Let's Decorate with Welcome Dolls ♡

On the wedding day, welcome dolls greet guests in place of the couple at the ceremony and reception venues. Whether displayed alongside the welcome board or at the reception desk, it would be wonderful to showcase an exceptionally cute doll ♡

Plush Toys of Popular Characters ♡

A classic and popular choice for welcome dolls is to display plush toys of your favorite characters in the welcome space, adding a personal touch. *

Dress them up in DIY outfits that match your wedding dress and tuxedo - just imagine how adorable they'd look in coordinated outfits ♩

So, which characters are popular as welcome dolls? Let’s take a look at some cute and trendy options by character type. *

Welcome Doll 1: Duffy & ShellieMay

Among soon-to-be brides, Duffy & ShellieMay are incredibly popular! Their fluffiness is irresistible ♡

While they're cute without clothing, Duffy in a tuxedo and ShellieMay in a wedding dress are just too adorable ♡

Seeing Duffy and ShellieMay holding hands brings back memories of dating at DisneySea, making you a little emotional on your wedding day. I want to stay in love with my husband forever ♡

Welcome Doll 2: Mickey & Minnie

While Duffy and ShellieMay are popular, you can’t forget about the iconic Disney characters Mickey and Minnie ♡ Let’s greet guests with this superstar couple known to people of all ages worldwide ♩

I want to play Disney music that matches the welcome dolls at the venue ♩ It will definitely create a dreamy atmosphere that is quintessentially Walt Disney ♡

Welcome Doll 3: Totoro

One of Japan's representative anime characters, Totoro, makes a lovely welcome doll ♡ Not only Disney but Studio Ghibli characters are also very popular ♩

The small Totoro wearing a veil is perfectly suited for the bride’s role ♡ The head accessory made of pearls is so cute! *

I want to focus on the display space for placing plush toys too. By laying down a grass mat and placing acorns or leaves, you enhance the Totoro vibe even more ♡

Welcome Doll 4: Moomin

For those wanting a Nordic-style wedding, Moomin plush toys are just perfect ♡ After the wedding, you'd want to keep displaying their cuteness in your new home ♩

It might be nice to place them alongside the couple’s initials object in the welcome space ♡ The bride and groom's cheerful and laid-back personalities really shine through ✩

Welcome Doll 5: Miffy

The adorable sight of Miffy and Daniel, both dressed up, sitting cozily on a chair is heartwarming ♡ Displaying such cute welcome dolls guarantees a relaxed atmosphere at the venue ♩

While tuxedo and wedding dress are great, Miffy in a white kimono and hakama is also adorable ♡ Perfect for a traditional Japanese wedding ♩ With the white rabbit, Miffy’s perfectly white face embodies a bride’s charm ♡

Welcome Doll 6: Rilakkuma

Among the popular plush toys that you can’t overlook are Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma, both of whom have a relaxing atmosphere that draws you in. Their round eyes make your heart flutter ♡

When you step away for outfit changes, having them sit at the main table in place of the couple will surely warm the entire venue ♡ Preparing a special seating area for plush toys could be a nice touch too ♩

If you're having a traditional wedding, you'd want your wedding doll to match too! The hakama and red bridal kimono are so stunning, you can hardly believe they are handmade ♡

Welcome Doll 7: TED

TED 2 is also very popular, and the welcome doll from TED that has recently become a hot topic is adorably laid-back ♡ Its perplexed expression gives off an indescribably quirky vibe. This face is absolutely lovable!

I want to make outfits that match the groom and bride’s clothes and dress them accordingly ♩ If they look at you like this, you’ll just want to hug and snuggle them ♡

Many More Options ♡

Of course, you can choose any plush toy as a welcome doll! Sylvanian Families that you played with as a child are both adorable and nostalgic ♡

A welcome doll of Shokupanman and Dokin-chan would be unique and delightful ♡ (Congratulations, Dokin-chan, on having your dream come true!) It’s likely that this couple truly loves each other ♡ Welcome dolls that hint at the couple’s relationship are just wonderful ♡
