"Share Your Favorite Things: Ideas for Prompts from the Newlyweds in the Guest Card Message Section ♩"
2021.03.08 published
Guest Card Message Issues *
Recently, many brides are choosing guest cards instead of guestbooks due to COVID-19 measures.
The content of the guest cards is different for each couple, but
・ Basic information such as names, addresses, and phone numbers on the front
・ Messages on the back
are often seen in their designs *
Creating a theme might be interesting ♩
The message area on the back is basically for guests to freely write messages, but
it is also recommended to create a theme from the couple as an additional idea ♩
What kind of themes are good?
The theme should be easy and universal so that everyone can write about it.
<For example>
✅ Please tell us about a fun travel destination you've been to
✅ Please let us know your favorite restaurants
✅ Please share your favorite movies, dramas, manga, or anime
These seem to be good ideas ♩
By creating such themes,
it becomes easier for guests to write about things other than congratulatory messages and it’s nice to be able to share their favorites.
(According to men, they find it difficult to know what to write (especially when the back side is just for messages, the blank space is too large), making it preferable when a theme is provided!)
For the couple, it’s delightful to learn about the guests' preferences, which can lead to future conversations.
Knowing the favorite things and memorable places of people you are close to and love can lead to new discoveries and unexpected sides, even in long-term relationships *
On the guest card, you could write,
"In addition to your message, please feel free to share your favorite ○○ as well."
This will surely prompt everyone to think of various things and share with you.
Ideas for Creating Themes for Guest Card Messages ♡
The message area on guest cards often gets filled with
Congratulations on your marriage
Wishing you lasting happiness
Looking forward to seeing you again
which tends to be formulaic messages, but
if the couple provides a prompt, it increases the opportunities for guests to write more and share their personal likes, making it a fun card for both the writer and the reader ♡
