"Unique Items for Your First Bite: Beyond Ordinary Spoons and Forks"

2016.01.30 published

A Must-Have "First Bite" at the Reception ♡

The first bite is a performance where the newlyweds feed each other the first slice of cake after cutting it. The bite from the groom to the bride symbolizes, "I will never let you go hungry for life," while the bite from the bride to the groom signifies, "I will always make delicious food for you."＊

Spoons and forks are so ordinary! Let’s use something different to feed each other ♩

Recently, there has been a surge in couples performing unique first bites using unconventional items instead of spoons ♩ Let’s introduce some of these items used as substitutes for spoons! ♡

Item 1: Big Spoon ♡

While a small, regular spoon is fine, using a big spoon for the performance is quite popular! Let’s scoop a small bite of cake on the tip of the spoon and feed it to your husband ♡

Not only is it a fun performance, but seeing the bride holding the big spoon with care and determination is also incredibly cute ♡

Item 2: Shovel ♡

Following the big spoon, a popular choice is using a shovel for the first bite. A toy shovel that is not too big and not too small is recommended ♩

It can be surprisingly challenging to feed with a shovel without getting too messy, but give it your best effort! ♡

Item 4: Spatula ♡

How about using a spatula that you'd use for cooking? You can buy cute ones from100 yen shops or stores like Three Coins and customize them to your liking ♩

Item 5: Rice Paddle ♡

Just like chopsticks, a rice paddle is an item you'd want to use at a traditional wedding. There are also larger rice paddles available that express wishes for a harmonious marriage, so be sure to check those out ♩

Item 6: Okonomiyaki Spatula ♡

Newlyweds from Kansai might consider using an okonomiyaki spatula for their first bite! It would be great to have matching spatulas for both of you ♩

Item 7: Fishing Rod ♡

Using a toy fishing rod for the first bite is sure to get the venue excited ♡ Once you bait it with cake, it seems like you've caught your husband instead of a fish!

As the bride is hooked, make sure to eat the cake cleanly ♩

Item 8: Bat ♡

For couples who played baseball in their school days or have a hobby related to baseball, using a bat in the performance comes highly recommended ♩
