Thoughtful Considerations for Guests: A Guide to Presenting and Wrapping Alcohol Hand Gel

New Essential Item: Alcohol Gel

Among the items that I always keep in my bag daily, such as handkerchiefs, tissues, and hand creams, the new addition is [alcohol hand gel].

Carrying it has become a norm for COVID-19 infection prevention.

Many brides are increasingly incorporating alcohol gel as a mini gift or escort item for weddings.

In post-COVID weddings, it is essential to take proper infection prevention measures, and giving alcohol gel to guests expresses extra consideration.

This article will introduce how to incorporate alcohol hand gel into weddings and how to wrap it cutely.

If you are a bride currently preparing for your wedding and are thinking about what you can do for COVID-19 prevention and to care for your guests, this will be helpful!

Incorporating Alcohol Hand Gel: ① As a Welcome Item

The first idea I would like to introduce is distributing alcohol gel to guests as a welcome item.

There are several ways to distribute it:

☑ Hand it out at the reception

☑ Place it at the welcome space

☑ Place it at guest tables

By incorporating it as a welcome item, you can immediately convey your feelings of "thank you for attending during these tough times."

By preparing a complete set of COVID-19 prevention goods, the consideration of the bride and groom is conveyed.

Incorporating Alcohol Hand Gel: ② As an Escort Item

An idea for incorporating alcohol gel as an escort item.

Escort items serve the role of informing guests of their table numbers, much like a seating chart.

It is common to line them up in the welcome space, and guests pick up the escort items with their names to head to the venue.

If alcohol gel is used as an escort item, guests can use it before the meal at the reception.

This bride cut cards purchased from Shimojima to match the size of the alcohol gel and glued them with tape.

The simple label is stylish, isn’t it?

Incorporating Alcohol Hand Gel: ③ As a Mini Gift

The idea of giving alcohol gel as a mini gift.

Alcohol gel is a daily essential and consumable, making it perfect for mini gifts.

Wrapping it cute for the wedding is quite popular.

You could also set it up as a [gift seating card] that doubles as a mini gift and place it on the guest tables.

Depending on the venue, some may not allow handing out mini gifts during send-off, so this style of gift seating card would be suitable in that case.

I have introduced ways to incorporate alcohol gel into weddings.

Next, let's take a look at wrapping ideas from senior brides ♩
