The idea is to transform the welcome space into an 'send-off space' after the reception ends ♡

Many brides might imagine the scene of handing out small gifts to guests as the reception concludes...

Since guests will pass through the welcome space again on their way out, they will see the space once more ♡

Therefore, if you transform it into a different 'send-off space,' it will serve as the last little surprise for the guests＊

So how do you make this transformation? Here are actual ideas from past brides to share with you ♡

Idea 1 to Transform the Welcome Space into a Send-off Space

The first idea is to use paper showers ♡

Before the wedding, the letters "welcome" were made on the table with heart-shaped and Mickey-shaped paper showers...

By the time the reception ends and guests are leaving, the letters made from paper showers change from "welcome" to "thank you" ♡

Guests who notice this will undoubtedly want to tell those around them, "Hey, hey!!"＊

You could replicate this not only with paper showers but also with flower petals ♩

Idea 2 to Transform the Welcome Space into a Send-off Space

The next idea is to transform the welcome board into a 'send-off board' ♡

This simple and cute welcome board features a photo taken at Harborland in Kobe during their first date. The pastel color scheme is lovely!

The letters "welcome" are made with stickers. The vertically elongated font is stylish ♩

At the end of the reception, change the photo in the middle to create the 'send-off board' ♡ Since the background and photo will be completely different, the guests will likely notice＊

It feels heartwarming as if the bride and groom are sending them off♡

Another transformation idea using a welcome board is this one ♡

This is a wreath-style welcome board. Before the wedding began, it had the word "welcome," but as guests leave, it transforms into "thank you"＊

The staff flipped it over to change the wording during the reception, with English phrases written on both sides in advance. The wreath appears fixed but is only leaning against something.

This subtle surprise exudes sophistication ♡

Idea 3 to Transform the Welcome Space into a Send-off Space

The final idea involves incorporating a little surprise into the ceiling decorations＊

The corridor leading to the venue was decorated with a life-sized panel of the bride and groom and colorful balloons. The balloons had the words "WEDDING PARTY" hanging from them ♡

As guests walk through under the balloons, they are filled with excitement about reaching the venue...

After the reception ends, as they head to the exit, the words change from "WEDDING PARTY" to "THANKS TODAY" ♡

By printing different letters on each side, the message visible to guests will change depending on the direction they are coming from＊

It's a wonderful little surprise that keeps guests excited until the very end ♡
