"One More Touch! The Trendy Fashion of Inserting Guest Cards into Backing Sheets♡"

Guest Card with an Extra Touch ♡

Due to the impact of the coronavirus, many weddings have recently adopted "guest cards" instead of guest books that many guests handle.

More brides are making these by hand.

One popular DIY arrangement is:

【Inserting a business card-sized guest card into a backing card】

This is a stylish DIY idea ♡

As shown, you insert a thin business card-sized guest card into a backing card that has a diagonal cut, and place it inside the invitation.

- The backing card makes the guest card stand out (it is less likely to be overlooked due to its presence).

- You can write a guide (explanation) on the backing card, allowing for a simpler and more stylish design for the guest card.

- If the backing card is the same size as the main invitation, it's less likely to get lost when bundled together.

These are the key points.

It also feels modern and stylish ♡

How to Create the Backing Card *

The size of the backing card is perfectly "A6," which is just slightly smaller than the Western-style invitation (洋2 size).

It's important to use a thicker paper, not flimsy.

Since guest cards are typically white, opting for a colored backing card is recommended ♡

On the backing card, print:

"Guest Card"

"This card will replace the guest book."

"We would appreciate it if you could fill it out and hand it to the reception on the day."

"If you are attending with two or more people, please fill in the names together."

Including these notes, as well as the couple's names and wedding date, makes it clear.

Then, use a cutter to make a diagonal cut, and slide in the guest card to complete it ♩

The side where the guest card is filled out should have a little design, like an illustration or text, placed on the opposite side to serve as the front.

The cut should typically be made right in the center, but you can rearrange it however you like ♡

The shape of the backing card can also be stylishly round ♡
