"Groom's Letter: A Touching Way for Grooms to Express Gratitude to Their Parents at the Wedding Reception"

Is it only the bride who expresses gratitude to her parents?

When we think of the most emotional scene in a wedding, it has to be... "the bride's letter," right?

The moment when the bride reads a tearful letter of gratitude to her parents who raised her is a moment that touches the hearts of all the guests. It's a scene filled with warm family love.

But wait a minute. The groom is also entering this new chapter of life alongside the bride. The groom must also want to express gratitude to his parents who have raised him.

Let's include a scene for "the groom's letter" ♩

While there is a final moment for the groom's thank-you speech, the main focus is on conveying appreciation to the guests who came. It's difficult to express overflowing gratitude to his parents in this short time...!

Thus, more and more grooms are choosing to read "the groom's letter."

Let's ensure the groom articulates his gratitude to the parents who raised him.

The groom's letter can be before or after the bride's letter ♡

Many brides might wonder if it’s better for the groom's letter to be read before or after the bride's letter, but there's no set order for reading the letters, so either is fine.

It’s perfectly fine to have the groom read his letter first and then follow up with the bride's letter, or to add a surprise element by having the groom read his letter after the bride’s letter!

Thank your parents in any order you prefer.

(There was even a bride who had the bittersweet story of feeling overshadowed by the groom's touching letter (?!). So consider the order carefully! ◎)

If the groom feels embarrassed, the idea of a "certificate of appreciation from the groom" works too ◎

For grooms who find reading a letter too embarrassing... some have staged a reading of a "certificate of appreciation" to their mothers.

A certificate of appreciation allows the groom to convey gratitude succinctly! This is a perfect idea for shy grooms to emulate ♩

The groom's parents will be incredibly happy ♡

The emotional element of "the groom's letter" is that it brings immense joy to the groom's parents, which is a wonderful aspect.

For instance, one story shared is that the groom's mother thought, "With two sons, there will never be a chance for them to read a letter like this," and was overjoyed!

Many shared sentiments like, "Did you recommend this letter, XX (the bride)? It was truly a joy and it’s a wonderful keepsake. Thank you."

There are moments in the wedding where the bride expresses gratitude to her parents, but since there aren’t any for the groom, this gesture is very well-received!
