Not a Book Style! Stylish and Easy DIY "Profile Cards" Made with Postcards ♡

Using Postcards as Seating Charts ♡

For weddings, it's common to prepare items like "seating charts (one double-sided page)" or "profile books (booklets)" that include profiles, menu options, and seating arrangements...

Recently, there's also the option of using a set of postcards as a substitute for seating charts and profile books, called <profile cards> ♡

Multiple profile cards can be placed at each seat, resembling a stylish catalog from a chic shop or the paper that comes with a CD album, which is lovely＊

The Charm of Profile Cards＊

Profile cards that use postcards as seating charts or profile books have many advantages, especially in terms of ease of creation!

☑ No need to think about layout for one item per page

☑ No need to worry about creases

☑ Easier to submit for printing than booklets

☑ Easy to make even for beginners with computers

☑ Small size makes them easy for guests to carry

☑ Size allows for printing at home

☑ Since they are postcards, printing costs are low even if outsourced (around 1,000 yen for 100 copies at Print Pack)

And so on♡

Indeed, as they are card-type, there are no creases (you don't have to worry about guest names being affected by creases, or about photo layout), and having one item per page makes it seem doable even for those who are not good at computers...!＊

The thickness of postcard paper typically ranges from 180kg to 220kg, but many brides have chosen the slightly thicker 220kg ♡

It's better to have a sturdy feel rather than being flimsy, as it conveys the special atmosphere of the wedding＊

When handing them to guests, you can use clips or ribbons to keep them together, ensuring they don’t get mixed up ♩

Now, here are some actual examples of brides' profile cards found on Instagram＊
