Programs?

kriistinuh · February 2012

I'm thinking about the ceremony programs and was curious what info everyone will be including?

How should I list our bridal party? We have two best men, a matron of honor and maid of honor.

We are having a Catholic ceremony so we're including the songs, readings, responsorial psalms, etc,

We are also including our parents and grandparents.

As far as bridal party, I would list your BMs first, probably Matron followed by Maid but I"m not 100% positive on that; and then list your best men. I would list them in the order in which they are standing next to you.

Some people also include a little "thank you" to their guests, usually on the back.

I'm just listing the people and then outlining the ceremony

Mine is a tri-fold. We included some basic information about the wedding (day, time, location) a summary of the wedding ceremony, and then our parents and attendants. Our order went: my parents, his parents, my grandparents, my MOH, his BM, my BMs, his GMs, FG, RB, Usher.

Then on the back, we have specific times where the congregation is supposed to follow along and do a sort of "call and response" type participation. Like the pastor will ask if they, friends and family, will support Scott and I in our marriage, help us, etc, and they say, "We will."

Yes! This is something I just began to think about. I have no clue what I want my programs to look like. Not sure if I want them to look traditional or not, what to include, and how to the layout should look. Any suggestions?

We are listing the members of the wedding party on the front, and then we have a thank you message on the backside of our program. Our ceremony isn't going to be very long, since it's not a religious ceremony, so I didn't feel the need to put a ceremony order of events on it. I did write a kind of long thank you message on the back, thanking our parents, people helping with stuff in the wedding, and thanking guests for coming, etc. Pretty simple. We weren't going to do programs, but I have a Vistaprint groupon burning a hole in my pocket that I have to use, so it seemed like the most logical thing to do.

Here are some sites that have templates for wedding programs:

DD wasn't sure she wanted programs either, but I think we decided to do at least something basic...probably a single sheet with a design similar to her invitations. At this point it will just be a listing of parents and wedding party and a thank you message, plus info about the shuttle service - - but no ceremony outline.

DD #1's programs were kind of a 'booklet'- Her colors were chocolate brown and green so we used a sheet of brown heavy paper folded length-wise. The sheets/pages inside were bound with a green ribbon, and we stamped a fern on the outside (part of her outdoor theme).

She included a site map, ceremony outline, thank you to special vendors/helpers (musicians, coordinators, etc), shuttle service information, thank you message - and my favorite part was the bridal party listings: she had a photo of each person with a little funny blurb written about them and their relationship to her or her new hubby. You know- the typical stuff that would be said during the introductions when the wedding party arrives at the reception. They weren't doing that , so they included it in the program.
