Ask CB readers: Wedding Programs

Mar 31, 2009

CB reader and bride-to-be Holly wrote in with the following dilemma regarding her wedding programs. While I've personally replied to her with my own suggestions, if you have any ideas that could also help her, please feel free to leave a comment below. :o)

I need some help … wedding programs. I have been reading your blog for over a year now (I am a little obsessed) and I remembered that you did your own wedding programs. My dilemma is that I don’t even know where to start!! I have looked at some online sites, but I can’t find a template. Maybe I am just looking in the wrong place though. I wish I could just find one that I could just plug in my stuff and be done. But since I can’t find such a template I thought you could answer a couple of questions to help get me started. [...] If you can think of anything [...] that may help us, it would be much appreciated!!!!

  1. I looked on my stationer's website at their displayed programs as a starting point. I added and subtracted what was appropriate for us! Hope this helps!

  2. I think the most important thing is to have some idea of the format you want - book, scroll, fan..... the possibilities for programs are so endless, that without an idea of the format, it's really hard to even find the right template!

    Usually you need to have the bridal party, parents, sometimes grandparents listed, and then an order of events (especially important if there are a lot of things that guests may not be familiar with, such as standing, sitting, kneeling at specific times). A program is just there to help your guests get the most out of your ceremony - they are not even required!
