Programs - ? about making your own

Ok, now that the invites are out I can get serious about my programs. I would like any suggestions or hints (type of paper, templates, where to buy/order the paper, level of difficulty, etc) about these programs

ETA the pics didn't post - will try again

I bought paper at pick quick. it's on 110 in farmingdale. They have a ton of paper to choose from and cheap too! I got 125 sheets of 80 lb cover weight paper for only about $15. The paper is a nice heavy weight. I'm going to make my programs look similar to these. I'm going to go to Kinkos to have them cut each sheet of paper into thirds (printed landscape). I just have to buy some ribbon. Check out this website for ideas. www.programsgalore.com

There are some nice programs on that website you posted. I don't want to spend that much money though when I can make them myself so cheap! I think the programs will be pretty easy to make. I made a sample and it came out pretty nice.

bride04 - do you mind sharing your sample program? any tips you learned along the way? I def. want to make my own, I'm just using these websites for ideas.

I am going to make very simple programs. I am going to buy nice paper and print the program on it myself. It will be one that simply folds in half. This is the website that I always post...it has examples and also tells you what to include.
