Need help with programs

chicadelpadre

I could use some help with my programs. Below is what I have so far, but I feel like I'm missing things. I need to try to get ahold of the organist to get the songs that will be played and maybe the pastor to see what scripture he will be using (we didn't give him anything in particular that we wanted).





What did you include on yours? Also, did you put any sort of thank you on the back? What did you say in it?

I'm at a loss, particularly because FI's family is so split up with his mom & his dad being divorced and his dad's gf having been in FI's life much longer than his mom's bf. I don't want to do something specific, just a general thanks to the parents, and maybe something general to the gusts for coming. I'm also going to make a simple map with directions to the reception.

We had a thank you on the back, along with our new address (we moved to a new apartment/town at the time).  A map to reception, like you said, would be nice.

You have "Declaration of Consent" listed as one of the elements, but I believe it's called a Declaration of Intent.  Like you said, you could include the songs next to each element, or the scripture reading.  Also, if you're looking to put more of something on there, you could explain the relationship of each person in the bridal party.  Like...
Brian, brother of the groom
Todd, friend of the groom

Sarah, cousin of the bride

This was our thank you:
To our family and friends,

Thank you for joining us today.  It means so much to have you here to celebrate the beginning of our new life together.  We are so lucky to have so many people in our lives that care about us.  We would especially like to thank our parents for their constant unconditional love and support.  We would not be who we are today without their love and guidance.
Love, S and A

Thanks for the wording catch! After staring at something for so long it all seems right no matter how wrong it is.

Would you include written directions as well, or just a map?

Simple directions would be nice too, if you've got space for it!

Ditto Abbey.

Out of curiousity, how are you designing your programs? Are they just folded like a book?

chicadelpadre

Yep, just folded like a book. I found a template somewhere and modified it to fit what I wanted. I'm just printing mine on regular comptuer paper, nothing fancy because I figure most of them will end up in the trash before the night is up. I might make 1 fancy one for us to keep in our scrapbook and for the photog to take pics of.
