What Kind of 'Reception Sign' Do Japanese Wedding Brides Use?

The 'reception sign' is placed to clearly indicate whether it is the groom's side or the bride's side during the reception. Since the reception sign is small and easy to DIY, many brides create cute items that all guests will definitely pass by♩

However, it is a bit disappointing for Japanese wedding brides that many of the unique reception signs tend to be Western-style. As is common with all items, there are generally fewer Japanese wedding items and designs compared to Western ones.

Therefore, Japanese wedding brides are creating very cute reception signs! Let's introduce some lovely reception signs from wonderful Japanese wedding brides♩
