Compact and Cute ♡ A Revolutionary New Idea for Seating Charts and Profile Books: The "Six-Fold Seating Chart"!
2017.10.22 published
Evolution of Seating Charts! Have you heard of the "Six-Fold Seating Chart"?
Paper items that include the seating chart, profiles of the couple, greeting texts, and menu, are collectively referred to as "seating charts."
The standard types of seating charts are tri-fold or quad-fold, and recently, there has been a rise in popularity for "Rolled Seating Charts," which use A4 paper rolled up, and booklet-type "Profile Books"♩
Wedding items and paper products are evolving daily with new ideas and designs, and recently, I discovered another new type of seating chart*
This item is the 'Six-Fold Seating Chart,' which, as the name suggests, is a six-fold type seating chart◎
What is a Six-Fold Seating Chart?
A Six-Fold Seating Chart is created by folding a single sheet of A4 or A3 paper six times (three times).
The front side features the couple's profile, menu, greeting text, etc.,
while the back side is the seating chart itself♩
The Six-Fold Seating Chart offers many attractive points:
☑ Small and compact: It’s small enough to fit in a man’s breast pocket, making it convenient for guests to take home
☑ Made from a single sheet: Unlike larger seating charts, which can be cumbersome to create and use a lot of paper, the six-fold seating chart allows all information to be contained in one sheet, making it easy to make by hand
☑ Cute appearance: When unfolded, it reveals information in an interesting way
There are plenty of appealing features♡
《How to Make a Six-Fold Seating Chart》
Here’s how to make a Six-Fold Seating Chart*
☑ Front: Divide into six equal parts and write in the respective sections ➡ For the bottom half, consider making it in reverse orientation for better visibility when folded
☑ Back: Seating chart
Many brides created layouts similar to the one in this image◎
Some brides found that when they printed it out, it didn’t turn out as well as they expected…! Therefore, it's recommended to first create a layout and do a test print*
Use Clips to Secure Your Six-Fold Seating Chart♩
As the six-fold seating chart involves three paper folds, you'll need to secure it with clips to prevent it from naturally unfolding.
Therefore, many seasoned brides used clips to hold it together beautifully*
This bride used a simple triangular clip
And here’s an adorable cat clip
Seasoned brides used various types of clips to secure theirs*
Choose your favorite securing method to match the vibe of your paper items♩
Chic and Cute ♡ The Six-Fold Seating Chart is Likely to Trend♩
I introduced you to the very chic and cute six-fold seating chart, which can be made from just one sheet of paper. It's small, making it easy for guests to carry around, which are all great features.
Though there aren’t many brides using the Six-Fold Seating Chart yet, I have a feeling it will become a staple like the rolled seating chart in the future◎
