Don't Keep Your Guests Waiting! 9 Wonderful Ways to Delight Them with Your Welcome Space
2019.06.26 published
I want to know performances that can be done in the welcome space ♡
On the day of the wedding, guests will have to wait in the welcome space until the ceremony begins*
This waiting time is about 30 minutes. Since it's a relatively long time, if there's nothing to do, it can easily turn into a time of waiting around with nothing to occupy their hands.
This is especially true for guests who come alone, as they might find themselves waiting alone without anyone to talk to....
Therefore, having performances ready for this waiting time to entertain guests or to have guests collaborate and create items is quite popular.
This time, we will introduce performances that can be done in the welcome space*
Let's prepare wonderful performances and make sure guests enjoy themselves even before the ceremony starts ♡

One of the long-loved performances in the welcome space is Cheki*
Guests take pictures with Cheki and write messages to display them♩

It's also delightful to see the photos and messages from guests after the wedding is over♩
