A reception sign to display in the reception area.

While a simple design with "Groom" and "Bride" is popular, a reception sign featuring the couple’s photo in a photo frame is also trendy♡

Since all guests coming to the reception will see it, you want to use your favorite photo.

In this article, we will introduce various patterns of photos that brides who DIY reception signs have chosen.

Use this as a DIY reference♡

Photo Option 1: Solo Shots from Pre-Wedding Photos

First, let’s introduce reception signs that use solo shots taken during the pre-wedding photoshoot.

For welcome boards or profile movies, two-shot pictures of the couple are typically used.

Since solo shots are less often showcased, making them into a reception sign seems like a great idea♡

This reception sign features solo shots of the couple inserted to face each other in a three-panel photo frame.

It has a mature and calm design♩

It might be nice to have wedding photos taken specifically for the reception sign♡

Pre-brides who are planning to do pre-wedding photoshoots are recommended to create shooting instructions based on what kind of photos they want to use for the reception sign.

Photo Option 2: Foot Shots

Another idea using pre-wedding photos is to use foot shots instead of showing the couple's faces.

This is recommended for those who might feel a bit shy about showing their faces or who want to keep their bride look a secret until the ceremony.

A reception sign using foot shots has a stylish appearance.

Printing foot shots in black and white is also a nice idea.

Photo Option 3: Snapshots

Use casual snapshots that convey the couple's everyday vibe for the reception sign♡

If you want to show casual photos but are worried they might stand out in the welcome space, this is also recommended.

Go on a date to take photos that can be used for the reception sign and take turns capturing each other♩

Photo Option 4: Childhood Photos

Using childhood photos for the reception sign is also wonderful.

Friends and colleagues will get excited seeing old photos for the first time, while family members may feel nostalgic.

This idea involves cutting out just the people and pasting them onto paper.

Although old photos often have dark backgrounds, this method makes it work with any photo♩

Photo Option 5: Shichi-Go-San Photos

Finally, we introduce a reception sign that uses Shichi-Go-San photos.

A photo featuring the bride and groom at a similar age brings a warm smile.

To match the background of the bride and groom's photos like in this reception sign, you can edit to cut out just the figures.

This article provides a detailed explanation of how to do it♩
