"Thank You for Adding Joy to Our Wedding Reception: A Special Feature on Gift Ideas for Guests Who Performed"
2017.10.17 published
What would be a good present to thank for the entertainment? ♡
The guests you ask for entertainment at the reception are often friends from school or colleagues at work that you are close with*
Preparing for the entertainment can be quite challenging, as it involves gathering on days off to practice dances, edit movies, or purchase costumes.
Even though you are close, it is polite as a bride to express your gratitude towards everyone who took the time to perform by giving them a wonderful gift*
The average budget for a main guest is about 2,000 to 3,000 yen*
It seems that until a little while ago, giving cash as a thank you for entertainment was quite common, but recently giving a physical gift has become the mainstream choice*
The budget for presents is:
☑ About 2,000 to 3,000 yen for the main guest who took the lead
☑ About 500 to 1,000 yen for other participating guests
This seems to be the average price range◎
Of course, every situation is different, so let's respond in the way that feels most satisfactory*
Now, let’s introduce some presents that brides have actually given as thank you gifts for female guests' performances♩
Thank You Gift 1* Starbucks Card + Something
Starbucks gift cards are a classic present, regardless of the wedding*
The designs vary by season and region, which adds to their popularity!
Many brides seem to load about 2,000 yen onto a Starbucks card and pair it with a beauty item or a box of sweets worth about 1,000 yen♩
This bride accompanied her Starbucks card with a Tocca hand cream♡
Thank You Gift 2* Embroidered Handkerchiefs
Giving matching handkerchiefs to everyone who helped with the entertainment adds a sense of closeness and is lovely♡
If the number of people isn’t too large, getting them embroidered with initials is also a good idea♩
A high-quality, special handkerchief is nice to have for future wedding invitations and dates!
Recommended handkerchief brands include 'Classics the Small Luxury', 'Irina', and 'Jill Stuart', available for about 2,000 to 3,000 yen♡
