Need help with playbill

Has anyone made one before? If so how do I get the original playbill cover look? What type of paper should I print them on and more importantly can I bring them somewhere to be printed??? I'm so confused!!!

Hey,
Not sure if this will help or not. I actually made mine in Microsoft Publisher and just compared it to a real playbill to figure it out. The main page you can see. The back of that page was a thank you note to our guests for coming. The third page was our 'cast of characters' such as the names of those in our bridal party, our parents, his grandma, etc. and the back page was our 'On this day in history.' I looked up the wedding date and had all events in chronological order that happened throughout history. I had them printed at a printer and they weren't really that expensive. They were around $200 for 250 of them and i had one at each place setting. If you want to see the entire thing i can send it to you it's just on my other comp. If you have any specific questions please feel free to fm me. GL!

I looove that idea!!! Would that be in place of the progams at the church..? Or do you still use both..?

Re: Need help with playbill

I used both only because i had a bunch of people (other teachers and students) going to the church but not the rh so they had a keepsake and then some people only went to the reception so i wanted something for them too. My programs were different from the playbill.
