What to include in program?

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.
