Cheap & Unique Wedding Programs (On Etsy)
The Anatomy of a Wedding Program
Wedding programs are a great way to keep your guests feeling included and engaged in the celebration. Create one just for the ceremony, a separate one for the reception or design one that will outline the entire night’s festivities.
It’s important that you include some of the most essential details though.
Although including a wedding program is optional, if you do decide to use them it’s essential that you include all of the most important information.
First, you want to make sure that you’ve got the basics:
The names of the couple getting married.
The names of those in the wedding party.
A breakdown of the ceremony or reception: song lists, prayers, unity ceremony, etc.
Any songs/hymns/readings that guests can follow along with.
Second, add some extras to personalize the program
Descriptions of family/cultural/religious traditions that they’ll see throughout the event.
A personal story.
Photos of the couple as children or big moments throughout their relationship.
A map of the ceremony or reception area.
Thank you’s to parents, families, and friends.
