In order for everyone to know what’s going on during the ceremony, having a wedding program is a necessity. The program tells your guests what’s happening and when. There’s no need to tell your guests what to expect if all of this information is in the program.
To determine what you would like to include in your program first consider what type of wedding you are having. You can include an order of events, identify the members of the wedding party, specify the time, date and place of the ceremony, your officiants name, titles of music played or any special readings. And you can also list the names of your musicians, soloists or readers.
Optional items can be included as well such as: special “Thank You’s” to parents, special messages to the wedding guests, explanations of special religious or ethnic wedding traditions, and/or special poems or readings. But if you prefer simple you can keep it short and only include important information that is perfectly fine. It all depends on your personal taste and preference.
Once you have decided what you want to put in your program you can start thinking about what type of program you want to use in order to include all of the information you want. Booklet Programs such as square booklet programs, vertical booklet programs, Specialty Programs such as layer programs and circle programs, and Fan Programs are all options to consider while making your choice.
