At least three days before The Day-
Have hen party, allow your fiancee to have stag party WITHOUT criticising it. Do Not have these the night before your wedding. That's inviting trouble.
On The Day-
Permit your mother and immediate family to make a fuss instead of you worrying. Have a Light breakfast - DO NOT skip breakfast, even if you normally do. Make a fuss of your father, he'll be feeling quite upset under the jollity because he's losing someone precious.
Allow the Best Man to organise your fiancee. There are good books on his duties in this regard from WH Smith. Make sure he knows what to do.
Don't be "fashionably late" for your wedding. It's actually very rude to the guests and officials and will delay following couples.
Limit the booze at the Reception to the welcoming sherry and a glass of wine/pint of beer at the table. Some twits will abuse alchohol and spoil things if you make it possible.
Let them get drunk at your evening party if you're having one.
Remember to play music that your parents and aunts/uncles/granny have a dance too at some point. Continuous loud "wall of sound" will encourage excess drinking and "somebody" will make an *** of themsleves.
Don't try and be too prescriptive. If you're not a Hollywood fashion slave the over organising will only lead to stress and upset - probably for you at first then for your family.
Let the officials guide you and your family help you. Your job is to relax and enjoy the day without worrying about "the programme", it'll slip anyway so don't fret.

Most often, wedding programs are reserved for lengthy and/or religious ceremonies that will include mass. You will need to include all of the details of the mass, just as you'd see in the weekly publications your church provides. Basically, it's a step-by-step agenda of what's happening at the ceremony.
In addition to that, you will want to include the names and titles of each person in the wedding party.
For the most part, the specialist at your stationery store should be able to tell you what you might be missing. He or she should walk you through each piece of stationery, and let you know what is traditional and what is most commonly done. When in doubt, rely on the professionals!

What a waste of trees!! Don't you have favors for people to take home to remember the event? Aren't there enough guests who've been to weddings before for your ignorant guests to imitate here?
If you print everyone's names, you won't have anything to talk about in the receiving line or safe things for your relatives to talk about at the reception. (This is how fights start, when they run out of safe things and start talking about old wounds or probing for embarrassing new stuff.)
Most people have been to enough weddings to figure out what's happening and don't need be told that the mothers come in just before the bridesmaids. If you're doing something strange that the guests need to be warned in advance about, that's what you're paying the minister or officiant to do. The ushers can talk to the guests, too.
BTW, you don't have something as traditional as a receiving line for other people, you have it for yourself. That way, everyone who wants to talk to you will get a chance. You and your husband will not have to spend hours at the reception trying to find and recognize correctly every one of your older relatives and your parents' friends so that you can say you spoke to them. Your parents stand next to you in the line and remind you who these folks are and you get to introduce your friends to them. (It's very efficient and lets people spend most of the reception with the folks they really wanted to see and talk to.)
