Welcome Board Design ① Caricature

A classic design is a caricature of the bride and groom＊ Guests will be excited with comments like “It looks just like them!” and “So cute!” ♡

Many people have friends who are good at drawing create the caricature, or they find someone online to order one from ♩

You can request a caricature in various styles, such as cartoon-like, character-inspired, or storybook-style, to match the atmosphere of your wedding ♡

There are not many opportunities in life to get a caricature done, so it becomes a lifelong treasure＊

Welcome Board Design ② Glass / Acrylic

Next, we introduce a welcome board made from acrylic or glass panels. This chic look is popular for a wedding that feels like it’s straight out of a foreign wedding ♡

Since both glass and acrylic panels can be easily obtained at home centers and craft shops, it’s also attractive for those who want to try DIY.

Use a white pen to write letters and finish it off with your original design＊ It’s recommended to use Posca pens or pens that easily wash off with water that are made for blackboards.

Welcome Board Design ③ Blackboard Style

If you want to create a sophisticated atmosphere, a blackboard-style welcome board is recommended! This will create a high-sensitivity welcome space like a stylish café ♡

By decorating around it with artificial flowers or fake greenery, it can be made even more vibrant ♡

Blackboards can be found at Tokyu Hands or online.

Alternatively, you can use black construction paper as a blackboard, draw illustrations with white Posca pens, and frame it as well＊
