For those making their own programs

What are you putting on the cover of the program and how are you doing it? Are you downloading something, or leaving it blank?

We are getting married at oheka so I'm probably putting a picture of a castle on the front with a quote from shakesphere or something on it describing our love. Might put our names and wedding date on the top, not sure yet, may be on the second page though.

Re: For those making their own programs

Here's a picture of my programs. I'm having a medieval theme wedding, so I picked a cool gothic font. The words are hard to read in the picture but it says:

The
Wedding
Ceremony
of

Name
&
Name

June 1, 2003

(wax seal)

'True love is the greatest thing in the world.' (from the Princess Bride).

It opens to three panels. On the left is the listing of the bride & groom's names, parents names, bridal party names. The middle panel is the program, and the right panel is the Thank You spot.

I bought the paper at Michael's in the bridal aisle.

Hope that helps!

Re: For those making their own programs

chmpgnrose ~ that rose paper is the same program paper i bought! but i'm doing it landscape style so it'll be the front and back of my programs. i checked out the close-up pics .. what paper did you use inside? was it plain white paper? and how did you attach it (were there staples, or just that one ribbon?)

thanks!
