Wedding Programs
Wedding Programs
Wedding ceremony programs are truly thoughtful components of wedding stationary. The wedding programs are beautiful wedding keepsakes that will be help your guests identify the members of the extended wedding party and follow the ceremony more easily.
Guests will especially appreciate the wedding programs if your wedding style includes more than one culture or faith. Programs for the wedding will give you a chance to explain important rituals. Wedding programs will also be an aid to your guests by providing the words to songs or prayers if you want guests to participate.
Your unique wedding programs can be as formal or informal as you wish. If your wedding is formal, the wedding programs should be in keeping with the rest of your wedding. If you have chosen a contemporary theme, the style of the wedding programs can follow through with that wedding theme. For example, seashells printed on a lovely handmade paper would be a wonderful idea for a beach wedding theme.
Possible things to include in the wedding program wording:
- The place of the wedding ceremony, along with the date and time
- The order of the wedding service. This should include any music and the names of the musicians.

- The names of the participants, including the couple, their parents, the wedding party, the person performing the wedding, the organist and other musicians and readers.
- This is an excellent place to explain wedding customs that are unique to your faith or culture.
- You could also include a message of thanks and/or a tribute to a deceased friend of relative.
