About Noshi Wrapping
About Noshi Wrapping
We provide traditional Japanese Noshi wrapping for wedding favours and gifts. Our Noshi has the ceremonial red and white "Mizuhiki" cord ribbon printed directly on the paper wrapping. The ribbon is tied in the "Musubikiri" style, which symbolizes a bond that cannot be broken once tied, and is thought to bring good fortune for the newlyweds. We also accept sender names for print on the Noshi wrapping.
*Unless otherwise specified, the standard Noshi for gift purposes will be used.
About Message Cards
We at Hippopotamus are happy to provide Message Cards for personalised sentiments free of charge to your order. (*Please note that we do not provide printing services for custom messages.)
Wedding Favours FAQ
《What are Wedding Favours?》
Wedding favours are small gifts from the bride, groom, and their families to wedding guests, and is a gesture to express gratitude and appreciation for those attending the reception and wedding celebrations.
《How many items should wedding favours contain?》
Customs are different across regions and cultures, but what is considered standard in Japan is to have 2 to 3 items of gifts and sweets combined. Odd numbers are traditionally considered to be of better luck than even numbers, therefore having 3, 5, 7 number of different items in each gift is also common. Some regions also customarily limit gifts to be one item as well.
《What is the average cost or value of wedding favours?》
The average wedding favour is valued at around 3,000 to 8,000 yen per person. Another good price estimate is for the gift to be 1/3 or 1/2 the cost of the wedding meal and drinks combined per person. We also recommend having different tiers of gifts, such as 5,000 yen gifts for family, friends, and coworkers, while providing 8,000 yen gifts for bosses or superiors.
We also recommend that you send additional gifts after the wedding celebrations for close friends and family from whom you have received generous wedding gifts.
《How many wedding favours should I give married couples?》
Wedding favours were traditionally given to each person as a token of appreciation for their attendance, but recent trends have shown that giving one gift per couple or giving different gifts for each person is also becomming more common.
《Should I also give gifts to my own parents or siblings?》
Parents are usually considered as hosts of the wedding celebration, and therefore do not typically receive wedding favours or gifts. Recent trends also show a growing number of weddings hosted solely by the bride and groom, and therefore providing gifts for parents would not be a problem in this case.
《What is Noshi Wrapping and Omotegaki?》
"Omotegaki" refers to the written content at the top half of the ceremonial Noshi wrapping, and traditionally has the Japanese symbol for congratulations when used for wedding and reception parties. The bottom half should display the sender's name, but in the case for wedding favours, it will typically show the surnames of the bride on the left and groom on the right. (*Note that some cases the word "family" is added after the surnames. The order of the names is also reversed in cases where the husband is taking his wife's surname.)
