In the climactic scene of the wedding reception, the gift that is given to the parents who have supported you the most is rice by weight.
Rice by weight (Weight rice) that is given in the amount of your birth weight is very popular! *
The charm lies in allowing your parents to once again experience the weight of holding you for the first time and the emotion of the moment of your birth. ♡
Many DIY brides are measuring the rice themselves, putting it in bags, and wrapping it with childhood photos.
Here are some recommended items for wrapping rice by weight that you might want to refer to before making your own! *
Item for Wrapping Rice by Weight ① Furoshiki
The most common wrapping method for rice by weight is the idea of wrapping the rice in furoshiki. The traditional Japanese atmosphere is lovely! *
If you create a casual and stylish design that can be easily used in everyday life, it can be a small storage pouch or bag after the ceremony, which is likely to be appreciated. ♩
If you wrap rice by weight with furoshiki, you’ll want to be particular about the way you tie it and the decorations! *
Item for Wrapping Rice by Weight ② Towel + Ribbon
If you want something simpler and cuter than furoshiki, using a towel and ribbon is also a classic wrapping method! *
Simply wrap the rice and photo in a towel and tie it tightly with a ribbon. The materials can all be found at a 100-yen shop, making it an affordable DIY project to enjoy! ♩
Item for Wrapping Rice by Weight ③ Fabric
If you want to give a rice by weight present with a focus on design, wrapping the rice in your favorite patterned fabric is also a wonderful idea! *
This bride has tied a flower ribbon on a blue and pink gingham check fabric, making it super cute! ♡
Item for Wrapping Rice by Weight ④ Baby Clothes
Finally, we introduce a unique idea that doesn't involve furoshiki, towels, or fabric... dressing the rice by weight in baby clothes! *
It’s very rare, and the baby clothes with a small childhood photo peeking out make it look just like a real baby!
Keeping the baby clothes as a keepsake to one day dress your child in is also a lovely thought. ♩
