Severe Heat Wave: Guests Will Love Receiving Budget-Friendly Cooling Packs!

This Summer is Too Hot! I'm Worried About the Guests Coming in This Heat...

The intense heat wave has continued to the point where the Japan Meteorological Agency has declared it a "disaster."

Some cities have recorded temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, and this last summer of the Heisei era looks set to be a historically hot one.

For the time being, similar heat is expected to persist over a wide area from western Japan to eastern Japan...

What concerns brides the most is the wellbeing of the guests attending the wedding in this heat.

The guests attending the wedding will not be dressed in cool and breezy outfits, but in dresses and suits.

Even a T-shirt and shorts feel hot, so dressing up properly can be quite a challenge...!

Some guests have even suffered from heatstroke and fallen ill due to the extreme heat.

While there's nothing we can do about the blazing sun, we want to make every effort possible to ensure guests can enjoy the day comfortably.

A Sudden Coolness ♡ Handing Out Ice Packs to Guests is a Great Idea!

One of the ways we can help alleviate the heat for guests this summer is by providing frozen ice packs.

While handing out cold towels is a common gesture of hospitality at summer weddings, ice packs stay cold for longer periods, allowing guests to stave off the heat for a bit more.

Ice packs may seem to evoke images of packed lunches and can give off a casual vibe, but...

In fact, stylish ice packs are becoming increasingly popular this year ♡

Here are affordable and cute ice packs that can be given to all guests ♩

Affordable Ice Packs Available at Store ① Daiso

The first store I'd like to introduce is the 100-yen shop, Daiso. Ice packs featuring citrus fruit motifs are fresh and cheerful in appearance ♡

At 100 yen each, supplying 80 guests would cost less than 10,000 yen.

There are also colorful ice packs designed like ice cream. They could make for adorable photos as props, not just as ice packs.

Affordable Ice Packs Available at Store ② Seria

At Seria, another 100-yen shop, there is also a wide variety of stylishly designed ice packs.

An ice pack decorated with a bus is sure to delight younger guests!

This one features a natural design inspired by breakfast.

The handwritten font gives it a relaxed and cute touch♡

There are also ice packs inspired by cats! These cute kitties are sure to bring smiles to guests.

Perfect for a couple who loves cats.

This one is designed to look like cans and jars of seasoning, evoking images of a stylish kitchen overseas.

Affordable Ice Packs Available at Store ③ Can Do

Next, Can Do is popular among brides for its many chic 100-yen items.

Can Do sells ice packs designed with images of cold drinks and ice cream.

Refreshing blue and green ice packs look very cooling. It's great that there are so many different designs!

Placing them on the table or in a basket could create a cute display. They could also serve as escort cards.

Affordable Ice Packs Available at Store ④ Natural Kitchen

Finally, I’d like to introduce Natural Kitchen, where you can find natural goods for 100 yen.

The soft illustrations are soothing to look at.

Cute animal motifs like penguins and polar bears are also available.

Thank You for Coming in This Heat!

With this summer being disaster-level hot, both brides in wedding dresses and grooms in tuxedos bear a significant burden, but...

We are endlessly grateful to the guests who choose to attend the wedding.

Offering ice packs to help ensure that our loved ones can enjoy their time comfortably is a wonderful gesture of hospitality ♡

Let's make sure we all survive this extreme heat together without succumbing to heatstroke!
