Family Meeting Booklet is Essential＊

At marry, every week we receive photos from brides to create articles such as bouquet features and wedding cake specials＊

Last week, when we called for photos of "family meetings," we received a lot of wonderful pictures♡

@ch0c0_bride

Among them, the most common were photos of the family meeting booklets!

The "family meeting booklet" includes the flow of the day, greetings from the main couple, and serves as a program.

Having this allows for conversation starters between the two families, helps manage time, and enables contact information sharing, making it very useful＊

@aririn_wedding

To provide inspiration for DIY, we would like to introduce the contents of the family meeting booklets from five marry brides who sent detailed information＊

(Personal information has been omitted＊)

Contents of the Family Meeting Booklet＊ Bride One♡

A festive design family meeting booklet in red and white colors＊

The red flowers were created using a template available on a site called "Paper Encyclopedia."

@meeko_wd

It's an A4 paper folded into thirds, and when spread out,

the left side displays "Today's Program" and "Future Schedule".

The right side presents "Greetings".

@meeko_wd

Then, when opened further, "Profiles" and "Venue Introduction" appear＊

It has a simple yet clear design with just the right amount of information.

Contents of the Family Meeting Booklet＊ Bride Two♡

@hro0808

When you open the cover, the first page contains greetings from the couple＊

@hro0808

On pages two and three, there are sections for "Today's Flow," "Menu," "About the Venue," and "New Home"＊

If the family meeting is held at a restaurant or dining establishment, including the menu like this is very considerate.

@hro0808

And on the last page, they include a closing greeting＊

Including a couple's photos here and there gives it a casual impression.

@yuih_wd

The first page contains the usual "Greetings."

@yuih_wd

Pages two and three feature "Today's Flow" and "Couple's Profiles"＊

@yuih_wd

On the next page, there is "The Couple's Story" and "Family Profiles" included.

It might be a bit embarrassing to tell family about the day they met or started dating,

but since they may be curious, it might be okay to include it with his consent♡

@yuih_wd

Representing "Family Profiles" with illustrations of Moomin is also wonderful!

It’s important to include contact details of the parents' home for sending greeting cards or presents in the future.

"How was the dress?" or "What did you discuss in the meeting?"♩

Let's Create a Family Meeting Booklet＊

The content of family meeting booklets varies by bride＊

It’s essential to include necessary information, along with details that the couple wishes to share, and what the family might be curious about.

Combining these well will help create a wonderful booklet that enhances the family meeting♩
