Call out to brides who want to handmade their profile books and seating charts ♡

The paper items that brides often make themselves for weddings, such as profile books and seating charts＊

I believe many brides are determined to make them themselves, but when it comes to handmade items, there are some worries that come up first.

Those are about the "paper size" and "folding style."

When making profile books and seating charts, we often ponder over the size and what shape or style to use＊

So this time, we will introduce the sizes and styles of profile books and seating charts that experienced brides have actually handmade♩

① B5 Size × Profile Book

The most standard size for a profile book is B5, which is slightly smaller than A4＊

It is a handy size and popular because it allows for plenty of content to be included♡

② B6 Size × Profile Book

A B6 profile book fits perfectly propped up on a delta-folded napkin, which is half the size of B5＊

Compared to A4, it is about two sizes smaller, making it a popular size among brides who want to create a simple profile book with less content♩

③ A5 Size × Profile Book

The A5 size is half of A4, which is notebook size＊

It is a size between B5 and B6, making it a recommended choice for brides who want to create a profile book with just the right volume, not too small and not too big＊

④ A4 Size × Profile Book

Making a profile book with standard A4 size results in a paper item filled with volume♡

This bride chose a Campus notebook design for her profile book♩

It's a wonderful profile book that has a playful spirit＊

⑤ A3 Size Folded in Half × Profile Book

A large A3 size cut in half and folded into three sections creates a nearly square profile book＊

You can produce two copies in A3 size, which means printing companies can offer it for half the A3 price, which is a key point◎

⑥ 14.8cm Square × Profile Book

The most commonly chosen size for square profile books is 14.8cm＊

A square profile book has a stylish and overseas-like atmosphere, which is wonderful♡

The 14.8cm square profile book is created by cutting the height of an A4 size (21cm × 29.7cm) from 21cm to 14.8cm♩

⑦ CD Size × Profile Book

A CD size (16cm) square profile book＊

Though quite small, it is perfect for brides who have less information to convey ◎

It fits in pockets, making it a pleasing size for men as well♩

⑧ A3 Size × Four-Fold (Accordion Fold) Seating Chart

⑨ A3 Size × Tri-Fold Seating Chart

The A3 seating chart stands out for being quite large♩

Its size when unfolded is substantial, which is why it is often chosen by brides planning large weddings with over 100 guests＊

Even within the A3 size, there's a dilemma between choosing tri-fold or four-fold accordion style.

Brides who have many items to write down find the four-fold easier to write on due to the additional folding lines◎

⑩ A4 Size × Tri-Fold Seating Chart

The tri-fold seating chart in A4 size is characterized by its compactness compared to A3＊

Since A4 size can be printed on a home printer, it is perfect for handmade projects♩

⑪ A4 Size × Six-Fold Seating Chart

The six-fold seating chart, which has been folded into sixths, is gradually becoming popular lately♡

It allows for a lot of content to be written on one sheet of paper, and since it's small enough to fit in pockets or women's small party bags, many people choose it as a profile sheet for after-parties＊

⑫ A3 Size × Six-Fold Seating Chart

A large A3 size folded twice horizontally and once vertically into six folds creates a seating chart＊

It becomes a small vertical shape, making it very easy to read◎

When making a six-fold seating chart, the way you fold (the folding points) will determine whether it is close to a square or a rectangle, so consider which style you prefer before creating it♩

⑬ A4 Size × Twisted Seating Chart

The standard size for a twisted seating chart is A4＊

Typically, an introduction and menu or profile are written on the front, with the seating chart on the back♩

The appealing aspect is that it can be easily DIYed at home with just one sheet of A4 paper♡
