When, How, and What to Write in the Bride's Letter?

Writing a bride's letter can take surprisingly long, so it’s best to prepare well in advance＊ Many brides avoid writing it the day before the wedding♡ (to prevent puffy eyes...) It's not uncommon for brides to become emotional and cry while writing, reminiscing about all their memories.

The words of gratitude vary from person to person, and the length of the letter depends on discussions with the planner, but generally, a length of around 600 characters is safe, and up to 800 characters is acceptable◎ It’s recommended to adjust the reading time to about 2-3 minutes!
