Would you do a first touch?

Joey, on April 11, 2018 at 08:05 Posted in Before the wedding 0 14

You've heard of a first look, but have you heard of doing a first touch? That's when you and your partner spend a special moment together before the ceremony, but don't see each other until you meet at your ceremony. It's sort of the best of both worlds!

Are you going to do a first touch? What do you think of the trend?

    I LOVE the first touch idea! Especially if its around a moment say you are reading a letter from each other!

    Not sure if it will work for us in our church but I will try and fight for it haha!

    We didn't do anything like this before our wedding. I liked the idea of everything being a surprise until the ceremony and so did my husband.

    I've never heard of this! My FH and I have agreed we dont want the first look because we really want everyone to be able to share in that moment with us but I love this idea!! Thanks for sharing!

    That's a nice idea, but won't be for us. My FH wants to keep the full surprise for the first look at the altar!

    We will be doing a first touch we aren’t doing first look. But I want to be able to talk to him before the ceremony so the plan is too hold hands with the door their and we can just say a couple things before we get married.

    Yes we are! We are definitely not doing a first look, we both agree that it will be more special waiting for the actual ceremony so instead we will do the "first touch" to kind of calm our nerves and it will make a sweet and romantic moment. Not to mention how adorable the pictures always turn out!

    Due to our timeline (winter wedding, daylight hours for photos) we are doing a first look and photos pre-ceremony. But if we weren't, I have always loved these photos and would most likely be doing them.

    We will definitely be doing something like this. We are both getting ready in separate suites in the same hotel so we'll likely have our parties set us up on either side of a door or pillar. We may also exchange letters. It's definitely a moment I'm excited for.

    It's a sweet idea but definitely not for us. We're doing a first look since we're going to be taking all of our pictures beforehand.

    Yeah! We’re not doing a first look, but we’ll do a first touch! We’re going to pray together before the ceremony.

    Awe it’s a sweet idea but we aren’t doing it. We won’t see each other or touch until the ceremony. After the ceremony we plan to take 10 mins alone.

    We’re doing it! We’re actually going to have our wedding party with us and our pastor is going to say a prayer before. I scoped out the place and looks like the best place is if I’m in the reception hall and we crack the door open a bit and hold hands through there

    Defiantly! It’s going to be such an emotional experience, having a first touch would have such a calming effect.
