Surprisingly Common Patterns: How to Hand Out Mask Cases at Weddings?

How should I hand out mask cases?

Recently, when I go to good restaurants or cafes, they almost always prepare a mask case for me.

When I'm seated and they hand me the menu along with a "Please feel free to use this," mask case, I feel happy and realize, "Ah, I'm in a nice place right now ♡."

So, it’s kind of nice to prepare mask cases for guests at a wedding too.

✅ Paper ones

(Less than 100 yen each. Cheap, but disposable)

✅ Plastic ones

(200 to 300 yen each. More expensive than paper, but reusable and some are antibacterial)

There are various options available.

Marry also sells mask cases with a simple design that has received great reviews ♡

In this article, I thought about "how to hand out mask cases at a wedding."

① Place them on the table

The first idea that comes to mind is to have them placed on the tables at the reception venue.

There isn't a timing to distribute them before the ceremony, and if guests are divided between those attending the ceremony and those only attending the reception, distributing them before the ceremony might complicate things.

During the ceremony, masks are only removed when taking group photos, so the mask cases will be needed when the meal starts and everyone removes their masks simultaneously for an extended period.

Leaving them on the table could lead to confusion about whose is whose, which would be unsanitary, and cramming them into bags or favor bags is not ideal either... so the mask cases will shine on guest tables ♡

Choosing a design that doesn’t interfere with the table decor of flowers and paper items is reassuring ♡

(That’s why marry’s mask cases are designed simply.)

A recommended way is to use them as place cards ♡

Printing guests' names on transparent stickers and affixing them, or asking a calligrapher to write their names can save on place card costs and do double duty.

However, if they are just placed on the table, some guests might not realize at a glance that they are mask cases, so attaching a note saying, "We've prepared mask cases, please use them," is kind.

(It might be good for the MC to announce it too!)

② Hand them out at the reception desk

Handing them out at the reception desk along with the seating chart allows for the explanation, "This is a mask case," to be given to each individual, which is a plus.

③ Hand them out by the bride and groom during greeting time ♡

There’s a style of entrance for the bride and groom's reception called "greeting."

The couple (and sometimes parents) stand at the entrance of the reception venue to welcome the arriving guests, which has been a traditional style for a long time.

It's a wonderful time to look each guest in the eye and express gratitude right from the start.

It might be nice to hand out the mask cases at this time too ♡

It’s like being the first to hand out a small gift at the end of the reception.

There are various ways to distribute them ♡

Weddings are fun because you can decide everything about them, like, "What should I do?" and "What arrangements should I make?"

Even for a single item like a mask case, you can choose what material to use and what design to go for... and you can select the way to distribute them that feels right for you.

While they became necessary due to the impact of COVID-19...

I hope you can view it positively, as an opportunity to say, "Which one should I choose? ♡" and "What should I do? ♡," and enjoy making the decision... that’s what I wish for when creating marry’s mask cases.
