I Want to Take Shodo Shots♡

A popular Shodo shot with the bride and groom holding calligraphy paper during a pre-wedding photoshoot in traditional Japanese attire＊

In Shodo shots, it's common to write:

- Our names

- We got married

- Happy New Year or Welcoming Spring

- Goals after marriage

These have been the traditional phrases, but recently there are many other ideas for Shodo shots♡

Here are the latest things to write in Shodo shots as of 2018♩

What to Write ① Started & Received

The bride holding "Groom's Last Name Started" is popular, reminiscent of the "Chilled Chinese Noodles Have Started" phrase♡

As a counterpart, it's been talked about lately to have the groom hold "Bride's Last Name Received" as well♩

It’s great to have both "Started" & "Received" as a set＊

What to Write ② Today’s Wedding

It's become a trend among brides to upload a "Today's Wedding" image on Instagram the morning of the wedding＊

Typically, text would be added through image editing, but

writing "Today's Wedding" and "Please Come Safely" in a Shodo shot is lovely too♩

When guests see this photo, it will surely make them sit up straight with excitement about attending the venue!

What to Write ③ WELCOME in English

It's perfectly fine to write in languages other than Japanese for Shodo shots♡

This bride wrote the English message "welcome to our wedding party" on the calligraphy paper＊

If you're having a traditional wedding, it can also be used for a welcome board photo♩

What to Write ④ A Special Design

The auspicious kanji "壽" is also recommended as a phrase for Shodo shots＊

Recently, it seems to be trending to include hearts like this♡

While Shodo shots can come off as somewhat formal, a little creativity can enhance their cuteness♩
