What do you think about catalog gifts?

Choosing gifts for the reception can be quite a dilemma. The set commonly known as 'main gift, sweets, and auspicious items' includes these three, with the most important being the [main gift]. For guests, the enjoyment of a wedding is not just the time at the reception, but also the excitement of opening the gifts when they get home.

When selecting gifts, the first decision is whether to choose a "catalog gift" or a "physical item." Choosing a physical item allows you to pick something based on the recipient's taste or match it with the theme of the ceremony. So, what do you think the appeal of a catalog gift is?

The appeal of catalog gifts ① Guests can choose what they like ♡

The biggest appeal of catalog gifts is undoubtedly that "guests can choose their favorite items themselves." If you choose a physical item, there’s a risk it might not match their preferences or they may already own a similar item. It's really sad when the gift you've carefully selected doesn’t feel fresh or isn’t appreciated.

With a catalog gift, guests can select what they like from the catalog, so there’s no risk of them receiving something they don't want. *

The appeal of catalog gifts ② The time spent selecting from the catalog is also enjoyable ♡

Additionally, catalog gifts have the charm of "the time spent looking through the catalog is enjoyable." There are so many appealing items such as high-end brand cosmetics, unique gourmet foods, and lunches at long-established restaurants that it’s hard to choose!

Just flipping through the booklet filled with special items is exciting. Not only is it about the physical products, but even the time spent pondering "Which one should I choose?" can be a part of the gift experience – that’s the essence of catalog gifts!

The appeal of catalog gifts ③ Easy to take home on the day of the event!

Moreover, another reason why catalog gifts are chosen is that receiving physical items at the venue can feel like 'extra baggage.' Heavy items like dishes, as well as bulky items like towels, are really difficult to carry home! Especially for guests coming from afar, it feels a bit apologetic to have them board the bullet train with heavy luggage.

Furthermore, after the wedding, there are after-parties waiting. Moving around in heels with a heavy gift is quite troublesome. Many couples choose catalog gifts for the convenience of their guests.

The appeal of catalog gifts ④ No worries about gift differentiation ♡

It's common to differentiate the gifts given to guests at weddings based on the recipient. For example, the amount given usually differs between female friends and seniors at work, so both the item and its price should also vary.

However, differentiating gifts based on physical items can lead to size discrepancies. If a small cosmetic set is for a female friend and a large dish set is for a company senior, using the same gift bag could look mismatched and unstable.

Changing the size of the gift bags according to the guest can make it obvious that "the contents are different," which can be uncomfortable…

But with catalog gifts, the appearance is exactly the same, so you don’t need to worry at all. The sizes of the bags fit perfectly, and guests don’t have to worry unnecessarily about each other, making it comfortable for everyone.

While catalog gifts have many advantages, brides may find themselves unsure about which brand of catalog gift is good, as there are many options available. For those brides, I would like to introduce some recommended catalog gift stores.

For catalog gifts, Moage is recommended ♡

Have you heard of a catalog gift company called [Moage]? Moage is a bridal-specific catalog gift from the long-established gift company "Shaddy."

The brand name [Moage] reads as "egaoM" backward. "Egao" means smile, and "M" stands for More (more). This means “more smiles,” and it’s a bridal gift brand with the concept of wanting to make weddings “more cheerful.”

Moage's catalog gifts are filled with features that make the special day of a wedding “more cheerful.” Let me introduce some of the charms of Moage's catalog gifts!

More smiles await! ♡ The appeal of Moage's catalog gifts ① A wide variety of products

Moage's catalog gift has as many as 10 types, categorized by price, making for a rich lineup. It’s perfect for detailed differentiation.

Each price category of the catalog gift includes plenty of wonderful items. For friends, the catalog priced around 3000 yen includes adorable heart-shaped Le Creuset miniature ramekins.

The catalog gifts priced around 5000 to 10000 yen, intended for superiors or relatives, include gourmet experiences from renowned shops across different countries. The presence of famous brand sweets and gourmet foods from long-standing restaurants is also a delightful point, making it enjoyable even for families.

Many products choosable from Moage are famous brand items and popular gourmet foods. Guests might find themselves blessed with the happy dilemma of how “all the items in the catalog are appealing, making it hard to choose just one!”

More smiles await! ♡ The appeal of Moage's catalog gifts ② A one-year exchange period ♡

By the way, do you know how long the exchange period is for catalog gifts? Most catalog gifts allow for exchanges ranging from 3 months to 6 months. Three to six months can pass by in an instant! But the exchange period for Moage’s catalog gifts is a full year. It allows guests to take their time picking options.

Even if they think, "I don’t need anything right now,” within a year, they’re likely to find something they want. It’s convenient as they can place orders for items like “I think I need a new frying pan soon…” whenever the time is right for them.

More smiles await! ♡ The appeal of Moage's catalog gifts ③ Know the status of guests' orders!

Moage’s catalog gifts come with a system that informs you of the guests' order status. This means there's no worry about “I got the catalog gift, but the deadline passed…” or “I gave the gift, but I wonder if they ordered it…” You can know if, for example, “XX hasn’t ordered yet,” so you can remind them when you meet.

Apparently, many guests forget to place orders for catalog gifts after receiving them, so being able to follow up until the end rather than just leaving them is incredibly nice, isn’t it?

More smiles await! ♡ The appeal of Moage's catalog gifts ④ Easy exchanges via smartphone ♡

With Moage’s catalog gift, exchanging products can also be done through a smartphone, making it convenient. Typically, catalog gift orders are often only done via postcard. You just have to write down the desired item and your address, then drop it in the mailbox, but this can be unexpectedly cumbersome.

With Moage, you can select and order directly from your smartphone, making it stress-free. It’s appealing that guests can place their orders during their commuting time or free moments without having to open the catalog.
