"Capturing Happiness in a Bottle: Let's Create a 'Memory Jar' by Collecting Messages from Guests!"

Do you know about Memory Jars?

A Memory Jar is a container where you can store your past memories. You can fill it with anything that holds memories for you, like photos, messages, daily journals, or collected seashells! ♩

Memory Jars are very popular overseas ♡

Overseas, it’s a tradition to fill a Memory Jar with memories each year. You can share them with family, or fill them with messages leading up to a birthday, among other creative uses! *

How to use Memory Jars at weddings?

For weddings, it’s stylish to place a Memory Jar in the welcome area where guests can drop in messages for the couple, creating a 'message box'. *

Messages from guests are truly treasured memories ♡

Some brides decide on themes like “What you love about the couple” or “A message for the couple a year from now” and have guests write messages accordingly. A jar filled with messages from guests is indeed a treasure trove of memories! *

Stylish as a voting box too ♡

It might be a good idea to have guests put their voting slips for a dress color guessing game into this Memory Jar. ◎

DIY Memory Jars ♡

As long as you have a jar and items to put inside, you can easily DIY a Memory Jar tailored to your wedding theme and preferences! ♩ Just unifying the color of the paper you put inside makes it cute, so anyone can create one! ♡

You can use jars from 100-yen shops like Seria or Daiso, or trendy Mason jars—anything works! *

Cute ♡ Collection of Memory Jar Designs

Even a simple jar can become a wonderful decor by dressing it up with ribbons or embellishments like accessories and corsages. Here are some examples of beautifully decorated Memory Jars! ♡

A large ribbon attached to the top of the jar, with smaller jars inside it. The papers for guests to write their messages are tie-dye patterned, adding a lovely touch! *

You could even turn the year and date of your wedding into charms threaded on ribbons, creating a Memory Jar that will last a lifetime! ♩

It would also be cute to add lucky symbols like a key said to "open the door to good fortune" or a four-leaf clover that "brings happiness" as charms! ♩

If you want to go beyond just decoration, you might want to also focus on the shape of the jar! A candy pot-style Memory Jar would be too cute! ♡

If your wedding has a Cinderella theme, you could decorate the Memory Jar like a pumpkin carriage with a light blue ribbon and clock motifs! *

For a beach wedding, incorporating coral motifs to bring out a seaside vibe would be lovely too! *

An elegant perfume bottle-like jar with a tassel, filled with pearls, would be cute and wedding-appropriate when viewed from outside! ♡

Advanced Memory Jar DIY

If you want to get more dedicated, why not make the messages inside stylish too? *

An idea is to thread beads onto T-pins, twist them into charming shapes, and place rolled-up messages into a round ring. *

The messages matching the ribbon color, rolled up neatly, look adorable! ♡

A Memory Jar filled with love and thoughts ♡

Let’s fill the DIY Memory Jar with heartfelt messages from all the guests! *
