Programs Question

Just wondering, how much time before your wedding are you waiting to print your programs?  I'm just wondering because I pretty much plan to print just a few days before the wedding.  This worked for me one before wjhen I planned a family member's wedding but it looks like some of you are doing this well in advance.

    I would suggest atleast a week or two in advance. I did my progams the night before and day of my wedding and I don't recommend that because it was an extra stress added.

    I think it depends on how involved your programs are.  If you have to assemble, then you need more time.  If it's just a print and fold job, you could do it a few days before of delegrate it to someone to handle for you.

    I did mine 3 weeks out, but I had assembling to do and ribbon to string and tie.... plus a business trip which interrupted my wedding productivity!

    I want be printing all of mine out until after the rehearsal, since the order of things might change if I don't think they look right

    I definitely did mine too early but it only includes the bridal party and doesn't give any ceremony specific information. I had a groupon for mine and it expired on a certain date so I used it to print my escort cards and table numbers and programs. I am kicking myself now though for the programs because nothing in my wedding party seems to be settled. Lol!
    Until the first full year of being one! Anniversary

    As soon as you confirm all the information you can print. No need to wait for th last minute if you don't have too. Trust me, there will be plenty of things for you to worry about besides the programs. I picked mine up from the printed 5 days before the wedding and I thought that was too last minute.

    I am working on mine now and we are 32 days out.  It is one of two DIY projects that I want to do for the wedding. I only want to do the programs and place cards.  I just decided to order the menu cards from the peple who did my invitations.  (partly because they will match and mostly because now I don't have to do them. LOL)
