DIY Your Own Shower! Brides Gather Here! *
A Popular Performance After the Ceremony [Flower Shower] * Nowadays, besides flower showers, various types of showers such as bubble showers using soap bubbles and origami crane showers using folding cranes are trending ♩
Many brides are DIYing various types of showers, but some have experienced "I tried DIY, but it was a failure!".
This time, we will introduce points to be careful of when making different showers * Please check before you start your DIY ◎
[Caution] Points to Note When DIYing Your Own Shower ① Falling Speed
One common struggle for brides is the "falling speed" * Flower showers are easy to throw and fall at just the right speed, which is good...
For example, feather showers don't fly forward at all, so they might not reach the bride and groom. If you plan to do a feather shower, it's recommended to throw them together with flowers or other showers ◎
Conversely, pom pom showers made with large pom poms are so big and heavy that they fall instantly! Some brides regretted not being able to take fluffy and good photos...
For large or heavy items, it's best to make them as small and light as possible, and mixing them with other showers is also recommended ♡
In any case, if you DIY a flower shower, make sure to throw a sample once you start making it to check the falling speed and whether it properly reaches the bride and groom ◎
[Caution] Points to Note When DIYing Your Own Shower ② Ensure It's Not Painful
Here is a personal experience from a bride who did a rice shower * She had the guests throw raw rice at the couple, but when they actually threw it, it was unexpectedly painful and problematic…!
While it may seem small and harmless, since it's easy for guests to throw rice high into the air, it can actually hurt quite a bit when it falls back down.
Throwing a small amount from close up might not be painful, but if a lot gets thrown from a distance with some force, it can indeed hurt. It’s a good idea to think ahead about the day and make adjustments if you think it might be painful. By the way, it seems that wrapping rice showers in tulle is a good idea ♡
[Caution] Points to Note When DIYing Your Own Shower ③ Amount of Shower
Next, we'll discuss the amount of shower materials. It seems quite hard to DIY just the right amount—neither too much nor too little—for the number of guests…!
It would be fine if you could wrap each piece individually, but if you make a lot and have each guest take one, the last person might end up with just a little…!
On the other hand, if you ask around 100 guests to do a bubble shower, it can result in being overwhelmed with bubbles, making it hard to discern what's in the photos…
If you're unsure about how much to prepare relative to the number of guests, it's recommended to divide them into small portions for each individual *
[Caution] Points to Note When DIYing Your Own Shower ④ Ensure You Have Enough Time for DIY
The final point to consider is whether you have sufficient time for DIY * Making your own shower can be quite labor-intensive!
For example, if you’re going to do a ribbon shower, each guest will need about 10 to 20 ribbons. Calculating 15 ribbons each for 80 guests means you need to make 1200 ribbons! Considering extras, around 1500 might be more reassuring…!
This could be quite a burden for brides thinking of DIYing other wedding elements as well. Even if you initially think you can handle it, if you end up stressed due to time constraints later on, it can lead to feelings of anxiety and gloom.
If you're planning to make things like a ribbon shower, origami crane shower, mizuhiki shower, pearl shower, star shower, or pom pom shower, which all take a bit of extra effort, be sure to check whether you have enough time to do them comfortably ♡
Proper Preparation is Essential for a Wonderful Shower *
