Green Wedding Program Wedding Programs that Make a Statement

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. You want to make sure that every detail is absolutely perfect. Your wedding program is one of those tiny details that can lend a special touch to your event. Although the main function of the program is to explain certain aspects of the ceremony, it also sets the tone for your wedding. Your guests receive it upon arrival and peruse its contents while waiting for the ceremony to begin. With a few personal touches and creative ideas, your guests will treasure these memorable mementos.

What Is Included in Your Wedding Program

You can decide how much or how little you want to include in your program. It is important for the program to introduce the wedding party, list the readings and readers, name the officiant and thank the parents. Of course, remember to put the date and the location of your wedding, too! Another helpful tip would be to include the various rituals that will occur, perhaps with a small explanation, so that all your guests can easily follow the course of the service. If you want to mention loved ones that have passed on, you can include a memorial page that pays tribute to them.

Open Wedding Program Personalize Your Program

If you want a simple program, you can stop now. Just remember to include your bridal colors or some playful accents. For those who want to include a little more of their personality in their booklets, include pictures of the happy couple or everyone in the wedding party or stories of the engagement. Perhaps you have a poem that will be recited during the service that you would like to include in the program. If you don't want to add information, you can be creative in the format itself. Roll the program up and tie it with raffia or ribbon like a scroll or design it like the latest 'Playbill'. Whatever you decide, just have fun and remember that this is something you will treasure for a lifetime.

Presentation

How you present your program to your guests is another detail that is up to your discretion. If you want to keep things simple, you can have baskets or trays of programs available at the entranceway to the chapel or have one placed on each chair. For a more personal touch, have a family member or friend greet each guest as they arrive and hand them a program. Your ushers will be seating your guests and can provide them with a program as well. However you decide to disperse the programs, you should make sure there are enough for everyone and that they are readily accessible.

Continue the Theme into the Wedding Reception

The program is an essential element to your wedding ceremony. This souvenir will be cherished by you and your guests for years to come. It is also an important component of your wedding and reception motif. A great way to connect the reception with the wedding ceremony is to include certain features from the program into the reception. Whether it is as simple as the same font being used for place cards or menus or as elaborate as having a picture or poem from the program presented to each guest, this subtle touch will create a sense of continuity between the events that your guests will appreciate. You can present the picture or poem in beautiful glass coasters or picture frames available at www.favorfavor.com.

Your wedding is a truly special and unique moment in your life. Make sure that every detail is something you will appreciate now and years down the road. From subtle things like color and paper texture to personal stories and pictures, the simple touches that make your program unique will be the things your guests will remember long into the future.
