Making a Wedding Program

Wedding programs are important parts of any wedding ceremony. Not only do they inform your guests of the order in which things will occur, they act as special keepsakes from your special day.

Here's what you should include on your wedding program:

The full name of the bride

The full name of the groom

The name of the official performing the ceremony

The date and time of the wedding

The location of the wedding

An introduction to the proceedings

The order in which different elements of the ceremony will happen

The titles, composers and singers of any songs

The names of the members in the wedding party

A thank-you to everyone who participated in the wedding and reception

The honoring of departed family members or relatives who could not attend

A thank-you to all the attendees

You can add or subtract certain aspects from your wedding program to suit your individual needs and preferences. When it comes to printing your programs, you can do it yourself using your computer or order your programs from a wedding stationery company. For an elegant and classic look, match your programs to the color and typeface of your wedding invitations. Make sure to choose acid-free paper to ensure your wedding programs stay in their original condition for years to come.
