I Want the Family Waiting Room to Be a Relaxing Space ♡

On the day of the wedding, the first place the family gathers is not the welcome space but the family waiting room.

By the time of the family meeting, the parents from both sides should already have greeted and introduced themselves (including siblings, if applicable), but for many couples, it may be the first time meeting their parents' siblings and grandparents on the wedding day.

Therefore, on the day of the wedding, family introductions will take place in the family waiting room before the ceremony.

It would be wonderful if it could be a warm time to deepen relationships with uncles, aunts, nephews, and nieces who will be becoming relatives from now on.

【Topics for Conversation】Let's Prepare Something to Lighten the Atmosphere♩

However, having a large number of people who are meeting for the first time gathered in the same space can easily lead to a tense atmosphere, even on such a joyous occasion.

Moreover, the time spent in the family waiting room can be quite long, and for those who arrive early, it is not uncommon to wait for over 30 minutes before introductions start.

Therefore, it would be good to provide something enjoyable and comforting during the waiting time, similar to the welcome space.

Here are some items you might want to prepare to ensure that uncles, aunts, and nephews/nieces do not get bored in the family waiting room*

【Wedding】 Something that Will Be Appreciated in the Family Waiting Room ① Photos

The top priority items to have in the family waiting room are photos of the bride and groom from their childhood up to the present.

It's okay to display them in photo frames or compile them into a photobook or album.

Let's prepare a lot of pictures that include family members. Everyone will reminisce, saying "Wow, that was so long ago~."

It's also recommended to create a photo garland of memorable pictures and display it on a board or wall.

【Wedding】 Something that Will Be Appreciated in the Family Waiting Room ② Newspapers from the Day of Birth

Preparing a newspaper from the day the bride and groom were born, known as a "birthday newspaper," is a lovely idea.

It allows for nostalgic reminiscing about "what happened on the day they were born."

【Wedding】 Something that Will Be Appreciated in the Family Waiting Room ③ Cherry Blossom Tea

As for drinks, a classic choice is "sakura tea," which is made by pouring hot water over salted cherry blossoms, often served at celebratory events.

You might think about asking if you should prepare alcohol or soft drinks, but since it will be the very beginning of the wedding day and everyone is tense, they are likely not to drink much, leading to waste.

Instead, let's prepare celebratory drinks to create an atmosphere suitable for this special day*

【Wedding】 Something that Will Be Appreciated in the Family Waiting Room ④ Light Snacks

It might be appreciated to have some light snacks available to help ease the tension.

Particularly for family introductions, since greetings are necessary, having throat lozenges can provide reassurance for those who may feel nervous. It’s a kind gesture.
