Wedding Gift Classic: Starbucks Cards ♡

The "Starbucks Card," which can be purchased at the world's most famous coffee shop, Starbucks, is a classic gift that never goes out of style.＊

It's a popular gift at weddings because it can be given casually to anyone, regardless of age or gender, and can be used by the recipient whenever they want.♡

Plus, the variety of seasonal and regional designs that are stylish adds to its charm.＊

What is the right amount to charge?

The very convenient Starbucks Card, which is perfect for gifts.＊

However, I often hear brides say, "I don't know how much to charge it with."

Indeed, the initial charge amount of a Starbucks Card is something you decide yourself, and it's clear to the recipient what that amount is.

While you don’t want to be seen as stingy, if the amount is too high, it might feel burdensome,

Plus, they might not go to Starbucks that often, and it can be a bit of a dilemma...

So this time, I’ll explain the ideal charge amounts for Starbucks Cards based on different gifting scenarios.＊

Wedding Gift Amount [3,000 yen - 5,000 yen]

The average range for wedding gifts is around 10,000 yen to a maximum of 20,000 yen.＊

For a Starbucks Card, the ideal charge amount would be around [3,000 yen - 5,000 yen].

It's best to adjust this according to the value of any other gifts you're giving along with it.♡

Thank You for Reception Help [3,000 yen - 4,000 yen]

For guests who helped with reception duties on the wedding day, it’s recommended to charge around [3,000 yen - 4,000 yen].＊

Since they arrive earlier than other guests and stand the entire time during the reception,

it’s a good idea to charge more to express your gratitude.♩

Thank You for Performances [1,500 yen - 3,000 yen]

For guests who performed at the reception, gifting them a Starbucks Card with a charge of [1,500 yen - 3,000 yen] seems ideal.＊

Especially for those who took on a leadership role and coordinated with the bride, groom, and planner, charging a bit more would be great.

Thank You for Friend Speeches [3,000 yen]

The charge amount for guests who gave speeches is best set at around [3,000 yen].＊

If you overcharge, it may actually make them feel awkward, so aim for a price that they can easily accept.

Secondary Party Prizes [2,000 yen - 3,000 yen]

Many brides likely prepare Starbucks Cards as prizes for winners of games at the secondary party.

In that case, a charge of around [2,000 yen - 3,000 yen] is recommended.＊

Of course, if you're assigning ranks like first, second, and third prizes, adjust the amounts accordingly.♩
