Another (new, I swear) program question.

Hi everyone! I know there's been a lot of program questions lately, but I have a new one (I think).

My parish makes the actual program for us - citing copyright laws, they mandate that they are the only one to able do it. They wouldn't allow us to create our own, even if we let them vet it first. I have absolutely zero problem with this! Less work for me. :)

However, they do not list the bridal party or family members. I understand this too! Most brides (according to the parish wedding coordinator) make a second "who's-who" sort of program. I would like to do this, to shout out all our special people.

Does anyone have any recommendations/templates for this sort of thing? catholicweddinghelp.com didn't seem to. 

In addition, did you and your fiance(e) write a little thank you note on there, or put any quotations, or anything? We're big into customs/traditions/etc. so we made a little "did you know?" list of all the cultural traditions involved in the wedding as something to read while people are getting settled. (I.e., horseshoe sewn into my dress and braided hair are Irish customs, getting married on the half-hour a Southern American custom, etc.)

I would love any ideas!

    Hi,
    We're having a Latin Mass, and so are providing missals for our guests to follow along. So, like you, we're doing that plus a program.

    Are you getting married when its warm? We're planning to DIY something like this--http://www.amazon.com/DIY-Designer-Fan-Program-Paper/dp/B003VZR784

    We'll include our names, bridal party, celbrants and organist, and maybe a Bible verse and a thank you... I have not started yet so I have no idea how much will fit.

    You could maybe make it double-sided, and include the customs on the back! I think that is a neat idea.

    We are also having programs.  We included the responses and the responsorial psalm music sheet.  We also included a thank you note, an explanation on why we escort each other down the aisle, and the Marian devotion.
