"Save Money While Entertaining Guests! 3 Tips for Cutting Costs on 'Return Gifts' You Can't Afford to Miss!"

2017.02.23 published

Don't you think you can't save on "Hikiduke"?

"Hikiduke" is given as a thank-you gift for the monetary gifts received from guests at your wedding. Since "Hikiduke" is a form of hospitality for your guests, don't you think it’s something you absolutely shouldn't cut?

But wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could save money without lowering the quality, or even raise the quality for the same amount?

This time, I’m going to share some tips on how you might save on "Hikiduke" without lowering its grade! Cut where you can, and be generous to your guests ♡

Tip 1 for saving on Hikiduke: Bring in your own Hikiduke

The first tip for saving on Hikiduke is to bring in your own. Many Hikiduke ordered from the wedding venue are at full price, so the same products can sometimes be found at lower prices from other stores or online shops.

However, bringing in your own Hikiduke often incurs a "bringing fee" at many wedding venues. This fee typically ranges from 300 to 700 yen. Since you’re charged a fee for each item, it might seem like bringing them in is a loss.

But let’s think about it a little more.

For example, let’s say if you order "Hikiduke" for your friends at your wedding venue: [3000 yen catalog gift + 1200 yen sweet + 1200 yen lucky charm + 400 yen Hikiduke bag = total 5800 yen].

However, if you can buy the same items at a discounted price from another store: [3000 yen catalog gift for 2700 yen + 1200 yen sweet for 1000 yen + 1200 yen lucky charm for 1000 yen + Hikiduke bag for 200 yen + bringing fee of 400 yen = total 5300 yen]!

Even with the bringing fee, if you save 500 yen per person by bringing them in, wouldn’t that be more beneficial? If you prepare for 80 guests, that’s a saving of 40,000 yen ♡

If you can save 500 yen per person, you might even be able to upgrade a 3000 yen catalog gift to one worth 3500 yen or slightly raise the quality of the guests’ meals.

So, it’s not always the case that bringing items incurs higher costs. Let’s cleverly use online shopping or stores to figure out which option is more economical ◎

Tip 2 for saving on Hikiduke: Use Hikiduke delivery services

The next tip is to utilize "Hikiduke delivery" services. Do you know about Hikiduke delivery? This service involves sending Hikiduke to guests' homes after the wedding has concluded.

Recently, this has become popular since it allows guests to avoid carrying heavy Hikiduke home, and it reduces the burden for those who were traveling long distances.

Although Hikiduke delivery might seem expensive for shipping at first glance, it’s actually not the case! Many Hikiduke delivery services offer free shipping and will even wrap the items.

Since Hikiduke delivery doesn't incur shipping or wrapping fees, the only cost is the price of the Hikiduke itself. However, if you order from the wedding venue, you will need to pay for "Hikiduke bags," which usually costs around 300 to 600 yen on top of the Hikiduke price.

Therefore, this means guests can enjoy a more convenient experience while you save money at the same time! Although it's not a mainstream service yet, definitely consider it ♩

Tip 3 for saving on Hikiduke: Use branded bags

The next tip for saving on Hikiduke is to use branded bags ♡ Brands like Tiffany or Barneys New York often provide large Hikiduke bags free of charge when you order Hikiduke from them.

Therefore, if you find a preferred Hikiduke from Tiffany or Barneys New York, using their bags can save you the cost of 300 to 600 yen that you would otherwise incur for the wedding venue's Hikiduke bags.

Guests are likely to feel happier receiving a branded bag rather than one from the wedding venue ♡ Make sure to ask your wedding venue about which brands offer Hikiduke bags!

Save on Hikiduke without lowering the quality and treat your guests well ♡

I have shared three tips on how to save on the quality of your wedding Hikiduke without sacrificing quality. It’s often thought that you cannot reduce "Hikiduke," but there might actually be room for savings ♩

The methods I introduced today are perfect for brides looking to maintain the quality of their Hikiduke while keeping costs down.

However, the carrying fees and costs of Hikiduke bags that influence the price can vary from wedding venue to wedding venue. Of course, sometimes venues may offer discounts making ordering from them the most economical choice. Be sure to check your estimates carefully and consider ways to save on Hikiduke ◎
