In Episode 3 of The Made In SK Wedding Show we talk about wedding programs.  We made our own wedding programs using Microsoft Word and just got them printed at Staples.  After each page was printed it was just a matter of folding them together, hole punching them, and binding them with some ribbon.

One idea that we stole from some friends of ours was to include a story of how we know each member of our wedding party and why we chose them to be part of our day.  It gave people something to read before the ceremony and it let people know a little bit more about who everyone was and why they were there.

We’ve uploaded a condensed sample version of our wedding program at http://www.skweddingwebsite.com/f/programideas.doc.  Feel free to download it and use it as a cheat sheet or guide.

Here’s some pictures of the finished product as well:

Some other things that you might want to include in your wedding programs include:

  • Who is participating in the wedding ceremony – ushers, organist, music, readings, pastor/priest, family of the bride/groom, etc.
  • Order of events
  • Thank you messages
  • Readings
  • Poems
  • Note when/if flash photography or any photography is allowed

What are we missing?  What did you do or are thinking about doing for your wedding programs?
