"Don't Throw It Away! ♡ Wedding Items to Reuse After Your Baby's Arrival Beyond Just Ring Pillows"

A Baby is On the Way♡

Among the soon-to-be brides preparing for their weddings, there may be those who are also expecting a baby in their belly.

Managing both wedding preparations and preparations for childbirth is undoubtedly challenging, but there are also joyful aspects.

One of those joys is that the wedding items prepared for the wedding can also be used when the baby is born♡

By preparing items with an eye for reusing them after childbirth, they become even more memorable.

In this article, we will introduce some ideas on how to utilize these items that soon-to-be brides welcoming a baby should know♩

Wedding Item to Reuse After the Baby is Born① Ring Pillow

The "ring pillow" is where wedding rings are placed during the ceremony.

It is said that using the ring pillow as a "first pillow" for the child during the "first three days" of life brings happiness♡

It's romantic to think about using an item that symbolizes the couple's love in the ceremony as an item for their baby.

If you want to use the ring pillow as the baby's first pillow, be sure to keep the following in mind:

☑ Make it a cushion type.

☑ Decorate it simply with embroidery or ribbons.

☑ Do not use hard beads or jewels.

☑ Make it larger and rectangular.

Wedding Item to Reuse After the Baby is Born② Garter Belt

The next item is the garter belt for the bride. It may not be very familiar in Japan, but it is a standard item worn under wedding dresses overseas.

A garter belt embellished with lace and pearls is lovely as a secret piece of style.

This garter belt can be DIY-ed into a headpiece for the baby when the baby is born♡

Since it may not fit the head size perfectly, it's good to make it in a design that can be untied like a ribbon or to reuse just the decorative part.

Wedding Item to Reuse After the Baby is Born③ Table Number

The item displayed on guest tables, the table number.

It counts tables as 1, 2, 3… but there’s an idea to utilize this as the baby's "monthly age card"♡

A monthly age card is a photographic prop used to record the baby's "months old".

By DIY-ing a simple design of table numbers with just numbers, you can use them directly♩

Wedding Item to Reuse After the Baby is Born④ Letter Board

A "letter board" allows you to insert plastic letters into a felt board to create messages freely.

It's a popular decorative item that can be found at 100-yen shops like Can Do and Daiso.

At the wedding, it can be used for decorations in the welcome space or reception area, and also as a photographic prop for pre-wedding shoots.

After the baby is born, it can be used as a photographic prop during commemorative photos or as a substitute for monthly age cards♡

Since you can create your favorite messages, the ideas can expand.

Additionally, it can also be used as a prop for maternity photos to record the belly before childbirth.

It seems worthwhile to purchase one now♡

Wedding Item to Reuse After the Baby is Born⑤ Wedding Dress

There are surely brides who have purchased their wedding dress instead of renting it for pre-wedding shoots or after-parties.

For brides planning to wear a second-hand dress, it is recommended to have the wedding dress remade into a baby dress after the wedding♡

Although you can only wear a wedding dress once in a lifetime, thinking about your baby wearing a dress that was transformed from your own brings immense joy.

Some bridal salons even make matching baby dresses♡

Recently, some brides have been passing on their wedding dresses through flea market apps, but keeping it for the future can create one more precious family memory.

Wedding Item to Reuse After the Baby is Born⑥ Baby Ring

Lastly, I would like to introduce the baby ring. A baby ring is a ring for babies embedded with their birthstone♡

This is an item filled with the wish for the baby to grow up healthy and happy.

Although it's not a wedding item, preparing a baby ring and having it photographed together with the bridal ring would make a great keepsake♡

A very small baby ring can also be beautifully used as a charm for the wedding bouquet.

Why not incorporate it as an accent in a clutch bouquet?

Enjoy Both Wedding Preparations and Childbirth Preparations♡

We introduced wedding items that can be reused after the baby is born.

For brides who have not yet gathered these items, how about choosing designs with an eye toward what will come after the baby's birth?

It will surely become a more special item as a precious family piece♩
