Re: Programs

i made a comment about not even having them at all and my sister freaked out. lol. Guess I have to. I'm gonna have my church do it. I'll just write it up and probably get the fancy paper, but they'll pretty much get it all done for me.

I know I kind of think it is silly but everyone has them I don't know why though. I am not even going to have a mass.

Re: Programs

I am having them because we are having a Hindu wedding and many of the guests aren't Hindu (including my FH and his entire family) so we need to provide something that will allow them to follow the ceremony.

Re: Programs

I am probably going to make around 125 or soo. I am having a Greek Orthodox wedding so I want my family to understand what is going on (we are Roman Catholic) You figure it will be around one program per couple, plus not everyone will take one, and also not everyone that you invited will always come to the church.

I made 50. I'm having a Friday afternoon ceremony, so not everyone will be at the church.

I didn't make any and was glad that I didn't. I went to a wedding this past weekend where the bride took her time to make them, only to have the guests either 1. leave them behind before going into cocktail hour or 2. discarding them in the garbage or 3. using them as a coaster for their drinks....

I think that is what I am leaning towards especially since not everyone will go and I am not having a mass - my ceromony is only going to be like a half hour. The only thing I would have is to list the BP and i dont feel like that is necessary. you have to spend money for so much other little things I think I will just skip it.
