Today, I sorted out some "new ways" to thank my parents at the wedding, hoping to make them cry less and laugh more!
Look for parents first
I saw a bride give her parents a look in Little Red Book, and I thought it was a great idea. Actually, I miss Amway very much, not only with my husband, but also with my parents!
If gauze is a wedding dress, the first visit to parents can be arranged on the morning of the wedding when the groom is fully dressed, so it is best to leave you and your parents a few minutes. If you go out in Hanfu, you can arrange to meet your parents and talk to each other a few minutes before the ceremony.
Record a thank you video in advance.
If you are afraid that it is difficult to control your emotions during the live broadcast, you can also record a gratitude video in advance, attach photos of your childhood growth or parents, and match it with background music that is meaningful to you or dubbing explanations of newcomers. Play it directly at the wedding scene to show the true feelings between parents and children for the guests. If there is a video playback arrangement for the growth of new people, it is suggested that it can be modified and integrated with the video of this link to avoid the long process.
Interview parents and elders
Marriage is the top priority in the family. In addition to parents, many relatives and elders must have many blessings and instructions to say. At the wedding scene, the host can conduct simple interviews with parents, relatives and elders, or answer questions quickly in private and edit them into a video of about two minutes. The choice of questions can be warm and lively, such as: the impression of children and parents on each other, the most unforgettable thing, the most grateful thing, etc.
Take care of dad's emotions when handing over.
A bride said that at the wedding, when her father held his hand and walked to her husband, she was very anxious to walk to her husband and directly shook off her father's hand. Then I thought about how much it hurt my father's heart. The moment when dad wants to let go most is also the moment when dad is most reluctant! Don't rush to find your husband. We can hug him with our husband or hold his hand hard. Such a small detail will make him feel your love.
Choose a suit carefully for them.
In fact, it is not only necessary to do something on the wedding day, but also to express it when preparing to get married. For example, choose formal clothes for mom and dad. In fact, mom and dad also love beauty. When we prepare equipment for ourselves, they will be very happy if we consider them, which is also to prepare for the photo shoot on the wedding day.
Give your parents a heart-warming gift.
You can give your parents what they always want to buy but don't want to buy, and satisfy their wishes. A jewel that has been treasured for a long time, an antique object that I want to buy but I am reluctant to buy. Or have a good symbolic gift, such as skin care products, nightgowns, flowers and so on. Or a nostalgic gift that once left a deep impression on the memory. Gifts are not expensive, nor are they in form, but in mind. Here are some suggestions on what gifts to give parents: some practical gifts: send a package tour to let parents go out to play, which they are usually reluctant to give up. You can send cashmere sweaters or scarves or massage chairs in winter, which is very good in life. Or customize gifts: customize your photos, words, etc. Become a gift for your parents. I think it's best to send some thoughtful gifts: record a small video and give it to them on CD.
The couple make presents together.
If you want to give a thoughtful and creative gift, the couple had better make a unique Thanksgiving gift for their parents. It can be a customized necklace, or a bottle of red wine for parents' birthday or wedding anniversary, with a greeting card written by yourself. If possible, you can also edit a follow-up video of 1-2 minutes, which will not only avoid the trouble of being embarrassed to say disgusting words on the spot, but also arouse the interest of the guests and not delay the process.
Sing a song for parents
You combine the nursery rhymes sung by your parents since childhood, or the words you often repeat, into lines of lyrics that reveal the truth. With the help of the music producer, you can complete an ingenious creation and performance of lyrics and songs. Parents' hearts will be filled with happiness when they receive this "unique gratitude" from their children.
Guess who he (she) is
I have worked hard for my children for half my life, and my parents' temples may have been frosted and my youth is gone. The years that passed in a hurry quietly left a mark on his eyes or palm.
Thanksgiving link can be added to the guessing game. For example, a new person is blindfolded and can only guess his parents by touching his palm. You can also mix the photos of your parents as a child with those of your relatives and elders, and let the couple guess which one is what your parents looked like as a child.
In addition, I think we can pay attention to the following points:
1 First of all, we must understand the wishes of parents, especially the links that need electricity. After all, parents are the protagonists of gratitude. Don't put your parents on the stage or put too many subjective wishes in pursuit of results.
2. If parents are shy, try to communicate with the host and choose a way that doesn't need to go on stage. You can record the video in advance or give it away.
3. Pay attention to time control. Thanksgiving link should not be too long. Generally, the setting of gratitude link is after couples profess to kiss. When guiding the gratitude session, the words should be as natural as possible, from the time when the host introduces both parents to the end of gratitude, it is best to finish it within 3-5 minutes.
4. Pay attention to the choice of forms to avoid the overlap of gratitude forms and other links, such as videos. Repetitive expressions can simplify or merge processes.
The most precious and rare thing at a wedding is the collection of all good feelings, the beautiful wedding dress and beautiful scenes at the wedding, the love between the couple, the affection between parents and children, and the friendship between girlfriends and friends. So, in addition to love, please let the warm affection be expressed on this day.
