Profile Books are Essential ♡

An essential paper item for weddings: the Profile Book ＊

A booklet that compiles greetings, profiles of the bride and groom, seating arrangements, course menus, and everything else you want to share with your guests in one place ♡

In the past, a simple design with seating arrangements and basic profiles of the bride and groom was common, but…

Recently, profile books with a volume of 8 to 12 pages have become popular ♡ These substantial profile books are well-received by guests ♩

Contents Revealed ♡ Profile Book by a Senior Bride ①

A profile book that includes all the essential content you want to incorporate＊ To fit everything into 8 pages, profiles are condensed to half a page.

It’s also a point that handmade item photos are included in the empty spaces of the seating chart ◎

◆Pages 2-3… Greetings

This bride decided not to include the menu, instead offering plenty of space to introduce profiles and DIY items♡ The content is very satisfying to read♩

Many brides opt to place the drink menu on the table rather than including it in the profile book ◎

◆Pages 2-3… Greetings

◆Pages 4-5… Seating Chart

◆Page 7… DIY Items

◆Page 8… Back Cover

Contents Revealed ♡ Profile Book by a Senior Bride ③

This profile book is filled with a generous 12 pages ♡

In addition to the basic content, it includes a page for pre-wedding photos and a hobbies section＊

◆Page 1… Greetings

◆Page 2… Course Menu, Drink Menu

◆Page 3… Profile

◆Page 4… Pre-wedding Photos

(Note: The cover page is not counted)

The Q&A section poses the question, “Who do you think ____ is?” featuring names of all the guests. Guests are surprised to see their names mentioned! The inclusion of guest photos at the end is also a delightful touch ♩

In the recommended tea room section, the bride and groom introduced their favorite tea spots＊

Square-shaped profile books are also gaining popularity for their stylish look＊

This one dedicates one page to greetings and showcases photos from the family ceremony.

Whether to use a two-page spread for greetings or condense it into one page can change the content you can include ♡

For a vertical venue, it’s a good idea to have the left side of the spread (the cover) face up, as seen in the 5th picture here ◎

◆Page 1… Cover

◆Page 2… Greetings

◆Page 3… Ceremony Photos

◆Pages 4-5… Profile

◆Pages 6-7… Seating Chart

◆Page 8… Course Menu, Drink Menu

This is a rare ring-type profile book ♡ The advantage of a ring-type is that you don’t have to worry about the layout or number of pages in spreads ＊

In a booklet format, pages typically increase in increments of 4 (4P, 8P, 12P, etc.), but with a ring type, you can adjust it to any number of pages you like ♡

It’s lovely that this profile book includes a page to introduce the families and friends of the bride and groom＊

◆Page 1… Cover

◆Page 2… Greetings

◆Pages 3-4… Profile

◆Page 5… Groom's Family Introduction

◆Page 6… Groom's Friends Introduction

◆Page 7… Bride's Family Introduction

◆Page 8… Bride's Friends Introduction

◆Page 9… Course Menu

◆Page 10… Drink Menu

◆Page 11… Back Cover

One key point of this profile book is the absence of a seating chart, which is replaced with an introduction to the city where the bride and groom live ♡

◆Page 1… Cover

◆Page 2… Greetings

◆Page 3… Course Menu, Drink Menu

Since seating charts sometimes come included as a venue perk, when that’s the case, let’s prepare a profile book filled with reading material instead ♡

◆Pages 4-5… Profile

◆Pages 6-7… Introduction to the City

◆Page 8… Back Cover
