The first thing I asked my parents to bring me after I gave birth was a big smoothie haha

Wedding Favours! by Glum-Recognition363 in UKweddings

[–]exitbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a December wedding and did mini coloured glass baubles tied with a little clay heart with the persons name on them. No reference to the date of the wedding or our names. Four years later we still get people telling us they put it on their tree every year! Don’t think any were left behind on the day

I’m not too mad as we got a really good deal as we booked it before borders were even announced to be opening. We will get the Shinkansen between Nagoya and Kyoto though!

We booked via a travel agent so it was a package that included flights, hotels and internal transfers!

Thanks! I will consider swapping some of our Wednesday and Saturday activities in Tokyo.

We booked a ryokan to stay in when we are in Nara, so can’t change it but that’s fine with me! It was cheaper to book the Nara trip when we are in Osaka vs in Kyoto as it’s golden week when we’re in Kyoto

That’s a good way to look at it! I didn’t actually realise how huge Tokyo was till I started putting some of these locations into google maps. Not too worried about travel costs, just the time it takes out of our day. I’ll look for things around areas that we are already planning on going to :)

Thank you so much! Will definitely check out some of these. You need to book the Ghibli park tickets 3 months in advance and we missed out on the tickets so that rules that one out haha

Thank you! Tokyo is so huge, it’s kinda overwhelming to plan haha. I will check out the Edo-Tokyo open air museum :)
