Affordable DIY Wedding Ideas Using Newspaper from 100 Yen Shops!

English Newspapers Are So Stylish!

If you're dreaming of a chic overseas-style wedding, one item you definitely want to incorporate is the 'English newspaper.'

Even though newspapers are part of our daily lives, when they're in English, they exude an intellectual and fashionable vibe.

Real English newspapers are sold at station kiosks, but if you're using them for DIY projects, "English newspaper-style" wrapping paper works just fine!

You can find them at Daiso and Seria, so you can get them at a low cost.

In this article, we'll introduce ideas using English newspapers and English newspaper-style wrapping paper ♩

Uses for English Newspapers① Candy Bouquet ♡

The first idea I'd like to introduce involves using English newspapers as wrapping paper for candy bouquets. Recently, more brides are opting for candy bouquet tosses instead of traditional bouquet tosses.

A candy bouquet is already a cute and poppy item, but wrapping it in English newspaper gives it a stylish overseas feel ♩

You can find all the artificial flowers and candies needed for the candy bouquet at 100 yen shops, making it easy to gather all the materials in one go! ♡

They can also be used for DIY love objects, which are classic wedding items.

Create a base in the shape of "LOVE" using cardboard or Styrofoam, and simply paste on the English newspaper. Additionally, this love object features monochromatic photos from a pre-wedding shoot, adding a unique touch ♡

It’s less labor-intensive than making a love object with paper napkin flowers, and you can make your pre-wedding photos look stylish too; it’s a win-win! ♩

Uses for English Newspapers③ Welcome Board

This is a guest book cum welcome board, where guests can fit pieces of a puzzle to complete a heart shape ♡

A wedding is made possible through the help of guests at the reception and during performances. It’s courteous to prepare thank-you gifts for those who helped out.

While it’s fine to give store-bought gifts, brides who want to put in a little extra effort can wrap their gifts and attach a letter.

Wrapping them in English newspaper and tying them with ribbon or twine creates a thoughtful, handmade feel! ♡

Uses for English Newspapers⑥ Photo Props

The last use for English newspapers I’d like to introduce is as photo props!

By cutting out heart-shaped holes in the English newspaper, you can take the cutest wedding photos.
