Surprisingly Confusing! Order of Names in the End Roll① Host ⇒ Family (Mixed Bride and Groom)

The first method we're introducing is to start with the host and senior acquaintances, then move on to family members—displaying them mixed between the groom and bride＊ Here, the names are displayed in a mixed order of the bride and groom◎

The order of names will be as follows: [Groom's Host (mentor or someone who gave a congratulatory speech) ⇒ Bride's Host ⇒ Groom's Boss, Senior, Colleagues ⇒ Bride's Boss, Senior, Colleagues ⇒ Groom's Friends ⇒ Bride's Friends ⇒ Groom's Relatives ⇒ Bride's Relatives ⇒ Groom's Family ⇒ Bride's Family]＊

If there are no hosts, or in the case of company-related guests, many brides choose not to separate the hosts♩

This method allows you to show consideration for senior guests and end with an emotional message to the parents, which is recommended♡

Surprisingly Confusing! Order of Names in the End Roll② Host ⇒ Family (Separate Bride and Groom)

The next method we're introducing is a version where, as before, you start with the host and senior acquaintances, but the groom and bride are listed separately＊

The order of names will be as follows: [Groom's Host (mentor or someone who gave a congratulatory speech) ⇒ Groom's Boss, Senior, Colleagues ⇒ Groom's Friends ⇒ Groom's Relatives ⇒ Groom's Family ⇒ Bride's Host ⇒ Bride's Boss, Senior, Colleagues ⇒ Bride's Friends ⇒ Bride's Relatives ⇒ Bride's Family]＊
