View Wedding Program Designs
Documents and Designs Wedding Programs are One Of A Kind, Custom & Personalized.They act as a guide to the guests, leading them through the ceremony step by step. Every wedding program is designed per the customers specifications. This means that you can choose paper colors, custom monograms, illustrations, layouts and fonts that coordinate with a celebration theme or decor.
Wedding Programs serve quite a few purposes at a ceremony. They act as a guide to the guests, leading them through the ceremony step by step by listing readings, poems, quotes, or religious rituals that might take place. They give the guests details about the bride and groom, such as where they met or how the proposal went. They introduce the bridal party to guests and the bride and grooms reasons for including them in the wedding. Finally, programs make a great memento.
You can include as many or as few details as you wish in your wedding programs.It all depends on the magnitude, the variety and breadth of intercultural rituals you expect to have, and the formality of the wedding.
Traditions vary from one religion to another. So, to keep everyone on the same page, especially those of a different faith, a program allows people grasp the greater meaning behind the different parts of the service.
Creating the Program
Programs can be styled in a variety of ways.
Card Style - Single Sheet Printed (1) or (2) Sides/ (2) available pages.
Folded Style - Single sheet folded and scored, printed (2) sides/(4) available pages.
Folded Style with Insert - Heavyweight Cover with lighter weight interior pages, folded, scored and stuffed/(8) available pages.
Traditionally, the normal setup for a program goes as follows:
Cover Page
This is where you list the full names of the bride and groom, the date, the time, and the location of the wedding. It may even
have a photo of the couple, a monogram, or a visual element that is representative of the wedding.
Order of Events
Depending on the amount of information you want to include, this portion may take up several pages. You may list more than just the order of the event, but the names of the songs, prayers, or readings that you use as well as the lyrics of special songs or even the words from some of the prayers or readings. If you wish, also give brief explanations of certain rituals, or why you chose to include particular elements
of the ceremony. In some cases, you might mention when you want the audience to participate in the ceremony (singing, communion, kneeling, standing, etc.).
Bridal Party
This is where you list the names and titles of all people in your bridal party. Some people include a short sentence or two about who these people are and how they are significant to the bride and groom.
Thank You, Remembrance and Acknowledgements
This is usually the last page of the program which gives memorials (to deceased family members), thanks to those involved in the wedding, and the guests. You may also choose to include information regarding the reception as well, such as directions to the location, first dance lyrics and meaning, and significance of the reception site.
