Extra Edition News Delivered to Guests ♡ DIY Newspaper-Style Paper Items for Your Wedding【Bridal Newspaper】

What is a 【Bridal Newspaper】?

Wedding paper items include various types such as place cards, seating charts, and profile books.

The 【Bridal Newspaper】 we introduce this time is one of them.

A Bridal Newspaper refers to a newspaper featuring the couple’s wedding that is distributed to guests on the wedding day♡

It is a substantial paper item that vividly details the couple’s profiles and the story leading up to their marriage♩

Although it originated from overseas wedding ideas, an increasing number of brides in Japan are making their own Bridal Newspapers.

How is it different from a Profile Book?

When it comes to introducing the couple’s profiles or love story, the standard paper item is a profile book.

How does the Bridal Newspaper differ from it?

First, since the Bridal Newspaper is a “newspaper,” it can present the couple’s story from a third-party perspective.

For example, it might state, “The meeting of the groom〇〇 and the bride〇〇 was at a new employee training event. With the encouragement of colleague△△, they exchanged contact information, which marked the beginning of everything…”♡

Including guest names and comments like, “Colleague △△ said, ‘I can’t believe those two are getting married,’” in a reporting style would likely delight the guests♡

The narrator is a third party who has conducted the interview, not the couple themselves. This allows for more engaging writing that can captivate guests＊

It’s also recommended for those who feel shy or embarrassed about introducing their love story in their own words.

Creating a Bridal Newspaper is Easy!

The Bridal Newspaper is quite easy to DIY.

Unlike a profile book, which requires careful thought for each page, you can refer to the newspaper format, so you won't struggle much with the design.

Additionally, it only requires printing on A4 or A3 paper back-to-back, keeping costs low.

Black and white printing can make it even more affordable. (20 yen per sheet!)

Monochrome prints can look stylish, especially since it’s a newspaper♡

What content should be included??

Here’s what you might want to include in your Bridal Newspaper:* It seems that many brides prepare seating charts and menu lists separately, unlike the profile book.

◆◆ Bridal Newspaper Article Content ◆◆

☑ Groom and Bride Profile

☑ The couple's journey from meeting to marriage

☑ Q&A Interview

☑ Guest introductions, etc.

Folding and Presentation Styles are Various♩

The Bridal Newspaper is something you'll distribute to guests on the wedding day.

While it's perfectly fine to present it in a simple, flat format like regular newspapers,

folding it into thirds and tying it with a ribbon or rolling it up like a seating chart can also look cute♡

When distributing at reception, casually say, “Here’s the Bridal Newspaper♡” or “Extra edition!” while handing it to the guests.

Guests receiving a newspaper featuring the groom and bride on the front page are bound to be surprised.
