It's Tough for Parents to Attend Weddings!
For parents with small children, going to a wedding can be quite a challenge.
They have to leave their kids with their partner, parents, daycare, or a babysitter, which disrupts their usual routines.
Despite this, it’s incredibly gracious that they are willing to celebrate their marriage and attend the wedding. We can't thank them enough.
Let's Give a Souvenir to the Child Who Stayed Home♡
There was a lovely bride who made a thoughtful gesture for the busy parents who managed to come and for the children who stayed home and behaved well♡
It’s the considerate gesture of "giving a souvenir to the child who stayed home"♡
While it’s common to give gifts to the child guests attending the wedding, providing a souvenir for the child who is staying at home is a wonderful way to show hospitality♡
What Souvenir Should You Give?
Choose gifts that are appropriate for the child's gender and age.
Popular gifts for children include sweets and bibs, but bibs are typically needed only until about one year old. Additionally, some families might avoid giving sweets until the child is around six, so caution is advised.
Toys with clear age recommendations are a safe choice, as you can ensure they are suitable for the child's age.
A reasonable price point for gifts is around 1,000 to 3,000 yen—something that isn’t too bulky or overwhelming.
A Thoughtful Gesture That Will Definitely Be Appreciated♡
Balancing child care while making arrangements to attend a wedding can be mentally and physically taxing for parents.
In reality, they might be coming in with a lot of effort while feeling worn out.
At such times, if you show your appreciation by giving a souvenir for their child as a gesture saying, "Thank you for prioritizing our wedding today and leaving your adorable child behind!”...
I might be moved to tears by such kindness.
Moreover, the child who might have felt lonely, thinking "I want to see Mommy and Daddy! I want to play with them!" could think, if they receive a souvenir, "Wow! I get a gift too at the wedding?! It’s a nice place! Please go again!"
I believe giving a souvenir to the child who stayed home is a wonderful gesture of hospitality♡
