I Want to Prepare a Wedding Timeline ♡

One of the paper items for the wedding, the “Wedding Timeline” ♡

It’s a piece of paper that clearly illustrates the flow of the wedding day, which can be sent to guests with the invitations or handed out at the reception.

It's a staple in overseas weddings but still quite rare in Japan, making it an item that can surprise guests with a “I’ve never seen this before!” ♡

It's not just stylish.

It allows guests to grasp the flow of the day in advance, so they won’t get lost during transitions, making it very convenient!

It’s especially appreciated when there are many location changes – such as for the ceremony, reception, and after-party – or when many guests are coming from afar.

In this article, we introduce sample designs for wedding timelines.

From designs that look easy to make by hand to more elaborate ones, find something you’d like to emulate ♡

At the bottom of the timeline, there’s an attention about wedding gifts. (In overseas customs, guests typically give gifts based on the couple’s wish lists ♡)

If there are details you’d like to communicate to guests that don’t need to be written in the formal invitation, you could include them in the wedding timeline like this.

This is a tall wedding timeline. The heart mark at the top is made by stamping the couple's thumbs.

It turns out that vertical designs are actually easier to balance and create than horizontal ones ♩

There’s even a wedding timeline with a design similar to a game board. It starts with the ceremony and ends with "happily ever after," which is wonderful ♡

Printing it on craft paper adds a casual and stylish touch ◎

For brides who are good at illustrations, a completely hand-drawn wedding timeline could be a nice option ♡ You just have to mimic each icon, so it seems doable!

A wedding timeline with both hand-drawn text and illustrations has a warm touch ♡
