Ceremony Program

I am going to be getting married in Yosemite and we are not allowed any voice amplification devices. I am afraid that people are not going to be able to hear the ceremony. I was thinking that we could incorporate the ceremony script into the programs so that people could read long. Is this ok or does anyone have any suggestions?

    I'm not so sure that it's a great idea.  People generally know what's going on in a ceremony.  But for me, the bigger thought is that people could then have their heads down, reading the "script" instead of watching you as you exchange vows.

    I for one, wouldn't bother reading the script.  I'd much rather see your faces than read along.

    I'm afraid it might be a lot of effort for very little gain.

    How many people are you having?  300 guests?  I think you have a problem.  20 guests?  Everyone will hear you fine.

    We had our ceremony in a park that didn't allow for amplified sound, so we went without.  We talked to our officiant about speaking maybe slightly louder than she normally would.  We had 80 people and later talked to those sitting in the back.  Unless they straight lied to us (which I suppose is possible), the people that we talked to said they could hear just fine.
