"Thoughtful Hospitality Ideas for Wedding Guests Under 1000 Yen"

What Can You Do for Your Guests at Your Wedding?

"I want my guests to enjoy the wedding!" This is a common feeling among brides. You may be preparing delicious food, a variety of drinks, and beloved wedding favors, but...

There's a desire to be able to offer even more hospitality to guests. However, it can be really difficult to think of what you can do.

So this time, I will introduce ways to provide hospitality to guests that can be done for under 1000 yen♡

Hospitality for Guests Under 1000 Yen① Name Tags with Messages

A classic way to offer hospitality to guests is through "name tags with messages." Writing a short message on the back of the name tags is easy to do and conveys your feelings. It's also nice that it's free since it's just a note on the back of the name tag!

Hospitality for Guests Under 1000 Yen② Birthday Plates

Adding a birthday plate to the dessert is also a standard method of hospitality. Be sure to find out the birthdays of all the guests in advance. Depending on the wedding venue, it seems that this can often be done for about 300 to 1000 yen per person!

Hospitality for Guests Under 1000 Yen③ Names in the End Roll

Including names and short messages in the end roll is also effective. Guests seem to appreciate the feeling of "we created the wedding together." The cost of adding names to the end roll varies, but it often turns out to be free if you order the end roll!

Hospitality for Guests Under 1000 Yen④ Catering for Allergies

Catering for food allergies is also a form of hospitality. It's common for guests to write this on their RSVP postcard, but some might not mention it out of consideration, so it's recommended to research this beforehand. Depending on the venue, it's often the case that there are no additional charges for catering to allergies!

Hospitality for Guests Under 1000 Yen⑤ Map Guidance

Maps enclosed with invitations might often be a bit confusing for the wedding venue. If it's not specifically stated such as, "○○ Station, which exit, a five-minute walk, turn at ○○ intersection, landmark," writing down these details will provide reassurance.

For guests coming by Shinkansen or airplane, it would also be considerate to provide directions and estimated travel times from the nearest Shinkansen station or airport.

For guests arriving by car, in addition to directions to the nearest interchange, providing information about parking facilities is also necessary. Make sure to check this in advance. It’s necessary to create the map yourself, but if you do it at home, it should only cost about 500 yen for paper!

Hospitality for Guests Under 1000 Yen⑥ Consideration for Left-Handed Guests

For left-handed guests, consider having the fork and knife set arranged in reverse, which would be more considerate. It seems that left-handed people are genuinely touched by this kind of consideration! This can easily be requested from the wedding venue and should be free.

Hospitality for Guests Under 1000 Yen⑦ Consideration for Pregnant Guests

Don’t forget to consider pregnant guests! Providing cushions or blankets, or offering caffeine-free "rooibos tea" will make them happy. However, if they haven’t shared their pregnancy news with their friends yet, even if they’ve told the bride and groom, it can be a case-by-case situation.

Prices depend on the wedding venue, but in many cases, it seems like they provide these items for free!

Hospitality for Guests Under 1000 Yen⑧ Consideration for Young Guests

For young guests, prepare gifts to keep them entertained or appoint them as the “kids' photographer.” Having a play booth for kids could also be a good idea!

Many brides seem to choose gifts around 1000 yen, with many opting for snacks or picture books, or art kits that kids can play with on the spot.

Hospitality for Guests Under 1000 Yen⑨ Consideration for Underage Guests

There are also “underage guests,” like middle and high school students, who are not quite children but not quite adults. It’s recommended to offer non-alcoholic cocktails for underage guests. This allows them to feel a little more grown-up and enjoy the celebration!

It seems that the costs for these are often similar to those of alcoholic cocktails, around 500 to 1000 yen per person.

Hospitality for Guests Under 1000 Yen⑩ Taking Two-Shot Photos

Lastly, I would like to introduce the option of "taking two-shot photos." While it’s common to take group photos at weddings, guests may hesitate to ask for a two-shot.

However, it’s delightful to have two-shot photos! With a little effort from the bride, these can be quickly taken as selfies, so I highly recommend it.

A Little Thought Goes a Long Way for Guest Satisfaction♡

I have introduced various ways to offer hospitality to guests that can be done for under 1000 yen. While there are many things you can do for your guests, the more you think about it, the more you realize that doing too much for any one guest can be problematic.

To ensure that guests have a delightful time, think about the things you can do, keeping their faces in mind!
