I Want to Create a 《Profile Book》 That Guests Will Enjoy ♡
The paper item that should be emphasized for the wedding is the 《Profile Book》* a booklet that summarizes the profiles of the bride and groom, seating charts, menus, etc. It’s a wonderful item that guests can enjoy during waiting times ♡
Many brides-to-be probably want to pay particular attention to the design and content of their Profile Book! ♡
There are no strict rules about what must be included in the Profile Book. While the high degree of freedom is appealing, it can be confusing as to what kind of pages to create.
Therefore, while referencing examples from senior brides, we will introduce the basic content you want to include in your Profile Book, as well as additional individualized content to express your personality. *Think about which pages are needed for your Profile Book while looking it over ♩
/Basic\ Pages to Include in the Profile Book ① Table of Contents
First, the Table of Contents page. If you have a few pages, it’s okay to skip this, but if the content has 8 pages or more, it’s considerate to include it! ♡ When guests think, "I want to know my seat!", they can quickly open to the seating chart page ◎
/Basic\ Pages to Include in the Profile Book ② Greeting
The Greeting page is where the bride and groom can express their greetings to the guests. Let’s convey gratitude for all the support they've received up until now and for coming today! *When creating the text by yourselves, please be careful of taboo words and kanji that should be avoided!

/Basic\ Pages to Include in the Profile Book ④ Seating Chart
The seating chart shows where guests will be sitting. Since the Profile Book is something for guests to enjoy during the waiting time before the ceremony and reception, it is generally provided at the reception desk. For this reason, many brides tend to incorporate the seating chart into the Profile Book instead of preparing it separately ♡
/Basic\ Pages to Include in the Profile Book ⑤ Menu
Many brides seem to include a page with the day’s course menu in the Profile Book. Some brides even include a drink menu. As the drink menu can also be prepared on the tables, choose whichever style you prefer ♩

/Advanced\ Pages to Include in the Profile Book ⑥ Time Schedule
A wedding day can be quite long. By listing the schedule from the ceremony to the reception, guests will understand the flow without needing to check the invitation constantly, which is considerate ♡ This is especially recommended for brides who have transportation arranged or are providing buses from the venue! *
/Advanced\ Pages to Include in the Profile Book ⑦ LOVE Story
A page summarizing the love story from how the couple met to their journey to marriage. Excluding groups of friends who know a lot about him, most guests probably don’t know how the couple dated and decided to marry.
Understanding their journey to marriage will enhance guests' feelings of celebration! ♡ Let's reflect on it with photos from their courtship ♩
On the wedding day, there won’t be enough time to talk deeply with each guest. Therefore, if you include content that answers questions like "When did you start dating?" or "What was the proposal like?" it will surely raise guest satisfaction! *It might be a little embarrassing, but I'm sure it will be appreciated ♡
/Advanced\ Pages to Include in the Profile Book ⑧ Pre-Wedding and Ceremony Photos
Brides who have their ceremony abroad and reception domestically should definitely include photos from the ceremony in their Profile Book ♩ Including the date and comments to convey the atmosphere of the ceremony would be great! ♡
Brides who did a pre-wedding shoot would want to include a lot of those photos as well! *Especially for brides who aren't changing into traditional attire, including traditional pre-wedding photos is recommended ♡
/Advanced\ Pages to Include in the Profile Book ⑨ DIY Item Introduction
Brides who made various items by hand for their wedding should introduce them in the Profile Book. Guests will surely pay attention to them! *Introducing items made by friends or mothers will likely bring great joy ♡
/Advanced\ Pages to Include in the Profile Book ⑩ Guest Introduction
It's common for guests gathered at the wedding to not know each other. By introducing the relationships and the kind of people they are in relation to the bride and groom, it may foster interactions among the guests ♡ This is recommended for brides who want a homely atmosphere with a sense of togetherness at their wedding. *
