    I was at a wedding over the summer where it was a program AND worship aid with lyrics to the songs to encourage full, active, conscious participation, especially for those who aren't Catholic. Are you thinking about doing that at all?

    It looks good!!  More information might be helpful, too, as recommended by PPs.

    Our parish is doing our programs for us and I wanted to include more information on the Mass parts for our guests who aren't Catholic, but our music director is going to instead reference the hymnal numbers that has the order of the Mass spelled out for those who would like to follow along.  I really like it when they print the music in the worship guide, so that might be worth checking into and having your music person help you with referencing the appropriate copyrights and printing permissions if you'd like to do that!

    Due to the size we can't fit much more.
    A lot of my side is religious and have been to other denominations before.
    We are doing paddle fans. 5x7 pages. the back page will list all the people in the weddng party, ushers, priest, parents, etc.

    the responsorial psalm is listed in my OP with the verse.

    We are using the following music:
    Procession - Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring
    Communion - The Supper of the Lord
    Signing of the Register - Ava Maria
    Recessional - Joyful Joyful
