2019.10.05 published

Do you know "tying the knot"?

There are paper items with such designs at overseas weddings♩

① When you open a folded paper item,

② the string passed through the edges extends smoothly,

③ and finally a knot is tied in the middle...

This is a type of paper item. Here is＊＊

It’s a design that you don’t see at Japanese weddings, but it’s one of the standard designs abroad.

There doesn't seem to be a specific name for it,

but

"tie the knot" = "to get married"

This phrase is used to describe the act of tying a knot with two strings (threads), representing "to be tied together → to get married."

Thus, for invitations, it is referred to as "tying the knot invitations"

and for save the dates, it is called "tying the knot save the date."

Above all, it’s auspicious♡

The "tying the knot" paper items are not only interesting as a surprise box-like mechanism,

but making a knot with one string also has a feel similar to Mizuhiki (Japanese ceremonial cord), which is quite auspicious♡

A tightly tied string won’t easily come undone = the connection and relationship between the two will also become strong and deep, this implies＊

It is truly the perfect design for wedding paper items in terms of meaning!

Introducing various designs＊

Abroad, it's common to DIY along with the message "ARE TYING THE KNOT! (We are getting married!)"＊

It’s most frequently used in the designs for invitations and save the dates to announce the wedding.

Using a red ribbon gives it a cute atmosphere reminiscent of the "red thread"♡

It's interesting to tie the strings up and down with vertically opening paper items.

This could also be used for paper place cards!

The atmosphere changes depending on the color and material of the string.

Craft paper and jute twine is a perfect combination for a natural wedding＊

Grey and yellow ribbons are also stylish.

It’s amazing to have invitations or save the dates that make you look forward to opening them...!!

I want to try making it myself＊＊

I introduced the "tying the knot" paper items that brides are DIYing for overseas weddings, which form a knot when opened.

The way to make it is simple: just punch holes at both ends of a folded paper and pass the string through, creating a knot＊

You need to be careful not to let the string slip out from the holes, but it’s also recommended to try making these yourself when handing out invitations or save the dates to guests♩
