Programs....

bdgrl73 · February 2012

I know some of us are doing DIY Programs. I've been doing the same...however, I'm about to scream...because I can't get everything to line up...that being said...any of you lovely ladies have a template for a Layered Program you're willing to share??

I had decided to try to do DIY programs but was running into the same problem. I found these blank tri-fold programs at JoAnn's. They were 15 dollars for 50. I'm just going to use a 50% off coupon and go in twice so I have 100 of them. This way I'm still making them but it's taking the hassle out of trying to line everything up. They were wilton tri-fold programs. I will probably add some sort of band or ribbon around them to jazz them up.

bdgirl, I'm doing a layered program as well - I just created one cell "tables" in Word and did each layer on a separate document. Then when I cut them out, they're all the same column size. I just changed the row size to be what I needed for each layer.

I did the same but with bi-folds and I'm pretty sure I got them at Michael's in a pack of 100. Jo Ann's actually had an entirely different brand but they look exactly the same in a 50 count. So I'm going to make 50 for 170 or less guests. I plan on hole-punching and adding ribbon to the fold to bring in some color and make this as simple of a process as possible!!

I'm not sure what a layered program is. I downloaded a template from Word to do our four-page program. I haven't yet figured out how to get our border onto it, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. I'm planning on having them printed out at Office Max.

Are you doing 4 pages or 5?? Do you mind sharing the dimensions you used...I don't want to give up just yet...but I'm close to it...

What Template did you find?? Layered looks really pretty...but I'm open to suggestions..and then I also wanted to go through Office Max or Staples to print them too..

I'm not doing layered ones - all I am doing is cutting cardstock in half (so 4.25") and then I am tying them together with jute. But all i did was create the size in a Word Document and carry it throughout. I hope you find something soon, maybe google search free downloadable layered program?

andreamarie77 · February 2012

bdgirl, mine is 4 pages total: the cover, the wedding party page, the love verses page (what our officiant is reading during the ceremony) and the back page of just colored cardstock (as a backing). There's a picture of it in my bio if you want to take a look - not the finished product obviously!

We aren't having a long ceremony, so I didn't print a page for that. But here's what I used for mine:
Cover page: 5.7" (row height) x 3.3" (column height)
WP page: 6.3" (row) x 3.3" (column)
LV page: 7" (row) x 3.3" (column)
Back cover: 8" (row) x 3.3" (column)

Doing it this way allowed me to get three of each column on one page, but I did also put one tiny 0.16" column in between each one so that I could cut them easier. Having different row heights means you have to have each one in a separate document.

GL!!

I am doing a similar layered program (see attached). I have not started them yet but the attached link does give step by step instructions as well as a template to follow. It seems easy enough and I am hoping with will work for me when it comes time for me to start the process.

Hope this helps!

I was looking at the DIY's on wedding bee and found step by step directions. This might help.
