Enhancing Table Rounds: What's the Right Timing to Hand Over 'Pose Cards'?

[Wedding Reception Performance] When is the Right Time to Hand Out Pose Cards?

An event where the bride and groom visit each guest table after the outfit change to take photos, known as Table Rounds (Photo Rounds)＊

To avoid ending up with only peace signs in the photos, many brides are now making handmade "pose cards" that specify poses!

By preparing pose cards with various themes, you can capture unique and lively photos,

and it’s also fun for the guests ♡ Everyone gets into it and strikes the specified poses＊

So, at what point during the wedding reception is it best to hand out these pose cards to guests...?

Since table rounds can easily run over time with guests chatting,

efficiently distributing pose cards quickly is a key point＊

This time, I will introduce three good timing options for handing out pose cards to guests during the wedding reception♩

Timing to Hand Out Pose Cards ① Directly from the Bride and Groom

The most common idea is for the bride and groom to directly hand out pose cards to guests＊

Turn the cards face down and have guests draw one like in a game of Old Maid♩

For guests, it’s exciting to see what pose they’ll get, and they’ll appreciate the close interaction with the bride and groom♡

If you want to take photos with everyone in different poses, have each person draw a pose card individually♩

Conversely, if you want everyone to strike the same pose, have a representative draw a pose card instead＊

By the way, a quick way to choose the representative is for the bride and groom to randomly pick someone,

but selecting the person with the earliest birthday or the oldest guest can spark interesting conversations♩

Timing to Hand Out Pose Cards ② From the Staff

It’s also recommended to have staff distribute pose cards while the bride and groom are away for their outfit change＊

In this case, guests will know the poses beforehand, creating a flow where they can inform the bride and groom about the poses, which is a nice touch◎

Additionally, handing out pose cards during the mingling time helps save time, giving a little extra time for photo sessions, which is great♡

Timing to Hand Out Pose Cards ③ Behind the Table Number

Lastly, here’s an idea to hide poses on the back of the table numbers beforehand＊

Then, just before the bride and groom make their rounds, have the MC announce that poses are hidden there♩

This will surprise guests, and since you only need to print the design on the back of the table numbers, it’s an easy DIY!

It saves effort and is a two-for-one deal♡

Make Your Own Pose Cards to Liven Up the Venue＊

To enhance the popular reception event, Table Rounds (Photo Rounds), pose cards are essential＊

While it’s important to pay attention to design, let’s also think carefully about the timing for handing out pose cards so you can enjoy a fun time together♡
