What are some alternatives to the bride's letter? ♡

When it comes to the climax of the wedding reception, it's the bride reading her feelings and gratitude to her parents, known as the [bride's letter], right?＊

However, there are brides who feel differently!

"Reading a letter is embarrassing...", "I'm a bit uncomfortable with my voice on a microphone...", "I don't like the tear-jerking atmosphere...", "I want to end the reception with laughter rather than tears!" and so on...

Yes, while the [bride's letter] has been traditionally performed at weddings, recently there is a growing trend to respect each bride's individual feelings and convey gratitude and emotions in alternative ways that do not involve a letter. ♡

So this time, let's introduce some alternatives to the bride's letter!＊

Alternative performance ① Play a thank-you movie

A thank-you movie that conveys gratitude to family and guests is a trendy visual presentation lately. ♡ It’s recommended to include messages for specific people within the movie.＊

Since it serves as an alternative to the bride's letter, many people create a slideshow of old photos set to their parents' favorite songs. ♡

Alternative performance ② Have someone read it on your behalf

There are probably many who find reading their letter embarrassing but think their parents expect the bride's letter...＊

In such cases, asking the emcee or a close friend to read it on your behalf is a great option! A letter read by a third party can feel fresh and nice too. ♩

Alternative performance ③ Give a gift with a message

You typically give gifts like bouquets or letters of appreciation for raising you to your parents, right?＊

If you attach a message card or letter to that gift, your parents will surely read it later and feel delighted. ♡＊

Alternative performance ④ Introduce your parents

The idea of introducing your parents to the guests without reading a letter is also unique but wonderful! ♡

For example, you could say, "My mother has a personality like this, and she raised me this way. My memories with my father include..." This way, you can speak to all the guests, and your parents will likely feel proud. ♡

Alternative performance ⑤ Showcase a special talent

Finally, here's an idea of showcasing a special talent instead of reading a letter.＊ You often see brides playing the piano or singing on Instagram, right? ♡

Watching their daughter display her talent since childhood could bring joy to the parents as they realize how much she has grown. ♩

It's okay if it's not just a letter! ♡

How was that? We introduced five alternatives to the bride's letter.＊

Choosing not to read a letter is a courageous decision, I believe...! But above all, your parents probably know your personality the best. ♡

Why not freely express your gratitude to your parents and guests in a way that you think is wonderful? ♡
