Re: Help, programs!

yikes...... ok, that was my DIY from HELL.

I had a full mass, so our program contained the full readings, some prayers, and the music titles.

In the end, we bought program pamphlets from michaels for the inner and outer covers, and had a regular ivory paper insert in the center...... On a standard program (no extra paper insert), it is printed in 'landscape' with 2 column for each side. Pages 1/4 (or columns 1/4) will be on one side of a page, and 2/3 will be on the other, since they will be folded down the center

if you would like, I can FM you my program.

good luck!

Re: Help, programs!

I didn't use template! But here's the deal....u can very easily Type it up in Microsoft word...I used the three column layout....i did a layered program so i just made sure that each layer was atleast a 1/4 - 1/2 lower than the previous(just use the margin measurements in word). Once i printed out the pages, I just used a paper cutter(the paper cutter is KEY if u're going for the layered look)....Getting the first one absolutely right took a little while, but once u figure it out, just write down the measurements, & the rest is a peace of cake. Just cut the rest as u did the first one, and use heavy duty double sided tape to keep them together. I got my cardstock from michaels(SO many colors and super cheap...plus i got 3 programs out of each sheet)....good luck! hope this made sense lol here's a pic....although tedious, they were actually a lot easier than i thought! Plus once i cut all the paper that needed to be cut, i had my mom & MOH help me...we had all of them done within a few hours.
