What about wedding programs?

[Merandab4]

How many of you who had intimate weddings had wedding programs for your guests? Since we would only need a few, I could hand make them, but I thought it might be something nice for our guests as a keepsake or what not. what do you think, is this stupid?

I don't think it's stupid at all, I think it would be a great keepsake. People will always have that to look back on and remember your wedding We didn't have wedding programs but at dinner everyone got to keep their menus from Yachtsmen Steakhouse that was customized to us. I thought about having a program but our ceremony was so simple and we didn't have that many people so we decided against it. Instead we did a Disney Wedding and Honeymoon Itenerary instead just telling everyone what was going to happen when.

Good idea though

I think this is a wonderful idea no matter how small the wedding. I am making them for our wedding guests 40 odd - what was I thinking I think they will make wonderful keepsakes for those that want to.

I am also making the place cards and menus for each guest too.

I hand made my own invites as well - I've really got into making lots of stuff

If you are really hesitant about it, I say go with doctor tigger and make an itinerary. This would be a great keepsake and they could use it for their entire stay, not just the hour or so of the wedding. You could really dress it up and make it interesting too. I plan on doing this myself, that is why I like it so much! LOL

My husband and I decided to make programs for our intimate wedding. We went to a speciality paper store and got ideas. Our wedding was in July, so it was HOT. We made really elegant programs that were fans. Our guests really appreciated them, and they did look nice.

That's a really cute idea tiggerbride - thank you for sharing it

We recently renewed our vows on the disney cruise ship and I made the invitations, programmes and place cards for all nine of our guests!

Go for it and have lots of fun making them, at least they will be personal to you.

Ours was not a Disney Wedding - but we did make a Wedding progam. We printed it on our home computer.....It ended up having a lot more info than we originally planned, so we made it into a booklet. We printed the pages on 8 1/2 x 11 paper, landscape and we printed both sides of the paper - so one sheet of paper was 4 pages. We folded each sheet in half and cut the edges with deckle scissors. The we put them all inside a cardstock cover and tied with ribbon.

We had:

Page 1 - Our names, date and location
Pages 2 & 3 had the wedding ceremony - we listed all the music and the two readings
Pages 4 & 5 & 6 had the wedding party and a few lines about each. (I am Australian, my DH is Canadian, and for a lot of our guests this was the first time they had met each other) e.g.

Maid of Honour Jo XXXXXXX
Hobart, Tasmania
Jo and Rachael met in brownies and 1977 and have been friends ever since. They worked and traveled together in Europe for 2 years, creating havoc whereever they went
Page 7 has the order of the reception
and page 8 had the following:
Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and for luck a penny in her shoe.

Old - a brooch that belonged to Rachael's Great Great Grandmother, lent to Rachael by her Grandmother

New - Dress, shoes, veil, etc

Borrowed - a handkerchief that belonged to Dave's Great Grandmother - lent by the groom's mother

Blue - Rachaels initials and the wedding date are emroidered into the lining of her dress in blue

Penny - a penny from Australia (have been out of circulation since 1984) and a penny from Canada.

Rachael and Dave's toasting glasses were given to them by xxxxx and xxx xxxxxx, Dave's Great Aunt and Uncle. They originally belonged to Dave's Great Grandparents.


It made a great souvenir, and our guests learnt alittle about us, and understood the significance of some of the things we had chosen.

Wow that was longer than I thought!
