venues often provide when asked.

You can look at wedding reports from wonderful senior brides and not feel down, thinking, "I can't prepare all these items."＊

Focus on the items that matter to you, rent the others from the venue, and progress through your wedding preparations smartly♡

Items Provided by the Venue① Reception Pen

Many brides DIY decor with artificial flowers or fake greenery for their reception pen.

It adds a festive atmosphere to the reception space and often impresses guests with comments like, "Even the pen is cute♡," so many brides pay close attention to this detail.

However, the venue can also provide pens!

While they may not have flowers or be colorful, they mostly offer simple and high-quality pens.

They are usually available for free, so you can rest assured that you won’t be getting anything that looks cheap＊

Items Provided by the Venue② Welcome Board Stand

The welcome board, which is the star of the welcome space. To display the welcome board, you need an item to hold it up, like an easel.

Some brides undertake large DIY projects using driftwood or pallets...

But generally, the venue has easels for standing the welcome board.

Before starting your DIY project for the welcome board, it is recommended to ask your planner about the size of the board that can be placed on the easel.

Items Provided by the Venue③ Basket

A larger basket that is useful for holding place cards at the reception or for mini gifts during send-offs.

If you try to buy one yourself, it can be somewhat pricey.

If you don’t plan to use it as home decor after the wedding, it’s worth checking with the venue first to see if they rent them out＊

There seem to be both free and paid options, but either way, it should be cheaper than purchasing one yourself.

Items Provided by the Venue④ Drink Menu

The drink menu, which is placed on guest tables. Many brides make these paper items themselves, but most venues have original drink menus available as part of their packages＊

The design is simple and won't interfere with your table decor, so it's worth taking a look at what they have♩

If you find the venue’s options unsatisfactory, you can always opt to DIY it instead.

Items Provided by the Venue⑤ Table Numbers

Some venues also provide table numbers indicating the guest table's number. The designs vary by venue, but some venues offer stylish table numbers that you won’t need to DIY!

Preparing table numbers for each table can be quite the task.

If you can borrow table numbers that match your vision, that’s even better♡

Items Provided by the Venue⑥ Large Spoon

The first bite of the wedding cake at the reception. It’s customary for the bride to use a regular spoon while the groom gets a big spoon to take a big bite with “Ah~”♡

While you may not need a massive spoon, the venue often has small shovel-sized spoons available♡

Unless you have a strong desire for a huge spoon for a surprise, using the venue's spoon can make preparations easier and less of a hassle＊
