I Want to Create a Friendly Atmosphere in the Family Waiting Room!

On the wedding day, the family waiting room is where both families gather.

Before the ceremony, there will be a family introduction, providing an opportunity for interaction among relatives such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Even if the parents and siblings of both families have met before, meeting the other relatives for the first time will be on the wedding day.

Since everyone will likely feel a bit nervous, we want to create a friendly atmosphere where everyone can relax and enjoy themselves.

Let's Prepare Memorable Items for the Family Waiting Room ♡

One recommendation is to prepare "items with memories of the bride and groom" in the family waiting room.

Relatives tend to gather early, which can lead to a waiting time of over an hour before the ceremony.

Even among relatives, engaging in free conversation for that long can be challenging.

Having items like a photo album that can spark conversations and evoke memories will surely help create a wonderful time.

It also offers the lovely aspect of learning more about each other's backgrounds and families, deepening the connection between the two families.

Here are some specific ideas for memorable items you can prepare ♡

Item You Want to Place in the Family Waiting Room ① Pre-Wedding Album

If you have a pre-wedding photoshoot, prepare an album with those photos.

Although you can see pre-wedding photos on the welcome board or profile book, relatives would definitely want to see more!

"This photo turned out great!"

"That's such a classic expression for you, [Name]!"

This is sure to spark great conversations! ♡

Item You Want to Place in the Family Waiting Room ② Family Album

It's also a good idea to have a family album on display.

The history of a family is also the history of a clan.

Not only the couple's childhood photos but also family members like parents and grandparents in the family album can quickly make time fly once you start looking through it.

I hope they can share nostalgic memories and engage in discussions about the past! ♡

Item You Want to Place in the Family Waiting Room ➂ Birthday Newspaper

Did you know about the "birthday newspaper"?

A birthday newspaper is the newspaper from the day the bride and groom were born.

It shows what news stories were making headlines on their birth date and what the times were like.

You can imagine nostalgic conversations like, "Speaking of which, this happened when [Name] was born."

The birthday newspaper can be printed out at FamilyMart or Lawson's multi-copy machines!

It's surprising that you can get this at a convenience store…!

It costs 500 yen for one side and 800 yen for both sides.

Item You Want to Place in the Family Waiting Room ④ Favorite Picture Books

Placing a beloved picture book that you used to read as a child is a lovely idea.

Especially for the parents, this could evoke a sense of nostalgia.

(If I found a beloved picture book at my child's wedding, I might just cry!)

This item will warm everyone's hearts.

Item You Want to Place in the Family Waiting Room ⑤ Graduation Album

Elementary, middle, and high school graduation albums can also serve as conversation starters.

If relatives attended the same school, they might reminisce about teachers or clubs they were part of.

If the bride and groom are from the same hometown, they may even discover mutual acquaintances.

The couple might feel a bit shy, but for the relatives, it’s a heartwarming and enjoyable sight.

Item You Want to Place in the Family Waiting Room ⑥ Childhood Notebooks

Some bride and groom have displayed childhood notebooks that were stored at their homes in the family waiting room!

☑ Free notebooks

☑ Study notebooks

☑ Summer vacation diaries

☑ School study notebooks

etc. Seeing childish illustrations and handwriting followed by seeing the couple in tuxedos and dresses will surely bring deep emotions!

Other Personalized Items ♡

We’ve introduced items you may want to prepare for the family waiting room.

Additionally, some have brought along their college thesis or portfolios from job hunting.

With plenty of items, the topics of conversation will never run dry! ♡

Since the bride and groom won’t be in the family waiting room outside of the family introduction time, they won’t know what the atmosphere will be like on the day.

That’s why it’s reassuring to have the suggested items prepared so that everyone can enjoy themselves! ♩
