You Will Definitely Regret Not Making a "Program for the Meeting of Both Families" ♡

A "program for the meeting of both families" is simply a schedule or program that outlines the flow of the day and greetings.

Having this helps share the purpose of the "Meeting of Both Families," can serve as conversation topics, and helps manage time—a lot of benefits!!

Here are some contents that couples should definitely consider including in their "program for the meeting of both families."

Content 1: Greetings

It is common sense to write a "greeting" on the first page of the program.

It is recommended to include three messages: ① Thank you for coming, ② The purpose of the meeting, and ③ Enjoy yourselves!

Decide with your partner on whether to use a polite and formal tone or a slightly more casual style, taking your families' personalities into consideration.♡

Content 2: Flow of the Day

Next, outline the schedule for the day—this is how a typical "Meeting of Both Families" would go:

① Opening Greetings

② Introduction of Both Families

③ Filling out the marriage paperwork, etc.

④ Commemorative Photos

⑤ Toast

⑥ Meals & Conversation

⑦ Closing Remarks

It might be thoughtful to also note the expected end time.＊

Content 3: Everyone's Profiles

Even though you might set aside time to introduce both families verbally, it’s easy to forget ages or professions just from spoken introductions. Constantly asking "What was your profession again?" can be tiresome!

Thus, it’s recommended to write down basic information—like hobbies, personalities, and alma maters—in the profile section. This will help spark conversations.♩

Of course, the profiles of the bride and groom, the main stars of the event, should be featured prominently.＊

Content 4: The Bride and Groom's Love Story

Although family members might know somewhat of the story, adding the couple's love story to the program is a lovely idea.♡

Family members might find themselves excitedly discussing things like, "So you were dating in that year!" or "I didn't know that about Dad!"＊

Content 5: Information About the Wedding (Wedding Date, Reception Venue, Planner, etc.)

This might be the most important information! It pertains to the upcoming schedule concerning the wedding.

They’ll likely have questions like: What date was the wedding set for? What is the reception venue like? Who is the wedding planner? How many guests are you inviting? Is there anything the family should prepare?

Therefore, it’s important to include basic information about the wedding in the "program for the meeting of both families." ◎

Content 6: Old Photos

After including all the basic information, if there is extra space in the program, pasting in old photos would be a nice touch. This could lead to nostalgic conversations about childhood memories. ♩

Content 7: Closing Remarks + Contact Information for the Couple

On the last page of the "program for the meeting of both families," it's a good idea to write closing remarks to express your desire for a lasting relationship.

Additionally, don’t forget to include the couple's current address and contact information. Exchanging LINE contacts could also be well-received.♡
