[Wedding Reception BGM] Recommended Songs for Bouquet and Gift Presentation

Presenting bouquets and commemorative gifts to both sets of parents is an important moment that brings the wedding reception to a close.

You’ll want to express as much gratitude as possible to the parents who have supported the two of you up to this point.

Since this is one of the most moving scenes in the entire wedding, many couples want to be particular about the choice of BGM.

For the presentation scene, choosing songs that convey thanks to your parents or that declare your resolve to “walk forward together from here” will surely be appreciated.

Consider not only the lyrics but also the overall mood of the music, and choose songs that match the theme of your reception.

The GiftBlue

This is a song by the UK vocal group Blue, released in 2003.

It was composed by singer-songwriter Noriyuki Makihara.

Its lyrical theme—that having someone you love gives you the strength to be strong—makes it perfect for weddings and receptions.

If you listen while thinking about the person by your side or the parents who raised you, it’s sure to move you to tears.

Remember mekururi

“Remember me” is a moving ballad by Quruli.

Its lyrics, which sing of hearts staying close even when far apart, are filled with feelings for loved ones.

The unchanging bonds over time and the cherishing of small memories come through clearly.

Released in 2013, it was also used as a theme song for an NHK program.

It’s a perfect song to play during the bouquet presentation to parents.

If you want to express your gratitude directly while presenting a bouquet or a commemorative gift, this signature song by Ikimono-gakari is also a great choice.

Thanks to Kiyoe Yoshioka’s clear, unaffected vocals, the message of gratitude in the lyrics comes straight to the heart.

Naturally, the moving, pleasantly catchy melody that unfolds at a relaxed tempo also creates a touching atmosphere.

It was used as the theme song for the morning drama Gegege no Nyobo, so another strong point is that it’s well known across generations!

Letter ~To My Beloved~Fujita Maiko

This song by singer-songwriter Maiko Fujita is a deeply moving piece that’s perfect for gift-giving moments.

Its lyrics read like letters expressing gratitude to each of her parents, and I imagine many moms and dads would be brought to tears if this played during a presentation scene.

The simple musical arrangement lets the message of the lyrics shine through, which is one of the song’s charms.

Since it’s not easy to express our appreciation to our parents in everyday life, why not take this opportunity to convey it with the help of music?

Many people probably include this song as a candidate for the background music when presenting a commemorative bouquet.

Until yesterday, I hadn’t expressed my love or gratitude, but now I’m giving a bouquet filled with my feelings to someone special.

With lyrics carrying that sentiment, this ballad is sung gently yet powerfully by Superfly’s rich, soaring voice.

While the straightforward lyrics may be a love song addressed to a romantic partner, the “someone special” could also be parents or family, making it a perfect song for conveying love and appreciation.

Song of ParentsGReeeeN

GReeeeN / Father-Mother Song
Song of ParentsGReeeeN

This is a gratitude song by GReeeeN, known for their straightforward message.

As the title “Fubouta” (Father-Mother Song) suggests, the lyrics express appreciation toward one’s parents.

They look back from the days of being gently cared for as a small child to the rebellious phase when one may have acted harshly.

Your parents will likely listen to this song, recall those memories, and feel deeply moved.

And if you convey your “thank you” along with it, they will surely be delighted.

The calm, familiar melody also makes it perfect for a gifting moment.
