Shiori, Emi, Youichi, and Ryoutaro drove to Sakanoue (our neighborhood) that night to hand out nijikai (二次会, afterparty) invitations to everyone for Shiori and Youichi's upcoming wedding on February 11.
In Japan, it is customary to hold nijikais for a variety of occasions such as weddings.
From what I understand, it is customary to invite superiors and important acquaintances to the wedding reception and the wedding party, so it can be quite stiff and formal. On the other hand, close friends of both the bride and groom are invited to the afterparty so it is more informal and festive.
Shiori also told me that they will be playing videos of the wedding reception and the party and slideshows of the bride's and the groom's childhood pictures.

...turns out Emi also graduated from IUK, the school we're in right now :D
