“The wedding favors I got at some wedding were just...” — such honest opinions are common on 'pre-bride' Instagram accounts. Gen Z brides seek three core values: empathy, originality, and self-expression.
hikica++, an e-commerce site for wedding favors operated by geeva Inc. (Headquarters: Kumamoto, CEO: Hirofumi Ogawa), a pioneer in gift cards, is advocating for 'Wedding DIY.' This service allows couples to gift their own Canva designs using patented QR gift technology.
### 1. The Discomfort of Today's Brides: 'I Don't Want the Same as Everyone Else'
For a generation with eyes sharpened by Instagram and Pinterest, a wedding is a masterpiece intended to convey their world view. Traditional catalog gifts offered at venues often break this aesthetic. 'It looks too generic,' or 'Everyone gets the same box' — a sense of dissatisfaction remains. Gen Z wants to share their story like 'fan culture' (Oshikatsu), delivering what they love along with their aesthetic. Traditional catalogs can no longer meet these expectations.
### 2. An Era Where 'Self-Expression' is Possible: The New Standard for DIY Brides
With tools like Canva and Lightroom, professional-quality design has become accessible to everyone. Brides are now unifying the world view of place cards, menus, and profile books. The trend is to treat the wedding favor as part of this artistic work. By including a QR code for the gift in the same design as the place cards, couples achieve a consistent, 'Insta-worthy' look similar to luxury hotels.
### 3. Why QR Gifts Resonate with the Younger Generation
- **Enhanced Experience:** Guests choose three items via their smartphones, turning the selection process into part of the entertainment.
- **Convenience:** Traditional favors are heavy and difficult for guests to carry home, especially those traveling by train or attending after-parties. A QR gift is just one card, showing a 'subtle consideration' that boosts guest satisfaction.
- **Sustainability:** It eliminates waste. Guests only choose what they will actually use or eat, fitting perfectly with the sustainable values of Gen Z.
### 4. Only hikica++ Can Do This: Patents Enable 'One-of-a-Kind Designs'
geeva Inc. holds over eight patents in the online favor and QR gift field. Their unique strength lies in 'individual variable printing' for credit-card sized cards. While difficult for standard printers, their technology allows for mass production of low-lot, unique designs for every single couple. Instead of choosing from a template, you can truly create and give something original.
