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.

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.
