The Climax Performance of the Wedding Reception, "Bride's Letter"*

The "Bride's Letter," where the bride expresses her gratitude to her father and mother, is a popular and traditional performance at receptions.♡

The scene where the bride reads her letter is considered the climax of the reception, and it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s the moment when guests and family shed the most tears.

I find myself in tears at every wedding I attend…!

On the wedding day, I'm anxious about whether I can read it properly…

Since it's a letter I've worked hard on, I want to read it beautifully! However, many brides might be worried about whether they can read it well on the day.

With so many guests watching, you might feel so nervous that your hands or voice start shaking.

While reading, emotions may rise, leading to hiccuping or crying, making it hard to continue…

The sight of a bride getting emotional can also connect with the guests, but still, a bride hopes to read the letter smoothly without getting stuck.

This time, I will introduce some tips on how to read the bride's letter well.♩

Tips for Reading the Bride's Letter Well ① Practice at Home*

Once you finish writing the letter, try practicing reading it out loud at home. Stand as you would on the day and read it in a loud voice◎

By repeating it many times, you should be able to read it smoothly without stumbling. Since the flow is already in your head, you can prevent moments of feeling nervous, having your mind go blank, and losing your voice…

As you read aloud, you'll also notice points that are hard to pronounce or difficult to read.♡

Tips for Reading the Bride's Letter Well ② Include Humorous Points*

Incorporating some amusing anecdotes into the letter is also recommended. If the content is only deeply emotional, as you continue reading, emotions may escalate, leading to tears and potential difficulty in reading!

By including funny stories or heartwarming content, you can help control the urge to cry and even bring a smile to your face◎

Let’s aim to write a letter that has both tears and laughter, creating a nice balance of emotions.♡

Tips for Reading the Bride's Letter Well ③ Be Conscious of Breathing and Deep Breaths*

When people are nervous, they tend to speak quickly without realizing it.

While reading a letter in front of all the guests, it's easy to become fast-paced due to nerves and pressure. Speaking too quickly can lead to stumbling over words and ruining those precious emotional moments.

When reading the bride's letter, take a big deep breath and make sure to pause for breath between sentences. Always be aware of taking a breath.

Reading the bride's letter slowly and calmly enhances the emotional impact.♡

Tips for Reading the Bride's Letter Well ④ Get Support from Him

A must-have when reading the bride's letter is support from your partner♡ Not only holding the microphone but also placing a hand on your waist or offering a handkerchief can be very comforting.

Many brides look back and say how reassuring it was to have him close during the reading!

For example, let him know you would like him to gently prompt you if you get stuck, or to pat your back if you start to cry.

Since finding the right position for the microphone can be tricky, it's good to practice together at home beforehand.♩

Tips for Reading the Bride's Letter Well ⑤ Show a Movie

For brides who are still anxious about whether they can read it well, here’s a perfect idea♩

During the reading of the bride's letter, you can display a slideshow of memorable pictures with family using a projector.

This will help draw some focus away from you, thus slightly easing your nervousness, while the power of visuals adds to the emotional scene.♡

A slideshow of just pictures can easily be created using free video editing software that comes installed on your PC, so definitely give it a try!*
