Do You Know About the Wedding Box?
Have you heard of the popular wedding event known as the "Wedding Box" (also called Fish Box or Wine Box) that is trending overseas?
The Wedding Box is like a time capsule for the newlyweds, meant to be opened 5 or 10 years later.*
There is a performance called the "Wedding Box Ceremony," where you place alcohol and messages for the newlyweds written for years in the future into a wooden box, lock it up, and preserve it.♩
Don’t you think it’s a wonderful performance that allows you to imagine what kind of life the couple will be living years later while also serving as a lovely reminder of their wedding day?♡
How to Prepare for the Wedding Box Ceremony
Now, let’s introduce the time capsule-like performance "Wedding Box Ceremony"!♩
Here’s what to prepare for the Wedding Box Ceremony:*
① Wooden Box
It's standard to prepare a wooden box inscribed with the couple's names and wedding date. You can buy one on Rakuten!♩
➡【2,100 yen】Here’s a personalized wooden box*
② Key
Since personalized boxes with keys are not widely available, many brides buy a box with a key and write their names on it using wood burning, or attach a key themselves to a box without one.
③ Nails & Hammer
It's quite common to use nails and a hammer instead of a key.* It seems that using nails and a hammer is standard overseas.◎
④ Wine, Letters, Photos, etc.
Common items to put in the wooden box include wine, letters, and photos.* It’s also lovely to have all guests write messages addressed to the couple to be opened in 10 years!♡
It’s common to use wine from the year the couple met or the year of their wedding.◎
How to Conduct the Wedding Box Ceremony
The Wedding Box Ceremony is very easy to execute.*
First, collect messages from guests addressed to the couple ten years later.*
The bride in this case had a wedding tree made with the theme of “thoughts you want to keep for the couple in ten years.”♩
After collecting messages from the guests, it’s time to enact the Wedding Box Ceremony.* This performance is usually done as the main event after the couple re-enters the venue.♩
The couple can print out letters they wrote to each other, as well as group photos taken after the ceremony, and put them in the box, along with wine or alcohol before locking it up (they seal the lid with nails and a hammer).◎
After that, the couple simply needs to store it for the designated years. It’ll be exciting to open it 5, 10, or 20 years later!♩
