Wedding Gift for Parents: Portraits Are Popular ♡

At the end of the reception, after the bride reads her letter, the heartfelt "parents' gift" is handed over.

Among the gifts, portraits are particularly popular with the bride and groom.

A one-of-a-kind portrait accompanied by a message of gratitude is warm and perfect for conveying feelings.

It's not something anyone can buy anywhere, and it conveys that it is something the bride and groom prepared especially, which seems to impress the parents greatly.

Brides who chose portraits as gifts for their parents have shared that "they cried tears of joy" and "they are displaying it proudly at home even after the wedding," which is highly praised ♩

How is a Portrait Actually Created?

Many prospective brides must be thinking, "I want to give a portrait as a gift at my wedding too!"

However, once they start looking into ordering,

☑ What if it doesn’t match my expectations when it arrives?

Once you have selected the product to order, you will specify various details about how you want the design to be on the site.

The most important thing is the "style of the portrait"!

At 'Kotoba no Presents', you can choose from seven styles, including a warm and cute atmosphere, anime-like, and deformed representations ♡

Even the same person can have a completely different atmosphere depending on the style of the portrait＊

It’s a nice point that you can decide on the finishing touches yourself rather than leaving it all to the artist◎

In addition to the style of the portrait,

☑ the parents' clothing

☑ the background design

☑ the central title text

can also be freely specified and chosen at no cost.

Additionally, it's possible to include a beloved family pet or add more characters.

[Parents' Gift] Steps to Creating a Portrait ③ Creation Based on Your Order

Once you have entered the detailed design order on the site, it's time to start production! First, an original name poem will be created from the parents' names.

At 'Kotoba no Presents', you can also convey your feelings and messages towards your parents when placing your order and have them create the name poem based on that.

The name poem that combines the parents' names and your feelings seems to move many brides and grooms saying, "I can't believe such beautiful words came together!" ♡

Regarding the portrait, the artist will create each one based on the provided photos.

It's exciting to wonder what kind of portrait will be completed.

[Parents' Gift] Steps to Creating a Portrait ④ Confirmation and Revision

Once the name poem and portrait are finished, the data will be sent via email. You can check the completed state before the product reaches you, which is reassuring.

When you view the name poem and portrait sent to you, if there’s anything you dislike, you can request a revision in response to the email.

For example, in the case of this [Portrait Name Poem], let’s say you communicated that you want "to make mom look a little younger."

Here’s the revised portrait! You can see that mom’s outline has been slightly slimmed down and the wrinkles have become less noticeable ♡

It’s impressive that they are willing to adjust based on detailed requests rather than just declaring "it’s done".

Moreover, 'Kotoba no Presents' offers a reassuring guarantee that they will make free revisions until you are satisfied with the design! If you are not satisfied after all the revisions, you can receive a refund or cancel the order at that point.

It's great to be able to be particular about a gift for your important parents at a once-in-a-lifetime wedding ♡
