Actually WR: Programs

When I list everyone in the program, is it in the order they go down the aisle? Alphabetical? Where do I put the priest, altar server and cantor (who are all related to us)?

I put people in the order they're going down the aisle. I'm not help with the others because I'm not having a religious ceremony.

I don't know if there's an "official" way, but perhaps your church has an example. If not, it means they don't care how you list everyone. :-)

I vote you tell your FI he has to find out for you ;o) Has he backed off the Groomzilla train yet?

I did the priest in his own category. I listed the WP in alphabetical order (also the order they went down the aisle). Any order is fine, though. We had a mass, so I listed the order of the mass and listed participants under when they were involved. Like I listed the first reading, and then listed the readers name, and listed the song for bringing up the gifts and listed the bearers there. If we'd had a cantor, I would have put his name under the first song. For the altar server, I would probably put them under the priest.

Disclaimer: Not Catholic, and not having a religious ceremony. But, as best I remember from past weddings, they are listed after the priest, in descending order of importance. So - all the religious titles grouped together, and the rest of the WP grouped together.

Seriously, though, I'm pretty sure all the wedding programs I've seen have the official listed first then the wedding party in descending order of 'importance' then ushers. Readers were listed with the reading within the order of service, so I'd assume alter servers, cantors etc would be the same.

I listed the priest first. Then the parents, BP (we only had 2 on each side so I listed MOH before BM, and BM before GM). Then readers, gift bearers, altar servers, and musicians. PIB

*officiant, not official.

i did mine alphabetically by title; program in bio under FAF links.

Thanks ladies. FI has backed off the groomzilla behavior and has taken over several projects under the threat of severe bodily harm.We're actually not putting the Liturgy order in the programs. The priest has little booklets. That's why I wasn't sure how to put it all together. Basically, I'm just listing people's names on one side and putting directions to the reception on the other. I'll check out your pics though!

In that case, I'd be inclined to list the priest first, then wedding party then all others in the order they'll appear in the service.

Ok, just thought of another question. So, I know you can't do "The Late Whoever" on invitations, but what about in programs?I don't really want to put my dad and step-mom for "Parents of the Bride" because I feel like it's dishonoring my mom. I know that might sound weird but I can't really explain what I mean. But I'm not really sold on putting The Late belsMom. That seems morbid to me.Do you have any alternatives?

I once went to a wedding where the FOB was listed in the program as "The Beloved ___". I thought that was sweet.

NotNumbers · November 2009

Isn't there some sort of notation they use to indicate someone is deceased on family trees and suchlike?? Maybe a (d)? If so, perhaps you could put something like Belsmum (d) for it to show she has passed away without being as blatant as The Late. Other than that, I got nuthin.

Golfer'sLady · November 2009

I put mine in sort of an order of importance. Parents, grandparents, matron of honor, best man, readers, greeter, priest, organist, etc.
