Pose cards are essential for photo rounds!*

A classic wedding reception performance, table rounds, involves the bride and groom visiting each table to take photos with everyone.*

During this photo round, what we often see in reports from recent brides is

"When I look back, all the pictures from each table ended up being the same peace sign... I wish I had taken more interesting poses for the memories..."

Based on these regrets, the idea of creating 'pose cards' has recently become popular among brides ♡

The 'pose cards' that have instructions printed like, "If you draw this card, please pose like this!" provide a fun touch for guests, like a lottery drawing. It allows guests to confidently pose without hesitation, thinking "I just need to strike this pose now!" which is really convenient ♩

It’s also a great point that the group photos at each guest table will be more lively and colorful! ♡

So if you're doing a photo round at your wedding reception, DIY pose cards are absolutely essential!*

In this article, we will introduce poses you want to include in your pose cards by [category].*

Pose Card 1 *Comedy-style

Well-known comedy poses that everyone recognizes are a must for livening up the atmosphere, so you definitely want to include some of these!*

Including a mix of recent hits and slightly older ones will give you more variation, so this is recommended ♡

It would also be fun to encourage guests who draw a comedy pose card with phrases like "Go all out with your posing!" ♩

[Recommended Designated Poses]

☑ The signature pose from Buruzon Shinpu with B

☑ Saito-san dazo pose

Pose Card 2 *Cute-style

You also want to mix in cute poses that are trending among high school girls, perfect for social media ♡
