Practice with ECHO App โFrequently Asked Questions
Q. How much does the gift cost?
A. The average price is 30,000 yen for friends, 50,000 yen for bosses, and 50,000 to 100,000 yen for relatives. Avoid divisible 40,000 yen and even numbers (2, 4, 60,000 yen); odd numbers are considered good.
Q. What should I write on the front of the gift bag?
A. ``Kotobuki'', ``Marriage Celebration'', and ``Goshu'' are the standard ones. For mizuhiki, choose ``musubikiri'' (meaning one-time only). Bow knots are not acceptable because they can be tied multiple times.
Q. What are the โbad wordsโ to avoid?
A. Avoid words associated with separation or unhappiness in your speech, such as "break up," "break up," "end," "return," "cool down," and "leave."
Q. What are your dress etiquette?
A. Men wear black suits and white ties, women wear knee-length to long dresses. White is a bride's color, so it's no good. Avoid excessive exposure and flashy patterns.
Q. What should you do if you are absent?
A. We will contact you by phone immediately and send you a separate congratulations. The amount of congratulatory gifts is approximately half the amount paid for attending (10,000 to 20,000 yen for friends).
