Wedding Program: WWYD?
Here is a pic of my wedding program. Umm, it might be too small to really see the words. Huh. I didn't really think of that.
Anyway, my question was what would you change? Should the wording match the formality of the invitations perfectly, or should programs be a little less formal? Are there any sections you'd change? Something else you'd include?
I asked FMIL whether she and FFIL want to include the "In Memory" section. Her mother and both his parents are gone, but I didn't want to make an assumption about how they wanted their parents listed. It kinda makes me sad because even though I never met any of them, I have all my grandparents and then some (divorce and whatnot) and FI only has one grandpa left.
Of course, FMIL hasn't given me an answer yet.
Anyway, none of this info is mine (except the first name and date) so don't worry. I dunno whose program it used to be.
I am going to tie purple ribbons through the top at the fold.

"Friday, the fourth of June
two thousand and ten
at half past seven in the evening"
And these programs are less formal than that. But I may have been the one who changed that to be more formal in the first place...
Good grief I hate these stupid little things. Big stuff I can handle. It's little details that get me frustrated.

I dunno, having the same information on the front and at the top of the inside seems kind of superfluous to me. Thoughts?

Like you said, I don't think you need to repeat this:

INSIDE:

Maybe you could just have your names and the date?
