Surprisingly Varied! 7 Ways to Represent the Groom's and Bride's Sides on Reception Signs

What Kind of Reception Sign Should We Create?

When it comes to essential items for a wedding, the reception sign is a must.

It is meant to help divide the guests into the groom's side and the bride's side during the reception.

While the venue usually provides it, brides who are particular about decorations often choose to make one themselves or buy one that matches their taste.

However, whether you have it provided by the venue or bring your own, what you need to decide on is "the wording"!

Recently, trendy reception signs often use the terms groom and bride, but some may feel that such stylish options don't match their personality, or prefer something different from everyone else.

Reception Sign Wording Method ① Bride & Groom

Reception Sign Wording Method ② ○○ Family

Dividing by family name (surname) is also a standard. It has a slightly formal feel.

Reception Sign Wording Method ③ GROOM & BRIDE

Using the English terms GROOM and BRIDE gives a stylish image.

While it does have a fashionable vibe, it may be unclear to first-time wedding guests or a larger crowd of older guests.

It might be considerate to include "Groom's Side" and "Bride's Side" in Japanese in smaller text.
