is anyone not doing programs?

do i need to?

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

I'm not. My ceremony is quick. Save as much money as possible...

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

I was dead set on not doing them because I wanted to save money and I didnt think that they were important but on Sat I went to wedding and I was so happy that they had them The ceremony was only like 30mins or so but I liked the fact that I knew what was coming next. It made the time go by faster and I felt included so now I guess I will have to come up the money to get them

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

i'm not. our ceremony is like 20minutes.
by the time people go through and look at it, its cocktail hour.

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

I might not. I don't think I need to since it's just a straight Greek Orthodox Ceremony. No readings by other people or anything.

If I do decide to do them, it would just be a run down of what goes on in the ceremony since half of the guests won't be Greek and won't know anything.

We shall see.

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

No, not doing them The ceremony will be super quick!!

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

I am doing them, but I am having a full mass at the church.

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

Not doing them. Thought for sure it was going to be something FH and FMIL insisted on, but they surprised me when I said I was planning on doing them and to factor them into the budget and tey were like... why? And I was like.. ok, never mind then!

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

I am not doing them

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

I'm not and the weddings I was at, I never even took one...

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

i don't think i am although they are nice, i just cant justify the extra cost and im not savvy enough to do them myself. I've attempted though lol...

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

I'm not. The ceremony is at the RH and its quick.

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

I'm not doing them.

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

we're not doing them... It's going to be a quick ceremony and I'd rather put that money elsewhere!

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

I was back & forth a bit on them but we are doing a few symbolic things in our ceremony that I want ppl to be aware of so now we are doing them.


edit to finish....

no you def dont need to do it. its just simply whether or not you & FH want them.

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

I keep going back and forth about it. If I do it, I feel like it'll be more for me as a memento than for my guests. But I'm leaning more and more to 'no' although we do have some cushion in our budget.

Re: is anyone not doing programs?

I am because my mom is singing and we are doing readings and I'd people to have some idea of what is going on.
