"Prepare Before Delivery! How to Create an 'Item Placement Instructions' Guide for Achieving Your Desired Decorations♡"

To Get the Decorations Just Right...??

Decor items collected by DIY or purchased for the wedding venue.

I can’t wait to see my favorite items placed in various spots like the reception, welcome space, photo booth, and head table♡

However, there’s one important thing that must not be forgotten for that to happen.

That is creating an "Item Placement Instruction Sheet"!

Why is an "Item Placement Instruction Sheet" Necessary?

As the name suggests, an Item Placement Instruction Sheet outlines "where to place which items."

On the day of the event, it’s not the bride who decorates the venue, but the staff from the venue, including the planner.

Even if the bride has a perfect vision of the decorations in her mind, the staff will be seeing the items for the first time when they arrive.

Just saying “please place this in the welcome space” can lead to many questions, such as whether to arrange it in a straight line, randomly, or in what order... and so on.

Everyone is busy and in a rush on the wedding day, so there’s no time to keep going back and asking the bride.

This leads to problems like “this isn’t where I wanted it to be placed...!”

There are many past brides who regret the arrangement of items, as seen in the #wedding regrets tag…!

That’s why it’s necessary to share an "Item Placement Instruction Sheet," which concretely outlines the decoration image in your head in advance＊

So, how should you create the "Item Placement Instruction Sheet"?

Let me introduce an example of an "Item Delivery Instruction Sheet" created by a past bride♩

Brides who are good at drawing can create an illustrated item instruction sheet♡

For places like the head table, where taking photos is difficult, illustrations can convey the overall feel better◎

It’s also important to note whether items are brought in or rented, and to list the quantity if there are multiple identical items＊

This bride shared her decoration vision with various photo variations.

Sharing wide-angle photos for the overall view and close-ups for detailed explanations makes it unlikely to forget to display an item, ensuring it’s arranged according to the instructions.

I also had my wedding in April, and I created instruction sheets for all the items I brought in!

For areas with many items (like the reception or welcome space), I included photos of the temporary placement along with comments, while for areas with fewer items (like guest tables), I included photos and comments for individual items.

I included instructions for everything, from how to display the cake topper to the types of favors for guests, so there were no problems regarding items on the day♩

To Avoid Regrets About Decoration＊
