"An Overseas Innovation: A Stunning Idea of Using Welcome Drinks as Escort Cards"

Welcome Drinks as Hospitality*
"I want my guests to have a comfortable time, even if just a little."
From that sentiment, we prepare welcome drinks in the waiting area and welcome space with a spirit of hospitality*
However, when I asked a friend who has worked part-time at a wedding venue,
it turns out that welcome drinks usually end up going untouched.
In other words, there are quite a few guests who don't drink them!
Why?
The reason is that many people are too modest to go get a welcome drink...!
If waiters serve them, or if there's a long line at the counter, I think everyone will casually come over.
But when no one is around, there's a kind of atmosphere that makes it feel "a bit awkward to go get one."
(Is this a common thing among Japanese people?)
Moreover, some guests may be so engrossed in conversation that they might not even know there are welcome drinks available.
But still, that’s disappointing and wasteful, especially since they were prepared for everyone...!
This Problem Can Be Solved Like This!
The issue of guests not drinking welcome drinks can be solved with a certain idea from overseas weddings*
That is to treat the welcome drink like an escort card!
Just like in the photo, by writing the guest's name and table number on the glass,
and ensuring that everyone who has checked in picks up their own glass,
- Everyone can drink without feeling hesitant and quench their thirst
- You can guide them to their table directly
This creates the charm of a two-for-one benefit♡
It’s an incredible idea that makes everyone happy!
Welcome Drinks as Escort Cards Might Work♡
An idea I found in overseas weddings, treating welcome drinks as escort cards*
In Japan, where many people might feel "I want to drink, but it's hard to go get one...," this should be a welcomed hospitality♡
Plus, being able to instantly know your table number is great, and they look cute too!*
Please do give it a try!
