What does a typical

program for the church consist of? What kind of information do you put in it? What is the earliest/latest you can actually prepare these? Again, I'm CLUELESS!!

The order of the cermony, titles of music that accompanies everything, the names of the readers, bridal party, parents, clergy, etc. Sometime a note of thanks from the Bride and Groom.

If you are ordering them, try to do it 6 weeks to 2 months in advance, if you are doing them yourself, start whenever you can. I did mine 1 week before and was ripping the hair out of my head!

Mistyeyed: My programs were finished the morning of the wedding. I had my poor bridesmaid who did them for me pulling the hair out of her head. They came out beautiful! I owe her BIG TIME!

If you can talk to your officiant about all the little details that you want in the programs way in advance you can at least start typing them up. Have all the names of the bridal party, parents, songs, etc.


ADVICE: Try to get all of them done ahead of time.
It will cause you and your loved ones to be stress free and happy!

Thanks, guys! Uh oh, now I have to get on the ball and ask people! Then, I have to deal with the ones that (once again) will feel slighted...
