I Want to Create a Cute Welcome Board ♡
The "face" role for welcoming guests at the wedding, the 'Welcome Board' *
A stylish and cute welcome board is a must-have for weddings ♡ It’s something you can never have too many of, so you want to prepare lots of wonderful boards, right? ♩
When browsing Instagram, I often see brides who have handmade or purchased their carefully crafted welcome boards, but
"I'm not good at DIY..."
"I don't have much time to make things because I'm busy!"
"It's wasteful to buy something I will only use once."
Many brides must feel this way.
So this time, I will introduce some simple and affordable welcome board ideas that even brides who are not good at DIY can do ♡
Let’s save as much time and money as possible and create the cutest welcome board ever ♩
Easy Welcome Board Idea ① Write on a Wooden Board
The first idea I would like to introduce is writing on a wooden board with white Posca markers!
You can easily write beautiful letters by tracing printed letters from your computer using carbon paper ♩
Just writing on the wood is stylish, but adding a mini bouquet or flowers will create a lovely atmosphere ♡
An idea like pressing handprints to create a flamingo is also cute ♡
Wooden boards can be purchased for under 1,000 yen at home improvement stores, making it easy to do-it-yourself ♩
Easy Welcome Board Idea ② Use a Depth Frame
The next introduction is a welcome board using a "depth frame," which has thickness (depth)*
Write letters with a white Posca marker in the depth frame, and fill the frame with your favorite flowers to complete it ♡
The charm of a depth frame is that both the letters and flowers can be arranged freely *
For brides who like cute styles, consider using pink roses or peonies with white Posca markers, and for those who prefer natural styles, try pale dried flowers with wooden letters, and think of various designs ♡

Easy Welcome Board Idea ③ Poster
Next, I would like to introduce a stylish overseas-style poster *
The method is simply to arrange stylish fonts like "welcome," "your names," and "thank you" * It's super easy to make ♩
A larger size, around A1 to A3, is recommended * By using online printing, you can have it printed for around 1,500 yen ♡
Easy Welcome Board Idea ④ Acrylic Board/Frame
Decorating a clear board like an acrylic board or frame with letters in white Posca markers is also popular *
Recently, acrylic boards have become popular for wedding certificates and reception signs, but they also look wonderful when used as a large welcome board ♩
Putting it in a frame gives it an adult, high-class design ♡
This welcome board is perfect for both hotel weddings and natural weddings*
A design combining wedding photos and an acrylic board is also refreshing and lovely.
Easy Welcome Board Idea ⑤ Mirror
Writing on a stylish mirror to create a "welcome mirror" is a popular idea *
It’s easy, and using a mirror allows guests to take photos of themselves in the reflection, and it makes the venue look larger, which is a nice touch ♡
