wedding programs

I'm trying to make my programs and I want them to be simple, but unique at the same time. I have quite a few people in our wedding party so I need a lot of room to write. I also want some color, but want something pretty easy to do and pretty cheap...any ideas? I've been googling ideas and nothing is really jumping out at me. Thanks!

Re: wedding programs

  • We made our own on cardstock with a neat graphic on the front.  I just did it on my (high quality) inkjet printer and they looked great!
  • I know microsoft has some predone ones, and you just put in your information. Then you can just print them on nice cardstock.

     I made up one for us, but decided to do a VP rack card instead. 

    PM me if you would like a copy as a reference or if you want more info.

    We did 2 pages, printed front to back so that it ended up being 1 sheet, with 1 half sheet insert, also printed front to back.  To add a little extra color, we tied blue ribbon along the spine. We printed them on a heather gray (blue-ish tint) resume paper.

    Front: Our names, date, location with 1 stamped/embossed design in the middle that matched our invitations/cake design.

    Inside Left: Order of Ceremony

    Inside Right: Wedding Party-we listed parents, grandparents, bridal party (4BM, 4 GM), Ushers (4) and officiants (2)

    Back: Thank you and In Memoriam

    Insert Front: Lyrics to our Sand Ceremony Song
    Insert Back: updated driving directions from the ceremony to Reception since they were different from the directions we sent in the invitations due to light rail road construction around the U of M. 

    I did everything in word, in landscape form using 2 columns.

  • We had our stationer design them, and then we printed them ourselves on our printer. She charged like $25 for her labor, and they were much cooler than if we'd designed them ourselves. 
  • I used kits from Michaels with 50% off coupons. They were super easy to use and customize to be what we wanted and were really inexpensive.
