When to Show the Profile Movie?

The "profile movie (childhood movie)" introduces the upbringing of the bride and groom, their meeting, and the journey to their wedding.

A common timing to show it is when the bride and groom are away from the reception.

Since the guests can watch the video while the couple is not present, it's a good time, right? *

I think most people probably show it during this intermission.

It's Wonderful to Show It at the End of the Reception Too!

However, it is of course okay to show it at a different time, and it can create a lovely production as well. ♡

Rika (@___rk93wd), who had her wedding at Hiroshima Monolith, showed her childhood movie at a time other than during the intermission.

Rika showed hers right before the bride's letter.

She decided to show the childhood movie towards the end of the reception, watch it together with the bride and groom, and then proceed with the bride's letter, bouquet presentation, and speeches.

-----Rika's Comment-----

By showing it before the bride's letter, we could watch it together with the guests and directly see the reactions of our parents and family. Additionally, it helped to smoothly transition the atmosphere from casual conversations to the letter reading. ☺️✨

------------------------------

Indeed, when the bride and groom watch the movie together, they can see the reactions of the guests who watched it. By incorporating the movie instead of jumping straight to the bride's letter, it can create a smooth flow into the final part.

The climax of the reception is likely to become even more emotional! ♡

What Are the Pros and Cons of Showing the Profile Movie at the End of the Reception?

I considered some additional pros and cons of showing the childhood movie at the end of the reception. *

<Pros>

✅ Creating an emotional atmosphere by connecting the childhood movie with the bride's letter

✅ The bride and groom also watch the movie, allowing them to understand the guests' reactions

✅ Easier to create a contrast between a serious first half, a fun second half, and an emotional finale...

✅ The intermission allows guests to converse leisurely

<Cons>

✅ Cannot provide content to guests while the bride and groom are away

✅ Less time to take photos and chat with guests, as they are watching the movie together

Showing the Movie at the End of the Reception *

I introduced the idea of screening the profile movie or childhood movie at the end of the reception (before the bride's letter).

Personally, I think the flow of watching the profile movie and then reading the bride's letter is really good.

It is standard to show the movie when the bride and groom are away, but it can be challenging to watch the movie while eating (I want to watch the movie closely!), and I’ve experienced several times where the food served during the showing gets cold. I feel that screening the movie after the guests have finished their meals is a better approach from the guests' perspective as well. *

Although there are a few cons mentioned, personally, they didn’t bother me (rather, I was truly impressed that showing it at the end is really good), and I hope many people will adopt this idea! ♡
