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 ♡

Performance you can do in the welcome space① Cheki

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 common to hang them on strings to create photo garlands, compile them into albums, or decorate a welcome tree like ornaments＊

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

Performance you can do in the welcome space④ Heart Drops

Heart drops involve having guests write their names on small heart-shaped drops and placing them in a large frame＊

It's a performance that serves as an alternative to a guest book♩

Many brides also seem to DIY original shapes such as stars, flowers, or shells instead of just hearts＊

Since they are visually adorable, they can also be displayed as decorations in the new home♡

The message wall (wall letter) is an idea where all guests write letters to be displayed in the welcome space＊
