I Want to Express My Gratitude to My Parents Who Raised Me.
A wedding is a very special day that the bride and groom, as well as their families, will never forget. The vows taken during the ceremony symbolize not only the couple's union but also their independence from the parents who raised them.
In Japanese wedding receptions, it is common to express gratitude by giving a bouquet or gifts to parents along with the bride's letter.
While expressing gratitude face-to-face in front of everyone is wonderful, there might be brides who feel, "I want to express my feelings in a more straightforward, casual, and personal way."
The Wonderful Parent Gifts for Overseas Weddings ♡
The answer lies in overseas weddings ♡ Overseas brides have wonderful ways to express their sincere feelings to their parents.
One of these methods is to give a 'wedding handkerchief' embroidered with a message ♡ This is a standard gift for parents in overseas weddings.
It seems that wedding handkerchiefs are presented as a surprise on the wedding day. They may be handed over on the morning of the wedding day or placed at the reception table.
What kind of designs evoke tears from parents when they see these wedding handkerchiefs? ♡
Here are some wonderful wedding handkerchiefs found on overseas Instagram *(and they can be purchased from a site called "Esty," so they can be incorporated into weddings in Japan too!)*

The second one is a wedding handkerchief given from the bride to her father ♡ It has the message: "Yesterday, today, forever, I love you! Today I'm a bride, but from tomorrow I will be a wife, yet I will always be your daughter." If a daughter were to receive such a message as she gets married, it would be impossible not to shed tears! ♡
