wedding program question

How many programs are you ladies planning to have? I are you doing one per person or one per couple? I was looking into program fans and was thinking of having them handed out as guests arrive

Re: wedding program question

We're planning on doing one per guest, since all the weddings we've attended did so as well. I'm currently attempting to make one right now. If you're interested in DIYing, heres step by step instructions, along with some pics

Re: wedding program question

ours are kind of expensive so one per couple-ish. I have about 140 people and 75 programs. I figured not everyone takes one.

Thanks for sharing. I'm looking to do this as well. July is normally a scorcher. We only plan on making like 50, we're hoping for 100 guests. I'm not anticipating everyone showing up for the ceremony.

Re: wedding program question

We are doing program fans as well and I'm making one per couple plus a few extras. I figure since its a fan with a big bow on it, most men probably won't take one lol. But also we will just have them on a table as people arrive to the ceremony, not handing them out so I guess its whoever wants one gets one!

Re: wedding program question

I'm doing one per person. I always appreciate having my own program at weddings. However, I discard them within a few days so I can understand if you do less.

Re: wedding program question

I'm getting married on a Friday, so I figure not a TON of people are going to come to the church.

I did 70 programs. I'm thinking that's enough.

I ordered mine from Wedding Paper Divas when they were running a sale and I'm OBSESSED with them!

Re: wedding program question

We had a total of 207 at our wedding. We made 150 programs for the church and ran out! I forgot to take into consideration that a lot of my students were there.

We bought trifold DIY programs from AC Moore and I made them on the computer. I bought silver ribbon and small silver crosses and tied each one so that they didn't fan out. They came out beautiful!

I plan on posting a few pictures from the wedding at some point this week, if anyone needs a template, let me know!

We are expecting 100 guests and a few friends from my past and current jobs might be at the service so we will probably do 150 to be on the safe side as sometimes each person takes one and other times each couple does.
