Avoid Awkward Moments! It's a Good Idea to Decide on Photo Round Poses in Advance!

There is a problem with pose cards...!
Pose cards useful for table rounds during the reception*
To avoid the photos with guests becoming one-patterned with just peace signs, prepare cards with different types of poses in advance and have a representative draw one on the spot.
It’s a unique and fun way to engage guests, but there is also a certain issue...!
That is, depending on the table, it might be awkward for everyone to do the drawn pose together...!
For example,
✓ If it involves the groom's company superiors at the guest table, and they need to do a heart pose in pairs.
✓ If it involves relatives at the guest table, and they’re supposed to throw kisses.
etc...!
Surely everyone would want to have fun, but
(It might have been better to choose a different pose)
(If I forced them to do it, I feel a bit sorry)
(It feels awkward, and the excitement isn't quite there...)
As a countermeasure, it’s recommended to have the idea of “This guest table will do this pose!” decided from the beginning*
This way, you can specify in advance which pose fits best with the guests and which poses are likely to create excitement.
Especially with friends, they can relate to poses that they used to take often in photo booths or familiar poses from club activities, which makes it even more enjoyable!
Of course, at tables with company superiors or relatives, keeping the poses straightforward and not overly animated is also appealing.
It ensures no one feels awkward and avoids creating an uncomfortable atmosphere*
How to announce poses?
So, how should the chosen poses for each table be announced?
Here are a few patterns to introduce*
【①】
First, simply have the bride and groom inform the guests about the pose on the spot.
There's no need to create cards, making preparation easy*
【②】
Next, you could create pose cards and place them on the guest tables*
If you write on the envelope, “Don’t open until instructed ♡,” it can spark curiosity about what it might be.
【③】
Finally, right before the photo round, you can use a slide to present each pose.
This way, other tables will know what kind of photos to take, and it adds a surprise element that makes it a bit thrilling♡
It might be good to specify poses for the photo round too*

While having pose cards drawn randomly can be fun, it’s also recommended that the groom and bride decide the poses in advance with the guest table members♡
