The King of Paper Items, the Profile Book ♡

The profile book is the king of paper items that many brides put the most effort into preparing for their weddings.

This evolved item from the seating chart is a booklet that not only includes the seating arrangement but also the profiles of the bride and groom, messages to guests, and information about the reception's food and drinks all in one book.

There are two ways to prepare a profile book: handmade and custom order.

Regardless of which option you choose, it's essential to think about the "structure" of the profile book.

Structure refers to what content is included on each page.

Since the profile book is created according to the content the bride and groom want to include, there is no definitive right structure.

Anyone can prepare a one-of-a-kind profile book that reflects their own style ♡

However,

many people who have attended weddings may not have received a profile book or might have no idea what content to include....

In this article, we will introduce common content based on the standard number of pages in a profile book ♡

For those who are fine with minimal information ♡ Content and structure of a [4-page] profile book

The minimum number of pages for a profile book is 4 pages. It might be more accurate to describe it as a large card rather than a booklet.

(Folding a single sheet of paper creates 4 surfaces♩)

There is a cover and a back cover, and when opened, there is a double-page seating list inside.

Recommended for those who want to elevate a simple seating chart to the next level!

Just the right amount of information ♡ Content and structure of an [8-page] profile book

A saddle-stitched booklet increases its page count every 4 pages (because folding a single sheet of paper results in 4 surfaces).

So, after the 4-page profile book made from one sheet of paper, the next is the 8-page profile book made with 2 sheets.

Just adding one more sheet doubles the page count!

The 8-page profile book is the most standard number of pages for a profile.

In an 8-page book, it’s common to place a greeting page with pre-wedding photos after the cover.

The profile page will include detailed profiles of the couple in a substantial manner.

Plenty of content to read ♡ Content and structure of a [12-page] profile book

Next is the 12-page profile book made with 3 sheets of paper.

With more pages, it feels more like a solid booklet in appearance and texture.

The appeal lies in the ability to create a gallery page showcasing numerous pre-wedding photos ♡

If you’ve held an overseas wedding or family ceremony previously, you can introduce that as well.

Additionally, you can include pages introducing not just profiles, but also the couple’s hobbies, their local area, and their journey from meeting to marriage, making it very engaging to read ♡

Comprehensive information about the couple ♡ Content and structure of a [16-page] profile book

Next is the voluminous 16-page profile book!

It can be made with 4 sheets of paper.

It can include not just information about the couple but also information about the guests and the wedding itself, allowing for a comprehensive introduction to the wedding ♡

Popular additions are guest introductions and family introductions, which provide a valuable opportunity to share who has surrounded the couple throughout their lives.

Additionally, including a page introducing DIY items, the wedding theme, dresses, and accessories has become popular.

It’s practically a magazine ♡ Content and structure of a [20-page] profile book

Finally, we present a profile book with 20 pages that can be described as practically a magazine!

This is made by folding 5 sheets of paper.

Recommended for brides who want to include more detailed content of each item introduced in the 16-page version.

You can also create a 4-page photo gallery to include lots of photos.

Incorporating a wedding timeline illustrated to show the flow from the ceremony to the after-party is also a good idea.
