The RH will contact you when it's time to work that out---usually about a month or two before the wedding.

whats a wedding program

girl..im going to go over your house and update you lololo...It contains all the names of the BP, the ceremony, bride, groom, its like when you go see a play and they hand you a program with the break down of the play. So I plan on giving them out at the beginning of the ceremony.

if you're catholic, after pre-cana, when you get that book that outlines the mass / ceremony and the different options. If no pre-cana, I guess you should speak to your officiant and get an outline of the ceremony.

I'm almost done with our program, and found the experience to be as bad as send out the invitations.... yep, you heard me right. a HUGE task... likely becuase we're having a full Catholic mass....

We spent hours picking out the prayers and readings, asking people to do them, picking the fonts and making the template, picking out the stationary, writing up a rough draft, meeting with the priest so he can edit the draft...... and we're still not done The final task will be to meet with the music director and finalize the music (this sunday). ONLY THEN we can print and assemble!!!

start soon. I've been doing this on and off for about 3 weekends.... so start soon, so there's no time crunch.....

...thats exactly why I wanted to start soon because I know its very time consuming....but I guess I should talk to my pastor first...but I am not getting married at the church so maybe its a little easier for me

I have mine started already. When we completed pre-cana I did it based on that, we just have to chose our readings and readers. I won't start printing them until our priest reviews them in Sept. when we meet w/him.

start now..... pick out the font, do the template, and write out the bridal party / officiant page...

definitely speak to your pastor before writing up anything ceremony related.... it's also a good time to commit to the music you'll use.....

good luck!!!!
