Program Help

I am starting to write our program for our wedding in just over 3 weeks. My FI and I have been living together for 7 months now. Should I include our address on the program or not? If so, I can't say something like "You are welcome at our new home anytime" then give the address. So, do any of you creative brides out there have any tips on how I can word it without saying it's our new home, since my FI moved in about 6 years ago!? Thanks for any help!!

    I would say just leave it off altogether. I can't recall ever seeing the couple's address on the program.

  • I think it's only important if the bride and groom will be moving in someplace new.  We moved into our house together the day of our wedding, so we did put our new address on the program.  In your case, it's hardly new information so I wouldn't bother.
  • You wedding program is a special keepsake. I think it would be a little odd to use it to communicate something mundane like your mailing address.

    I'm sending out marriage announcement postcards after the wedding that close with:

    The LastNames are at home at:
    Address
    E-Mail
    Phone

    Good luck!
  • I think it depends on the vibe of your wedding.  If you're going for formal, I'd leave it out.  I did have one friend who included it with hers, but I can't recall if it was at the end of the program or just a separate sheet/card that came with.

    If you've been at the place for awhile and a majority of the guests (or at least the ones that need to know) already have the address, I don't think it's necessary.

    I'm having a hard time coming up with any kind of saying that isn't "new house" related.  My friends were moving shortly after the wedding, so theirs was something like "Upon return from (honeymoon spot) on (date), the _________ Family will begin their new life together at (address)"  Something like that.  It was also a semi-casual type of wedding.

    If you still want to include it, you might just do something simple on the bottom/last page:
    The __________ Family
    1111 A Street
    City, State Zip

    Basically to say that it's no longer two separate people living together (or one person's house that another person stays at), but now your family, or your couple as a whole.
