Redid my DIY programs, what do you think? (w/ pics)

Hey Girls-
I redid our programs, wasn't crazy about font and layout of the first try. This is just a mock up, havent printed all of them out yet. Feel free to give any suggestions or point out any mistakes/typos. Also, what ribbon do you like better...polka dot or plain blue? TIA!

They look gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!! You did an amazing job!!!!!!!

BTW, I see you are doing the family medallion ceremony, We are doing a family unity ceremony and I was thinking of doing the family medallion ceremony. Can you tell me why you and FH chose it? I think I would get DD a charm bracelet, we are giving her earrings that match the necklace we gave her when he proposed. TIA

Oh and I like the organza ribbon

thx ryan!
we chose the family medallion bc we really liked the symbolism and the wording of the ceremony. we also liked that fh's son will have a keepsake from the ceremony, something to represent us as a family.

Jess, they look awesome! I'd definitely go with the polka dot ribbon - it gives it a little more 'pop'

They look great. I like the font mix and the bi-color ribbon is a nice touch.

A couple of minor formatting things:

1) When describing titles in relation to you, I think you should follow conventional capitalization. For example, 'Best Friend of the Groom' instead of 'Best friend of the Groom' and 'Brother-in-Law' instead of 'Brother-in-law.'

2) 'Family Medallion' should be lower case in the paragraph text.

3) Try making the paragraph text full block alignment (margins on all lines on both left and right are the same), not centered. It's easier to read that way.

4) In the Colossians text, add a hard return space between the two paragraphs to increase ease of reading.

Again, great job!
