What to include in program?

Rachel405

Can anyone give tips for what to include in program? Off the top of my head, I have

Ceremony order
-Do I list the music?
-Where to list the names of readings?
Wedding party

and that's basically it. Has anyone included a quote?

Also, we want to put a tasteful, subtle line in rememberance of FI's grandfather, any suggestions for how to do that?

My program is 8.5x11 cardstock folded lengthwise, so it is two long sides:

Side 1:
The ceremony uniting
bride
&
groom

date
place

Wedding party

Side 2:
The ceremony (which includes in order)
prelude music
reading (and name of person reading)
declaration of intent
reading (and name of person reading)
exchange of vows
exchange of rings
unity ceremony
declaration of marriage
prayer
recessional
seating of parents
processional
opening prayer
thank you and acknowledgements

To answer your questions. Yes list the music! Put the names of the readings with where they are in the order of ceremony. 

This is what all I am putting in my invites:

Parents and grandparents names
WP and how they are related to us including RB and FG
Officiant 
Reception information
Thank you's
Honored Guests


As far as how to mention your FI's passed on grandfather I would just say something like: For those who can't be here today you are here with us in spirit. 

Hope this helps!

As above, but they don't get listed at all.  Passing out items is a job, not a position in the wedding party.
