My fiance and I are having a private ceremony and having our reception/after party on a later date but its still going to be set up like a regular wedding reception. I was thinking about creating a nice program to give to the guest when they enter which speaks about my fiance and i which will be my husband and I. I was thinking about including a picture of us on the front of it and putting the actual date we got married, when and where we met, our high school names, birthdays, just some random stuff about us... can you help me think of something unique I can add to the program.
Ill also have on their when we will do our toast, lightning of a unity candle., first dance, and cutting of our COngratulations cake... trying to make it like a real reception but the only thing we are going to already be married for maybe a month or two.
I JUST WANT SOME OTHER IDEAS, THAT I MAY NOT THINK OF ... YOU GUYS ARE GREAT...
THANKS LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU

Include how you met, where was your first date, 'your song' and why it's special to you.
Put a thank you to everyone in your life who has shown you through example what love is all about.

It's your wedding, do what makes you happy! There are no rules. At our wedding we had the guests arrive at around 7 pm so it was after dinner. We held the ceremony in the same room as the reception. So as guests arrived, we were there greeting them and mingling before we were even married. That broke the ice and made a really warm and excited environment. When it was time to get married we just moved to the front of the room, and everyone quieted down and we had the ceremony. People were standing and sitting, with drinks or without. We then moved straight into the reception, no meal so no head table or table assignments. We just had some tables around the room and people could sit at them if they wanted. We had a buffet of finger food and appetizers. The MC announced what we needed when we needed, my dad wanted to say something, we had a couple of speeches, when we cut the cake, but again, really casual. Then we danced the night away. People said afterwards that it was so nice to have it all so familiar and easy going, they felt much more included than in traditional weddings, and it seemed warmer and more loving. We had a blast and it made the whole thing a lot less stressful for us. We had 135 people and it all went off without a hitch! Good luck!

Do you have software that would allow you to lay it out like a newspaper? You could have headlines, photos, and little articles about you, your wedding party, any special people you want to acknowledge, and the wedding events. Maybe a "Classified" section -- "LOST: my heart to Joe, 10/1/05, corner of 1st & Main;" "SWF seeks SWM for lifetime commitment." The actual program can be a full page ad in the middle of the paper. Possibilities are endless. Congrats and good luck!

Hi and congratulations:
I really don't have much to add....except one thing to DELETE? Are you sure you want to do a Unity Candle? This is usually done during the actual wedding ceremony. I have never seen or heard of this being done at a reception. I would eliminate that.
In addition to the things you have, you may also want to write about your maid/matron of honor (name, how you know her) and your best man (name and how you know him), if indeed you are having a maid/matron of honor and best man.
You may want to say something of "thanks" to your parents.
If you are needing things to fill up any "space," along with the time line you may want to list what is on the menu.
Good luck!

Sounds like you already have all the ideas for the program.
You also want to include special family members or the Best Man and Maid of Honor and any thank yous that you want to include.
Make sure to use all the space, front backa nd both inside pages!!
Good luck!

If you both have good relationships with your parents and they are still together you can inlcude their wedding pictures also. You could have the wedding ceramony taped and then inlcude the link to a site where the reception guests can view the ceramony.
