Essential DIY Paper Items Every Stylish Bride-to-Be Should Create for Their Wedding Reception ♩♡

2015.08.22 published

Paper items are the showcase of the bride's DIY skills ♡

Invitation cards, seating charts, and other paper items that are absolutely necessary for the wedding.

Many brides may be struggling to find something that feels right from a catalog of pre-made items, or they might not have favorite options, or they may not find designs that represent both of them.

For such brides, they can just make everything by hand so that they are fully satisfied with their invitations and seating charts ♡

5 DIY Paper Items to Create for the Reception *

To make the reception of my wedding with my beloved partner even more personal, here are five classic paper items that I want to create originally by hand. *

DIY Paper Item 1 * Seating Chart

First, the seating chart is the very first thing handed to guests at the reception desk upon arrival. The seating chart serves as a map to guide guests to their tables, and a trendy way to present it is to write everything on a piece of paper, roll it up, and make it look like a scroll ♡

While it's customary to hand out one seating chart per guest, it’s also recommended to use a large board to guide them in a more international style ♩

DIY Paper Item 2 * Escort Cards

Instead of a seating chart, placing escort cards with names and table numbers at the welcome space is also a nice idea ♡

DIY Paper Item 3 * Place Cards

Creating place cards that indicate where guests will sit is a classic DIY project for brides, so it's something to be particular about. For a couple that loves Disney, making them look like tickets is recommended ♡

If you write a message to each guest on a book-shaped place card, they are sure to be delighted! Different colored mini tassels can also make you want to take photos with them ♡

DIY Paper Item 4 * Guest Book

A guest book where participants write their names is also one of the paper items I want to make myself * If you have them write on a pure white puzzle, be sure to write instructions on a substrate ♩

Making Paper Items is a Collaborative Effort ♡

DIY for paper items mainly involves computer tasks like deciding on the format and designing illustrations with stylish fonts. Working together with your tech-savvy husband to create them is also a great charm ♡

Let's create paper items that reflect both of us together, deepening our love further during the wedding preparations ♡
