    Michaels using coupons.  You can type yourself with templates they provide online and I'll probably have Office Depot print... or you could print yourself!

    Or ... you could skip them altogether.  Just an option ...

    We did them ourselves with publisher and had them printed at Office Depot. They turned out great for about half the cost.

    Am reading Miss Manners updated wedding book - I  think she did it last year when her daughter got married.  I got it out the library and it's *hilarious*.

    She has a whole section on weddings becoming entertainment - she doesn't see programs as necessary, and worries that some of them are like 'theatre programs'.

    I don't think you need one.  If your guests are expected to sing a hymn or the suchlike - an order or service ... is in order ;-).  I think her point is that having all the attendants and their bios etc listed is superfluous and not in keeping.  My take-away from Miss Manners is that the program's place is as a guide to the guests/congregation, nothing more.

    We ended up not doing them and I don't think anyone missed them.  I was going to make them myself and print them on cardstock using a template I found online (there are tons out there) but in the end I had other stuff to do that seemed more important.  I don't regret for a minute skipping them!

    I didn't want them but my Mom is insisting. I'm probably going to go the Michael's route... seems easiest and cheapest.

    I actually created a program today for my upcoming bridal show and used a template from Microsoft Publisher and selected online templates.  They have a few to choose from and it turned out beautifully; was very easy to use.  You can print yourself or take file to Kinko's or other printing place.

    I'd like to invite you to my upcoming luxury bridal show on 2/5/11 in DC- tickets on me.  If you're interested, email me directly at info@biancasamoneevents.com.  Visit the event site for details: www.aweddingsoiree.com

    Cheers,

    Bianca

    Ooo...kmartini, I'm a Ceresville bride, too!  I was going to do programs, but my parents and FH were all against the idea, wondering why one needs a program for the wedding.  We aren't having any hymns or anything, so it's not like the guests need words.  I couldn't come up with a good reason in our situation to spend the extra money, so we're going without.  If we WERE going to do it, we'd be going the Michaels-with-coupons route--that's how we've done invitations and favors, too.
