2016.12.05 published

I want to show a little consideration for guests at the wedding ♡

The desire to "make guests enjoy the wedding" is a common wish among all brides, right? ♡

Of course, we want all guests to have a great time... but weddings also welcome guests such as "children," "pregnant women," and "those in wheelchairs," among others ♡ This time, I'll introduce some considerations that can be made for these guests. You might not realize them yourself, but reading this will help you understand "what you can do" ♡

Consideration for guest children at the wedding ① ♡

It seems many brides give gifts to child guests who attend the wedding. There are various ways to present these gifts, such as placing them at the children's seats in advance or handing them out during the table rounds after re-entering. To keep child guests from getting bored, many brides also provide toys ♡

Additionally, appointing child guests as "kid photographers" and giving them instant cameras is a trendy idea. This allows children to enjoy participating in the wedding, making it a wonderful concept ♡ Don't forget to have the photos developed afterwards and give them back to the children ◎

Consideration for pregnant women at the wedding ② ♡

Among the guests attending the wedding, there might be some who are "pregnant," which is a joyful circumstance. If you know in advance, it’s advisable to prepare cushions or blankets at their seats ♡ Also, pregnant women often avoid caffeine (like coffee or tea), so it’s good to arrange for non-caffeinated rooibos tea to be prepared ahead of time at the venue ◎

Furthermore, there might be people, such as colleagues, who don’t want others to know about their pregnancy. Be considerate of the timing and relationships, making sure they can enjoy their time comfortably ♩

Consideration for those in wheelchairs at the wedding ③ ♡

Some guests may use wheelchairs, such as those who have always used them or elderly guests due to the mobility involved in weddings. In such cases, make sure to inform the wedding venue in advance ♩ Confirm whether the guest is bringing their own wheelchair or if they will borrow one from the venue, which will help the guests navigate check-in smoothly ◎

Additionally, when it comes to dining during the reception, check in advance whether they will be eating in their wheelchair or transferring to a chair. If they are eating in their wheelchair, having cushions available might be beneficial, especially if the tables are high ◎

Consideration for those with allergies at the wedding ④ ♡

There might be guests with allergies to shellfish, eggs, soba, and other items. Some guests could have severe allergies that could be life-threatening, so it’s becoming more common for RSVP cards to include a section for noting allergies ♡

By understanding who has allergies, you can request meal changes at the wedding venue. This is something to consider for future dining together as well, so taking notes can be helpful ♡

Consideration for left-handed guests at the wedding ⑤ ♡

Among your guests, there might be some who are left-handed ◎ If you know in advance, you can ask for the silverware settings for the course meal to be reversed (forks and knives) ♡ A little consideration can be very appreciated, so be sure to ask about it ♩

Offering hospitality to guests at the wedding varies from person to person. Let's ensure they have a comfortable experience with a little consideration. ◎

How did you find the considerations for guests at the wedding? Considerations for those in wheelchairs or left-handed guests can be unclear in terms of "what they need" or "what they want."
