Check the items to place on the reception table!
On the day of the wedding reception, the first thing guests will see as they enter the venue is the reception area*
Every bride's true desire is to decorate it in a stylish and cute way that matches the wedding theme♡
However, if you get too caught up in the design and forget some important items or miss out on preparing them, it can be a problem...! It could also inconvenience your friends who are in charge of the reception.
To welcome your guests in perfect condition, here is a complete list of welcome items you want to have at the reception area*
Reception Item ① Guest Book
First and foremost, the guest book for guests to write their names is one of the most important items♡ Whether it’s a book type, a single-sheet paper type, or a guest card collection type, make sure to communicate it well to your friend in charge of the reception*
Reception Item ② Reception Pen
To have guests write their names in the guest book, you need a reception pen! A plain ballpoint pen can feel quite bland, so let’s DIY a reception pen decorated with flowers and ribbons to make it cute♡
Reception Item ③ Reception Sign
A reception sign to separate the groom's guests from the bride's guests is also an important wedding item* Many brides create cute and original designs, making it a fun DIY project♡

Reception Item ④ Welcome Doll
A welcome doll to warmly greet guests on behalf of the bride and groom is something you’d want to place on the reception table♡ It adds a lovely touch to the reception space♩
Reception Item ⑤ Binder for Guest Book
If the guest book is in card or paper format, don’t forget to prepare a binder so that guests can write easily. The difference it makes to have or not have this binder is significant in how quickly guests can respond! It’s recommended as it helps avoid long lines at the reception.
Reception Item ⑥ Calendar
To look back at photos taken on the wedding date, placing a calendar at the reception is also recommended* A regular desk calendar is fine, but the most popular choice is a block calendar♡
Reception Item ⑦ Welcome Tree
Brides who want guests to participate in a wedding tree should definitely have one in the reception area* It might be good to ask your friend in charge of the reception to encourage guests with a word♩
Reception Item ⑧ Dress Color Guessing Quiz
You’d want to set up a voting box for the color dress guessing quiz for the reception in a cute way like this♡ If it takes up quite a bit of space, preparing a small round table next to the reception desk is recommended!
Reception Item ⑨ Set of Paper Items like Seating Chart
Paper items like the seating chart, escort cards, and profile book are also essential items to place at the reception♡ Make sure to inform your friend in charge about the items you absolutely want to provide to your guests in advance*
Reception Item ⑩ Various Other Decorative Items
Lastly, I will introduce various decorative items to enhance the reception space♡ Let's stylishly decorate with your favorite small items like garlands, floral arrangements, and initial objects♩
