Most weddings in Japan start with a religious ceremony in which usually only family members
attend. Afterwards, a banquet is customarily held to which many people, including friends and
colleagues, are invited. To celebrate the happy occasion, guests give the bride and groom goshuugi –
gift money in special envelopes. Goshuugi from friends is usually 20,000 yen or 30,000 yen.
A typical Japanese wedding party starts when the bride and groom enter the banquet hall
together, and take their seats on a slightly raised platform facing their guests. Invited guests are seated
closer to the bride and groom, with family and relatives seated further in back. The bride's and groom's
bosses usually give congratulatory speeches then their friends sing in celebration. Other wedding
highlights include a candle ceremony where the couple holds a candle while greeting their guests at
each table, and the cutting of the wedding cake. Afterwards, the bride and groom thank their parents
with a speech, then leave to end the party.
In the past, dishes that supposedly brought good fortune, such as prawns and sea breams, were
served in abundance. So much of the food was ordered that guests ended up taking the surplus home.
Today, the majority of the weddings serve just enough for everyone. Additionally, before leaving,
guests would traditionally receive souvenir gifts called hikidemono.
Many wedding ceremonies take place at wedding halls or hotels. Rough estimates show that it
costs about 3 million yen to host a wedding party for 80 guests. During Japan's economic bubble,
overseas weddings and flamboyant receptions with special effects, such as smoke machines and having
the bride and groom fly in on gondolas, were very popular. But these days, couples choose to tie the
knot in various ways, from not having any ceremony to having a modest affair, or still going all out.
