Hi everyone!
I am attempting to make my own programs and just wanted to see if most people used cover stock or card stock for their programs...I have a greek orthodox ceremony explanation in my program, so it will be four pages front and back (crazy I know). Which should I use?

    I am not sure about cover stock, but isn't card stock a little to thick to put into a home printer?

    Editing my answer because poster below has it correct.  I do think you want to use cardstock though over coverstock because the coverstock is thicker.

    Short answer because I gave a long confusing answer.  You probably want cardstock.  If you are looking for white Walmart has a very affordable pack of 150 for around $5.  Its pretty good quality too.

    The weight of the paper is not how many sheets per pound, it is how many pounds per ream (500 sheets) of 17x22 paper.  So a 110 lb cardstock would be heavier and therefore thicker than an 80 lb coverstock.
    I have some 67lb coverstock at home that I got from staples and have printed on it just fine with my inkjet printer.  I also had no problems printing on the cardstock I got from cards & pockets for my invites.

    We are going to use cardstock as a cover and then regular paper inside, mostly because like you, we have a super long program! It's a traditional Hindu ceremony, so it's long and there is a lot to explain!
