Let's Create a Family Meeting Brochure ♩

Once the wedding is decided, it's common to hold a "family meeting" soon after＊

The family meeting is the first opportunity for both parents to meet each other. It's the first step towards building a long-lasting relationship between families that were once strangers♡

During the family meeting, not only the bride and groom but also their parents are often nervous.

Therefore, it's recommended to create a "family meeting brochure"♩

With a brochure, you can bring up topics based on its content, helping to avoid awkward silences and allowing for a smoother family meeting◎

This time, I’ll introduce the contents of the family meeting brochure＊
