I Want to Include Our History in the Profile Book!
The profile book is a booklet-style paper item that combines the seating chart and menu, among other things. The charm of the profile book lies in its ability to add as many pages as you like and create a free structure.
A particularly popular feature among brides is the 'History Page' that introduces the couple's journey from their first meeting to their wedding ♡ It is also known as the 'Love Story Page.'
It allows for the inclusion of episodes that cannot be fully conveyed by the host's profile introduction or the profile video, making it quite engaging to read ♩
This time, I would like to share some examples of history pages from profile books that you might want to use as a reference*
Please take inspiration from the wording and layout ♡
This history page introduces a long history of 10 years of dating. The headline reads 'LOVE STORY 10th Anniversary' ♡
The upper half of the page features pre-wedding photos, while the lower half introduces episodes. It uses a large heart symbol to depict a rough timeline, with detailed narratives in the text ♩
The layout is not only easy to read but also super cute.
Example 2 of a Profile Book's History Page
This history page reflects on the journey from dating to registration using photos. It highlights the proposal scene with lots of pictures ♩
If you want to showcase many memorable moments such as pre-wedding scenes or the engagement ceremony, this layout might be a great reference!
Example 3 of a Profile Book's History Page
This history page features a grand proposal presented in a fun board-game-like design ♩ It's a meticulously crafted page that includes recreated photos.
There’s no need to focus strictly on the timeline from meeting to marriage in the history page.
It can also be enjoyable to include just segments of your history, like the time from meeting to dating or the proposal episode ♡
Example 4 of a Profile Book's History Page
In this profile book, the left page features simple profiles of the couple, while the right page introduces their history.
It highlights memorable dates like impressive dates or their first trip together, presenting them along with dates. By selecting your favorite six photos and writing episodes, the structure is quite easy to replicate ♩
Example 5 of a Profile Book's History Page
The two-page spread features a unique layout, where the top 3/4 is filled with pre-wedding photos, and the remaining 1/4 introduces the history.
The pre-wedding photos are arranged in a small format with cute handwritten notes added ♡
The history introduction section is photo-centered, detailing only the parts about their meeting and the engagement. The idea of including a photo of Cupid’s friend is lovely!
Example 6 of a Profile Book's History Page
This history page succinctly summarizes significant events like the start of dating, the proposal, registration, and the wedding.
Since there are no pre-wedding photos, it uses images such as hand-holding or close-up shots of feet as illustrative images.
If you have limited photos but still want to create a history page, this might serve as a useful reference*
Example 7 of a Profile Book's History Page
This history page mixes photos and text, thoroughly introducing the couple’s history over two full pages.
To make it easy to read, a timeline is used, with big headings like "Our First Trip!" followed by the photos and text.
When using a timeline format arranged in chronological order, be careful to ensure that "left → right" represents "past → present"*
Let's Create a Wonderful History Page ♩
I introduced the 'History Page' and 'Love Story Page' that senior brides have included in their profile books.
If you are considering making a profile book yourself, please use these examples for reference ♩
Discuss with your partner whether to focus on photos, include text, and decide on the use of pre-wedding photos as you finalize the layout together*
