So this time, we will introduce how to write the greeting message for the seating chart and profile book. ♡

*Points to Note When Writing a Greeting Message*

Before introducing examples of greeting messages, let's look at some points to keep in mind when writing one. *

① Avoid using bad luck words ➡ Words that have negative connotations, such as "to break" or "to separate," should be avoided.

➡ Check out how to identify "bad luck words" to avoid at weddings *

② Be cautious with certain kanji ➡ For example, since the kanji for "busy" contains the character for "death," it's best to avoid it (use hiragana or say "ご多用").

③ Do not use punctuation marks ➡ Punctuation marks like "、" and "。" imply a break, which is considered unfavorable, so try to avoid them.

When writing your profile book, be mindful of these three points first. *

*Flow of Writing a Greeting Message*

When writing a greeting message, it can be broadly divided into five sections.

① Thank you for coming

☑ Thank you very much for gathering here today despite your busy schedules for us.

② Current feelings

☑ Surrounded by the blessings of our dear friends and family, we are incredibly happy to welcome this wonderful day.

③ Original message

☑ We have prepared delicious food and drinks, so please relax and enjoy yourselves today.

④ Future ambitions

☑ Although we are still inexperienced, we will support each other and work to build a happy family.

⑤ Looking forward to your continued support

☑ We look forward to maintaining our relationship with you for many more years to come.
