Want to honor my mom & sis - need suggestions!!

My mother and sister have always been very special to me (sis is my MOH). While driving today, I heard Celine Dion's Because You Loved Me, and I realized how appropriate it is for them. I don't want to send out a mushy dedication at the wedding, because my family isn't into stuff like that - but I'd like to get the message across to my guests of how important they are to me. So here's what I was thinking: I'll do the regular program for the church ceremony (readings, songs, etc.), and then I'll do a separate program for the reception. I figured I'd include a Who's Who of the wedding party, and I could also explain the meaning behind the obligatory first dances (me and FH, me and Dad, FH and his mom), and have a section for 'special dedications' including the song for my mom and sister.

What do you think? What have you seen done? I'm not one for a lot of drama in public, so I was thinking that this was a simple way to avoid it, while still making a statement.

TIA for your honesty!

i like the idea of a reception program - include the menu and everything else that is usually on the table or announced.
