Have you thought about it yet?? Hospitality for child guests*
Recently, there has been an increase in brides who offer special hospitality to child guests at weddings ♡
A wedding environment that is different from the usual can be nerve-wracking for children. They might feel anxious in a room full of unfamiliar faces, or feel lonely while adults are having fun.
That's why it's very important to create an atmosphere where child guests can enjoy the wedding ♡ This time, we’ll introduce some small hospitality ideas that you might want to prepare for child guests if they are attending*
Hospitality Idea for Child Guests #1 Cute Place Cards
Place card messages are appreciated by adult guests, but for child guests who cannot read kanji, cute stuffed animals or rosettes as place cards are recommended ◎
The key point is that it's just for "〇〇-chan" ♡ It’s delightful to have something special prepared just for them. Let’s prepare cute place cards that child guests would want to show off to adults♩
Hospitality Idea for Child Guests #2 Hats
To enhance the party atmosphere, one bride prepared triangular hats for the child guests ♡ She apparently DIY'd them using triangular hats from Daiso and cut-out colored paper*
The design for boys was Mickey Mouse and for girls, Minnie Mouse, with their names on them. They are likely to wear them happily throughout the wedding reception ♩
They actually loved them so much that they wore them until they became tattered at home ♡ It’s wonderful to see such joy from a budget-friendly item*
Hospitality Idea for Child Guests #3 Toys
To keep child guests from getting bored, the idea of giving them picture books or coloring books is a good one* These are toys that can be played with while sitting in their seats, which is helpful for accompanying adult guests as well.
One bride even gave a magnetic drawing board that allows for repeated drawing enjoyment ♡ It's perfect for kids to pass the long 2.5-hour reception with fun ♡
Hospitality Idea for Child Guests #4 Kid's Camera
A fun idea is to gift an instant camera to child guests and let them become "child photographers" ♡ They will likely have a blast taking lots of pictures like real photographers♩
Collect the cameras at the end of the reception, print the photos, and it would surely bring them joy to receive them later*
