i want to make my own - but im not sure how expensive and how much time its going to take me - i got to see how much it would cost me to make them and then how much it would cost for my invite lady to make them - i might just have her do them to save me the trouble if its only going to cost me another $100 or less...

We made them, it wasn't so bad, but like PP we just did one sheet, so 4 sides....so they just got printed on both sides then folded....

made my own, it is rather easy depending no the complexity of the finished design will be. I went for a fairly easy to put together program because i figured I might not be the one doing it (my bm's were supposed to do it). Just take a single piece of 8.5 x 11 paper and work off of that (can cut in half can fold it in half etc) programs can be any microsoft product and printed at home. I used indesign

Re: did anyone make their own?

I found templates by googling 'wedding programs' and designed one on word by setting the page orientation to landscape and making two columns. Then I chose a pretty floral graphic for the front and a photo to include inside and played around with the fonts and wording. There is a print feature that allows you to print double sided so all I had to do was fold in half and voila, it was done! It took me probably a couple of hours playing around with it while at work! Not hard at all. I'm not going stress over these because they get tossed/left behind in the church anyway!

Good luck!

I made fan paper programs from the BRIDES collection at Michael's.
They were pretty easy once I got the hang of it.

Re: did anyone make their own?

I was going to make my own, but decided that the ceremony will be so short that we do not need them. I also only have a MOH and BM, no readers, etc - no one to list, so no worries.

But I would imagine they'd be simple to do!

We did.

Heathermatt sent me the template she used and I LOVE it!!! It's done in Publisher, though, so you will need that program to make them. FM me if you want the template!
