Are wedding programs necessary??

My FH insists that we have to have them, but are they really worth the extra money??? What are your opinions girls?

Also, where did you get yours if you did them?? And if you don't mind how mcuh were there.

I don't think they are necessary, but they are nice to have.

I bought inexpensive paper from paper direct and am printing my own on the computer. No bows or ribbon. It's cost 27.99.

they aren't necessary, but it is nice to have them. people will then know who everyone is (bridal party, parents, grandparents etc...) you can also put information about the ceremony/mass such as readings. i find it helpful....they don't have to be too costly...we are going to do ours ourselves.

We bought the paper from a Church store for $9.99, for 100 sheets and are printing them ourselves. Not really an extra expense.

I asked one of my friends this-- she said, if they are there, I read them. If they are not, I don't miss them.

We are going to try to do our own.. using a script/calligraphy style Microsoft font, printed on high quality paper. I cannot imagine this will cost more than 30 ot 40 bucks.

If they come out like sh*t, we'll nix the idea.

I agree - it's one of things that if it's there I'll read it and take it home but if it's not there I'm not exactly searching high and low for it. I personally like them a lot and I've seen a lot of different variations. I plan on making my own and I figured that at $0.11 per sheet - two sheets per program I'm looking at $11.00 for 50 programs - printing - whatever the ink cost and the ribbon was $3.00. So basically $20.00.

We didn't have them . We thought they weren't necessary. I have been to many weddings that had them but also a bunch that didn't.

I just made my own wedding programs, for a whopping $20! I bought a stack of 500 parchment papers, a template from MS Word and viola!

It's not necessary -- it's just nice to have. I'm making my own for as little $ as possible!
