Does anyone know where I can get these cheap or know of a program so I can do it my self? We saw them at a wedding we just went to and loved the idea. Thanks

You can do really great program just using MS Word. Here are mine:

Re: Wedding programs

I made mine in Word using free clip art I got in the application (it's for a Catholic ceremony w/o full mass). It's almost finished -- if you want, I'll email you a copy - just send me an email at [email protected].

Sonicstef - I love your programs! They look beautiful. Can I ask how much they cost to make? I'm not sure what kind of specialty paper you used, but how much does it cost around? I'm trying to figure if I can make the programs since we are on a tight budget. Thanks in advance!

Re: Sonicstef

I used vellum for the cover (with our names), matte photo paper for the inside cover (photos) and regular copy paper for the inside.

Vellum is $20 for 100 sheets. Matte Photo Paper was $15 or $20 for 100 sheets. Copy paper is free.

Ribbon for the binding (I had to have red instead of the white shown) was about $8 for a 100 yards which is probably 3x as much as I need.

Re: wedding programs

We made our programs using Word. I created my own template.

Its hard to see in the pictures but the paper is handmade silk on top of a platinum metalic velum. The inside is a glossy white.

They looked beautiful but the pictures don't show it well. The paper and font matched our invitations (which we also made).

I got all the paper at marcospaper.com and the ribbon at cheapribbons.com. It was pretty inexpensive.

We had a poem as the first page:
In each other’s hands,
We found trust and comfort
In each other’s arms
We found happiness and joy
In each other’s hearts
We found a love that will last forever.

Re: wedding programs

love the hands ceremony - we were going to include it as well but then we did it on our Engaged Encounter weekend and it'd be weird to do the ceremony twice. Its a beautiful moment.

Re: Wedding programs

wow..I have to say I am impressed ladies....good job! Quick question for sonicstef..what is the hands ceremony?

julykbride Posted: Jul 10, 2002 03:09 PM

How many programs do I need?

Do I need one per couple or one per person?

Re: Wedding programs

beautiful poem lisat...I got chocked up!

Re: Wedding programs

we did one per couple. Keep in mind some people don't come to the church and others that aren't invited to the reception show up.

We made 135 programs for 220 guests and had extras
