We're getting married outside in the summer. Our ceremony will be brief (no more than 30 minutes, probably even less) and on the secular side. So is it necessary to have programs for the ceremony? A lot my married friends tell me that the majority of theirs got left behind, and they feel like no one would have missed them if they weren't there. Are programs meant more for longer, religious ceremonies held in a house of worship?
I just don't know what I would write on a program besides the names of our wedding party and officiant, and maybe a thank you note to our guests. Other than that, I don't really see the point. It would seem kind of silly to me to write an outline of our ceremony when it's going to be so short.
Thoughts?? Are any of you other ladies skipping programs? Does it bother you when you attend weddings and they don't have them?
