"Bag for Carrying Home Your Gifts! Prepare a 'Hikitaku Bag' for Convenient Delivery of Wedding Favors"

The Delivery of Gifts is Becoming Mainstream*

At weddings, it was common to have large paper bags with gifts placed on the chairs at the banquet venue, which guests would take home individually...

Recently, the style known as "gift delivery" (commonly called "Hikita ku") has also become popular.

- Gifts can be directly delivered to guests' homes on the day of the wedding or the following day.

- There is no need for guests to carry heavy gifts home, reducing their burden on the way back.

- Gifts can be customized and separated for each guest (without them noticing the difference).

Due to these appealing points, many couples now discuss whether to opt for "gift delivery" when choosing their gifts.

But, there’s one problem...!!

While gift delivery has many benefits, one concern is...

That is, "there are no paper bags for taking things home!"

You might think, "Wait? What do I need to take home??" but, for example, there are petite gifts and paper items.

Previously, each guest would have a bag ready with their gifts, and they would gather paper items and petite gifts in there to take home.

This also included prizes received from games.

Particularly for men, as they often don't bring bags, it was common to put all their belongings, including what they received that day, into that large paper bag and leave with it in one hand.

But.

In the case of gift delivery, that large paper bag isn’t provided, so all these separate paper items like seating charts, place cards, petite gifts, as well as personal items like wallets, smartphones, transit passes, handkerchiefs, and makeup pouches can overflow in both hands!

This creates a very inconvenient situation for guests...!!

That large gift bag from the venue was something that was just naturally there, and I never really thought it was particularly convenient, but...

Without it, it turns out to be unexpectedly troublesome and was actually quite useful?

So, what should we do??

As a solution, brides are preparing items.

That item is called the "Hikita ku Bag"**

This is a compact paper bag, not as large as the banquet venue gift bags, prepared for each guest (some brides DIY it!), which they can use to hold the paper items, petite gifts, and other assorted things.

The Hikita ku Bags can be placed at guests' seats or handed out at the reception with petite gifts.

It's great to have!

So thoughtful!

It's a hospitality mini-bag that guests will appreciate!**

What kind of Hikita ku Bags are they preparing??

①

Here is a Hikita ku Bag from Seria, sold for 100 yen for a pack of three. Just thread a thank-you tag onto the handle to complete it♩

②

Using a patterned paper bag for the Hikita ku Bag can be stylish and fun♩

I heard this was purchased from Shimojima. (Shimojima has a wide variety of paper bags!)

③

While Hikita ku Bags are often made of paper, using cotton tote bags is also popular.* It’s nice that they can be reused after the ceremony.

Choosing a bag with depth will provide more space and likely be appreciated even more.

Let's Prepare Hikita ku Bags*

The only troublesome point of gift delivery—there being no paper bags to take home paper items or petite gifts on the day—can be resolved by preparing **Hikita ku Bags**.

Brides opting for gift delivery should also prepare Hikita ku Bags to be considerate♩
