A Bridal Newspaper That Understands You Both Well
Do you know about bridal newspapers as a wedding item?
A bridal newspaper is a paper item that features the couple's wedding and self-introductions in a newspaper format.
It's a unique item that has been a staple for a long time and is well-received by guests.
Recent Bridal Newspapers Are Stylish!
While bridal newspapers were typically designed as an homage to Japanese newspapers...
Recently, more brides have been creating stylish bridal newspapers inspired by foreign English newspapers ♡
An English newspaper-style bridal newspaper has a fashionable poster-like appearance.
Many brides seem to be preparing it instead of a profile book.
In this article, we will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of handmade bridal newspapers, as well as stylish wrapping methods for them ♩
Advantages of Handmade Bridal Newspapers ♡
One of the main advantages of a bridal newspaper is that it allows for more photos and information compared to a profile book ♩
The standard size for profile books is A5, but bridal newspapers can range from A4 to A3.
With the paper size being more than double that, and the ability to increase the number of pages as desired, it's perfect for brides who want to share a lot with their guests.
You can include pages for pet introductions, DIY items, and special thank-you pages for guests who have helped.
It’s nice to be able to include information that wouldn’t fit in a profile book.
Additionally, the ease of DIY is another appealing point.
For profile books, you need to order printing from a print company to have it made into a booklet.
There are often unexpected troubles regarding data submission and delivery deadlines.
With bridal newspapers, there's no need to print in booklet format; you can print them at home or at a convenience store.
This makes it suitable for those who don’t have much time before the big day or who prefer to create at their own pace.
(Just be careful about the order of the pages!)
Depending on the number of pages, it can be cheaper than a profile book, making it great for those who want to save money.
What Are the Disadvantages of Handmade Bridal Newspapers?
On the flip side, what are the disadvantages of making a bridal newspaper by hand?
It comes down to one point: "It's hard to make!"
For a bridal newspaper that pays homage to English newspapers,
☑ You have to search for and download stylish fonts.
☑ You’ll need to translate the text you want to include into English.
☑ You need to arrange the text in a newspaper-like layout.
This makes the design significantly more challenging.
It’s perfect for brides who are particular about design as you can create something from scratch, but it may be tedious for those who aren’t good with computers or English.
However, the sense of achievement when it’s completed is tremendous ♡
Handing Out Bridal Newspapers Stylishly ♩
How do brides who prepare bridal newspapers distribute them to their guests?
The most popular method is to fold them and tie with jute string.
They are often handed out at the reception or placed on guest tables.
Since they have the appearance of English newspapers, they also make great decor on the guest tables.
Some brides add tags to stylishly arrange them ♡
Another classic style is to roll them up and tie them with a ribbon, similar to table number cards.
Depending on the type of wrapping chosen, the appearance of the cover can change, so it’s recommended to decide on the wrapping method before starting the design.
A stylish idea is to place them in a clear bag along with a small gift!
