Answer 1

I printed my own on Micrsoft Word. If you are familiar with that program you can do it. You just have to figure the size of paper you're using and how you want it set up. First thing would be the bride and groom's name, the wedding date, and the location. Then you would list what is going to happen. Like, seating of the mothers, attendant's processional, bride's processional, the recessional, whatever you're doing and in the order that you're doing it. Then you would list the officiant's name, then the person playing music for the walks down the aisle (if you have one) and you can list the names of the songs if you want to, but you don't have to. Then it's the bride's parents, the groom's parents, and the attendants (list them in the order that they walked down the aisle), then the best man, and maid of honor. And lastly, the flower girls and ringbearers. You can include a thank you if you want to. I just thanked everyone for being there. And you can add where the reception is if you're having it at a different location. If you have a special relative you can mention them, too. I made my own and included some clip art in them. If you search the internet for wedding programs, you'll get websites that have samples and that will help you figure out how you want yours set up. Good luck!

I just got married two months ago, so I know the headache. For my programs, I went to Target and bought a kit they sell for wedding programs. In it you get the paper and some samples so you can pick and choose what you want. When you are done, just print them off on your home computer. It's really easy.
Traditionally in a wedding program you mention all of the people in the wedding party in the order which they enter. Here you also mention the partents and the person who is performing the ceremony. You can also list any readings or songs and it is also the place for any honorable mentions or special thank yous. I hope this helps.

Your wedding day is as special and as individual as you are. Everything about it should reflect your uniqueness, especially your ceremony. This is the one day in your lives when you have the opportunity to publicly express your love for each other and make your own special promises and vows to each other.
Programs can be as elaborate or as simple as you wish.
Elements of a wedding program:
The cover
Typically includes the date and/or the names of the couple. It may also include the location and time of the ceremony, a picture, or design element (such as a flower, scroll, etc.)
The order of events:
If you haven't already included your names, wedding date, location, and time on the front cover, consider listing that information on the inside just before the order of events. Then list what will happen during the ceremony, including processional music, greeting, readings, prayers, exchange of vows, ring ceremony, unity candle ceremony, pronouncement of marriage, recessional music, and any other ceremony music. Your list may not include all of these elements, and it may include some traditions not listed here. Be sure to list the events in the order they will occur.
Members of the bridal party:
This is a simple list of the names and roles of your bridal party.
Officiant:
Parents of the bride
Parents of the groom
Stepparents of the groom: (If Applicable)
Grandparents
Maid of Honor
Best Man
Bridesmaids
Groomsmen:
Flower Girl
Ring Bearer:
Readers:
Thank yous:
Memorials (for example: The memorial candle is lit in honor of OR On this day of happiness, we would like to remember those who are no longer with us.
A short sentence about each of your bridesmaids and groomsmen, describing why they are important to you.

An explanation of the significance of the location, theme, first dance song, etc. (for example: the reception will be held at Coldwater Restaurant, the site of the bride and groom's first date.)

Quotes or poems about love or marriage

Answer 4

I had a whimsical like wedding. Everything I did was way different than any other wedding I have been to or seen. I made mine myself like a story book. I had kind of like hard paper for the hard cover of the book. And I named it. Then I took pieces of paper that looked like old pieces of paper and printed it off of my computer in the font and style I wanted. I wrote like a small short story (very creative) of how me and my husband met. Then listed how the program would go on another page. I listed the music and the duets. I also put a small funny summary of how I met each one of the people in my bridal party. I then put a very small thank you note on the last page. It was very fun and easy. Everyone got a big kick out of it. And it was something people could read before the wedding about how we all came together. It was truely like a story book. And it wasn't very expensive. I also just got my cousin's g/f to hand them out. Just do what matches your wedding and what you feel like doing. Don't get stressed out. It will all work out in the end. You don't have to go by the book. Put what you want in the programs. Enjoy your wedding and congrats!

Answer 5

Who hands them out.. get yourself 2 girls or a girl and a boy... no less then 10 years old and no older then 16 they are called Greeters.. they hand out the programs and the bubbles or rice or what ever you are using. they should also be included in the program.

i had me a 12 and 13 year old girls .. i asked them and there mother she got them nice dresses and they were the first thing people saw as they came in the door.. so whoever u get.. make sure they are going to dress nice.!

Ask the church about getting them printed out from them.. all you do is fill out a paper who is what and who they are in the wedding. and they set it all up.. you just pick out what type of card that you want.. and most of the time they are dirt cheap to get printed and it is a professional job.. people can tell a home made program

Answer 6

On this inside of our programs I wrote the order of the ceremony, including readings and who was doing them. I think I wrote the music that I walked down the aisle to. Then I typed up one of our readings, because kids were doing it and I wanted people to be able to follow it better. Next I put little notes about each of our attendants (this took up a bit of space because we had 6 people on each side plus a ring bearer), special thanks and on the back a little note thanking guests for coming to the wedding.

Our wedding ceremony was at a winery, and from the parking lot you had to walk down a stairway, so the programs were in a basket at the top of the stairway along with paper fans (it was reeeeally hot that day!).

Answer 7

When I got married the church printed them off for me, all I had to have was a sample. I had an extra usher pass them out. I had a half of page front and back. One side had the attendants and at the bottom a special thanks. The other side had the order of the wedding. Good luck and congradulations.

Answer 9

They are not necessary at all. I think I've only been to one wedding that handed them out. Waste of paper since most people throw them out anyway. The wedding party can be introduced at the reception.

Answer 10
