Stylish Ideas to Make Even the Uncooperative Partner Eager to Participate in D.I.Y.!
Hello, this is the MISS Wedding editorial team. Recently, heartfelt handmade weddings that reflect couples' personalities have become popular.
Until now, D.I.Y. has mainly revolved around the bride, but it seems that there are couples where the groom actively participates in D.I.Y. as well.
Collaborative creations with grooms lead to stylish and cool items that are different from what brides usually create. Let's quickly take a look at what items we have!*
➡ Here’s the official site of MISS Wedding*
D.I.Y. Idea 1: Escort Item [Bow Tie as Place Card]
How about a row of chic bow ties lined up as you enter the venue? The excitement of searching for your name and the fun of everyone wearing matching items can be a part of the party's atmosphere. It's also a good idea to mention "Dress Code = NO Tie" in the invitation beforehand.
Moreover, you can make these by hand. 【Materials】● Fabric (Ribbon part 15×22cm; Center part 4×10cm) ● Fusible interfacing ● Clip pin backing (12×7cm) ● Iron ● Double-sided tape ● Scissors ● Cutter. With these, you can make ribbons, attach clip pins, and insert them into backing for immediate completion!
D.I.Y. Idea 2: Escort Item [Sunglasses as Photo Props]
How about welcoming guests at the entrance of the building with a beautifully illustrated escort booth? The idea of displaying a colorful array of sunglasses as guides to their seats is fantastic. Everyone can wear sunglasses for some fun and enjoyment as photo props, making it a great tool to elevate the party atmosphere!
D.I.Y. Idea 3: Escort Item [Drink Holder as Place Card]
This item, decorated like a garland, is a cozy (drink holder) with escort cards inside. For instance, putting craft beer in a cozy and raising a toast with everyone during the party would be wonderful. When we asked a recent bride who used this idea, she said, "It was a twice-as-good item that significantly enhanced the excitement in the venue."
D.I.Y. Idea 4: Escort Item [Chips as Welcome Food]
Fill paper bags with the favorite potato chips of the bride and groom for welcome food! Not only do they look cute, but passing the chips from above can help facilitate interactions among guests, making the party more lively. The theme for this party was "Authentic," and true to its name, the chips were carefully handmade by the chef at TRUNK from real potatoes.
D.I.Y. Idea 5: Welcome Board for After the Ceremony [Board Using String and Nails]
How about string art drawn with string and nails? High quality yet easy to make! It’s perfect for decorating your space stylishly.
You can also make this yourself. 【Materials】● Base wooden board ● Fabric (2 types) ● Fishing line (approx. 30m) ● Nails (2cm, approx. 200) ● Printed paper with letters ● Double-sided tape ● Wood hammer ● Scissors ● Cutter. With these, you can attach fabric to the board, hammer in the nails with the wood hammer, and wrap the fishing line around each nail while filling in the letters to complete!
D.I.Y. Idea 6: Welcome Board for After the Ceremony [Puzzle-like Marriage Certificate]
The board that reminds everyone of their support every time they see it. A marriage certificate where each wooden piece engraved with guests' names is fitted one by one. By using uniquely shaped pieces, it becomes a one-of-a-kind creation.
D.I.Y. Idea 7: Welcome Board for After the Ceremony [Board Like an Airport Boarding Board]
How about a mini-sized board that looks just like an airport boarding board? For newlyweds embarking on a happy journey, a wedding with the theme "Trip to Santorini." For example, it can serve as a welcome board that guides guests to a chapel reminiscent of a runway. It would also be wonderful if the venue staff carried it on the day to guide guests.
D.I.Y. Idea 8: Welcome Board for After the Ceremony [Board with Family Rules]
The theme of this board resembling "Little House on the Prairie" is stylish in appearance yet practical, depicting rules set by the couple soon to be married. Written rules include "No sleeping on the sofa" and "Be considerate of each other," embodying the couple's unique style as they prepare to build a home together.
