A Surprise for Guests with Upcoming Birthdays ♡
Recently, more and more newlyweds are preparing surprises for guests whose birthdays are near the wedding date*
The reason is to express gratitude for guests who take the time to celebrate with them on a weekend close to their birthday,
and of course, to say "Happy Birthday!"♡
While the main stars of the wedding might be the couple,
it could make for a more wonderful celebration if they can also celebrate guests who have something to celebrate themselves♩
But what kind of surprises can be done?
Here are some lovely ideas to prepare for guests with upcoming birthdays*
① Display a Birthday Board
First up is the idea of displaying a birthday board in the welcome area of the reception*
A message like "Happy Birthday to everyone born in ◎ month!" along with
the guests' names written on it will certainly bring joy the moment they find their name♩
② Give a Birthday Card with the Place Card
Another wonderful idea is to specially prepare a birthday card alongside the place cards at the guest tables*
This is a perfect surprise for guests who might feel embarrassed to be celebrated in front of everyone♩
③ Give a Gift During the Reception
Another great idea is to hand a present to the guests whose birthdays are near at some point during the reception♩
Something like sweets or flowers in the price range of 500 to 1,000 yen would be ideal, as it won’t make the guests feel obligated*
④ Prepare a Message Plate for the Dessert
A popular idea is to have the dessert cake served at the end of the meal with a message that says "Happy Birthday."
Depending on the venue, message plates typically cost around 500 yen each.
Guests will surely be surprised and moved if they receive such a special cake just for them*
⑤ Perform a Birthday Bites
A lovely surprise could involve the couple inviting the guest with the upcoming birthday to take the first bite of the wedding cake together with them.
This “birthday bite” instead of a “first bite” will surely get everyone around to wish, "Happy Birthday," creating an unforgettable birthday memory♩
Happy Birthday to All Guests with Upcoming Birthdays ♡
For the guests, it would be a huge surprise to have their birthday celebrated at a wedding,
and they will surely be genuinely touched and delighted♡
Why not check all the guests' birthdays in advance and shower them with a lovely surprise on the day?*
