Kickstarting Conversations: The Key to Creating "Shiori" and "Profile Books" for Family Meeting Dinners♡

2016.04.19 published

Once your marriage is decided, let's hold a "meeting between both families" ＊

The "meeting between both families" is a casual gathering to inform both families about the intention to get married, rather than a formal engagement ceremony called "Yuinou."

It is characterized by its emphasis on deepening the relationship between both families without the formality of a ritual ♩

When, where, and what to do for the "meeting between both families"?

This gathering is typically held about six months to three months before the wedding.

The main focus is on dining and chatting with the couple's parents and siblings gathered together for the occasion ♡

In preparation, decide in advance the dining location, menu, dress code, and whether or not to exchange engagement gifts according to the preferences and customs of both families ♡

Listening to the wishes of both parents is a very important point!

The gathering is held in a formal restaurant or a traditional inn. It can be very nerve-wracking if both families are meeting for the first time.
