'Welcome Drink' is the first hospitality served ♡

The welcome drink is a drink served to guests who come to the wedding during the waiting time in places like the waiting space until the ceremony starts＊

Most of the time, the welcome drink is a drink predetermined by the venue. If you only serve juice like you always drink, it can feel a bit lonely＊ The glasses are also provided by the venue, but they don't look very stylish, so I want to add more originality and delight the guests! ♡
