I Was Invited to a Wedding ♡

When you reach a certain age, experiencing 'being invited to a wedding' is inevitable, whether it’s for friends or relatives. It's something to truly look forward to ♡

When invited, one thing you want to confirm is what to bring with you. What should you take when you're invited to a wedding? Asking your parents may yield somewhat outdated advice, and you definitely don’t want to feel embarrassed for forgetting something...!

This time, I will introduce the items you should bring when invited to a wedding. Even brides who have attended many weddings should go over this as a final check before the event ♩

Items Guests Should Bring When Invited to a Wedding ① Cash Gift, Envelope, Fukusa

One essential item you must not forget when invited is the cash gift! Place the cash in a wedding envelope, write your name on it, and on the front of the inner envelope, indicate the amount. On the back, write your name and address ◎

It's considered good manners to place the cash gift in a fukusa (traditional wrapping cloth). While you can find simple ones at dollar stores, you should check out these lovely fukusa options as well＊

Items Guests Should Bring When Invited to a Wedding ② Invitation Card & Guest Card

It’s best to bring the invitation card that was mailed to you in advance ◎ It includes the time, place, and a map to the venue, so having it on hand will be helpful ♩

Additionally, there may be a guest card included with the invitation. If a guest card is enclosed, be sure to fill it out and bring it with you on the day of the event ◎

Items Guests Should Bring When Invited to a Wedding ③ Wallet & IC Card

A wallet and IC card are also among the essentials you should not forget ◎ It’s recommended to switch to a small wallet for convenience ♡

Items Guests Should Bring When Invited to a Wedding ④ Mobile Phone, Camera, Charger

A mobile phone and camera are must-haves for the wedding ♡ Make sure to capture many joyful moments of the couple ♩ If you plan to attend the after-party as well, it might be convenient to bring a charger since your battery could run out＊

Items Guests Should Bring When Invited to a Wedding ⑤ Grooming Essentials

Don’t forget your usual grooming essentials like a handkerchief, tissues, cosmetics, eye drops, and glasses＊ You might get emotional at the wedding and tear up, so a hand mirror could also come in handy ◎

Do All These Items Fit in a Party Bag?

The necessary items for guests at a wedding look like this＊ Ideally, everything would fit in a small party bag, but sometimes it’s just not possible...!

In such cases, a sub-bag for the party bag is necessary ◎ Many people use paper bags like shopping bags as a sub-bag, but to be strict, this is considered inappropriate etiquette. It's not suitable as a sub-bag.

A suitable sub-bag is a small tote bag in white or black＊ There are simple to festive options available, so choose according to your preference ♩

A simple black one can also be used for funerals, while a white festive type could later be used for your child's entrance ceremony, etc. It's best to choose something that will be useful in the long run ♩
