"Five Ways to Ensure Your Grandparents Can Witness Your Bridal Look, Even If They Can't Attend the Wedding"
2020.11.04 published
What Can Grandparents Who Can't Attend the Wedding Do?
Ideally, we would want all the important people who have taken care of us to attend our wedding.
However, it can be difficult for grandparents to join due to hospitalization or challenges with traveling long distances.
While you may want to show your grandparents your bride's appearance, it can be hard to make that happen in reality.
Here are some things that grandparents can do in such situations.
What Grandparents Who Can't Attend the Wedding Can Do ① Connect via Video Call
The first thing we recommend is connecting your grandparents through a video call during the wedding!
This allows them to watch the ceremony from afar.
As a preparation, since it may be difficult for grandparents to manage a video call directly, it’s good to ask a relative or a staff member from a nursing home to help them out. Make sure to check the venue's Wi-Fi beforehand as weak signals can disrupt the connection!
You might consider calling from the bridal room before the ceremony or having a relative (since parents will be busy on the day, siblings or uncles/aunts could do this) keep the call connected from start to finish.♡
What Grandparents Who Can't Attend the Wedding Can Do ② Show Them Your Dress
Many people have gone to show their grandparents in their wedding dress, saying, "I really wanted them to see the dress!"
Grandparents who feel sad about not being able to attend the wedding will be touched by the surprise of seeing you in your dress!
Since it's often challenging to bring the actual wedding dress, many opt to buy a dress online. You can find lovely wedding dresses on sites like Rakuten for around 10,000 yen.
What Grandparents Who Can't Attend the Wedding Can Do ③ Have a Pre-Shoot in Their Hometown
Another wonderful idea is to have a pre-shoot in the grandparents' hometown. This allows them to see you in your bridal look and to have professional family photos taken as well.
Brides who have done traditional outfit pre-shoots enjoyed capturing beautiful pictures in unique places like their family's tatami room or porch!
What Grandparents Who Can't Attend the Wedding Can Do ④ Show Them the Album or DVD
After the wedding, sharing an album or DVD is another good idea. While they can't see your beautiful appearance in person, they can enjoy seeing it through photos and videos!
When creating the album, it’s better to choose a larger size (like A4) because smaller pages can be hard to see.
