Too Cute to Resist: "Name Place Cards" That Double as Adorable Decorations!

2018.07.10 published

The name as a plate is stylish.

This name-shaped name card often spotted at overseas weddings is super stylish, isn't it? ♡

It's such an innovative idea to have the name as the name card...!

I named it 【Name Card】 ♡

It's gradually gaining popularity in Japan recently, so it feels a bit awkward to call without a name...

So I decided to give it a name ♩

From now on, I will refer to it as 【Name Card】 ♡

How are Name Cards made?

There are primarily two types of name cards ♩

One is a name card made of wood. This card can be made using a laser cutter.＊

The other one is a name card made of acrylic. This can be created using a 3D printer ♩

Where can you use laser cutters and 3D printers?

You can create name cards with a laser cutter or a 3D printer, but most brides probably don’t own one.

Therefore, it’s recommended to make them in places where you can use laser cutters or 3D printers.＊

A well-known place in Tokyo to use a laser cutter is coromo in Shibuya.

➡ Here is coromo's website＊

For using 3D printers, fabcafe is famous.＊

There are also places throughout the country where you can use them, so try searching for "laser cutter or 3D printer available places in (your area)" ♡

You can also buy it on the overseas handmade marketplace "Etsy"＊

However, to be honest, doing DIY by yourself can be tough, tedious, and if there isn’t a place nearby to use the machines...

You can purchase them from the overseas handmade marketplace "Etsy" too ♩

They are sold starting at around 100 yen each, so brides who can speak English and have some time before the wedding might want to consider ordering ♩

➡ Buy name cards on Etsy＊

It would be great if they could be easily purchased in Japan in the future ♩

Name cards seem to be increasingly popular in the future ♡

A name card where the guest's name is the card itself seems likely to become increasingly popular in Japan ♩

Making it by yourself might be a bit challenging, but it will surely become a wonderful item filled with your thoughts＊

I would love to see more handmade name cards from Japanese brides, so if you make one, please include the hashtag "#Name Card" when posting on Instagram! ♡
