The Day Before the Wedding: Let's Execute the "One-Word Phone Strategy"♡

To warmly and happily welcome the wedding day, actions taken the day before are very important♡ While spending a peaceful time with family and your partner is wonderful, there’s something the bride should do during the day or evening when there's time! It's called the "One-Word Phone Strategy"♡

Let’s Make Phone Calls to Those Who Will Help Us♡

The "One-Word Phone Strategy" involves making phone calls to the matchmaker, main guests, and friends or superiors who will handle the reception and other duties, giving a brief greeting♡ Of course, it’s essential to greet them in advance as a matter of common sense and etiquette, but making these calls the day before creates effective benefits too＊

Benefits of the One-Word Phone Strategy on the Day Before: ① Final Confirmation

Among the guests who have been asked to be the main guests, give speeches, or handle the reception and entertainment, there may be people who don’t remember or are not clear about the meeting time, the flow of the ceremony, or when their turn is! By calling and confirming these details verbally, you prevent any mistakes from the guests♡

It's also recommended to ask guests if they have any questions or concerns they want to clarify♡

Benefits of the One-Word Phone Strategy on the Day Before: ② Expressing Gratitude

No matter how many times you express your thanks in writing, you can’t be sure the recipient fully understands it…! That’s why the ability to directly express your feelings of gratitude during the "One-Word Phone Strategy" is one of its attractions♩
