This time, I will introduce essential requests for guests that ensure the wedding ceremony proceeds smoothly.＊

Request from Guests ① Reception

First, let’s determine which guests will be in charge of the reception.♡ It's best to ask two friends each from the groom and bride's circles, totaling four guests.＊

Since they need to arrive earlier than anyone else, remember to ask friends who live close to the venue.＊*

Request from Guests ② Greetings and Toast

At the beginning of the reception, the guest of honor will first give a greeting and propose a toast.＊ It’s best to ask someone in a senior position, as they represent the guests.♩

The guest of honor is typically a senior colleague of the groom, a mentor, or an elder who is a mutual acquaintance of the couple.＊

Request from Guests ③ Speeches and Entertainment

Speaking of receptions, speeches and entertainment are essential!＊ It’s good to ask two guests (or pairs) from each side - the groom and bride - to handle these duties.♡

Request from Guests ④ After Party Organizers

If you plan to have an after party, ask guests to be the organizers.＊ The after party organizers have a lot of responsibilities, such as choosing the venue, coordinating, and managing the event, so it's best to ask someone you trust and have a good relationship with.♩

Try to ask for a group of 3-5 organizers, to avoid putting too much burden on just one person. When asking from both the groom's and bride's sides, it’s best to choose someone social and outgoing.＊
