What Gifts Should You Choose as "Good Luck" Items for Your Guests?
As for gifts,
☑ The main gift (such as tableware or catalog gifts)
☑ Sweets
☑ Good luck items
is a standard three-item set.
The main gift is a token of appreciation for the monetary gift received.
Sweets are souvenirs for the families of the guests who attended the wedding.
The theme of this article is good luck items, which are items meant to bring good fortune. The practice of giving three items is also intended to avoid giving an even number.
Traditional Good Luck Items: Kombu and Bonito Flakes, but...
Good luck items are given with the intention of bringing good fortune.
Kombu is associated with "joy," and bonito flakes are linked to "winning," making them traditional choices...
However, some brides wonder, "Will guests actually use bonito flakes and kombu?"
If many of your guests live alone or are men who don't cook, it's true that there will be fewer opportunities for them to use kombu and bonito flakes.
Therefore, this time, we will introduce recommended good luck items that anyone would be happy to receive, beyond the traditional choices.*
Even items that don’t carry auspicious words will surely be appreciated if you choose them with your guests in mind.♡
