We believe what appeals most to our customers about our ceremony programs is that no two programs are exactly alike. Each client receives a product that has been tailor made for their wedding day. Brides can customize their programs by choosing from the following options: Size and Style Ordering Your Program
Ceremony Program Basics Front Cover - It can have a monogram or a photo of the couple or church graphic. As a background for a vellum jacket, it can have a poem, or just be blank. We can also print the vellum designs directly onto the card stock cover. Title Page - This page communicates who, where, and when the wedding is taking place. It is the front cover for bifold style programs. In a book style it works best as page 3. Wedding Ceremony - This section communicates the order of service from Prelude to Recessional. Wedding Party - The wedding party consists of the officiant, parents, grandparents, attendants, participants in the ceremony such a readers or presenters, flower girls, ring bearers, ushers, and the musicians are included too. The House Party or special helpers are not part of the wedding party. Space permitting, they can be added. We strongly advise against listing your various wedding professionals, for example wedding coordinators. The only wedding professionals that should be listed are the musicians who actually perform at the ceremony. While I am sure they would love for you to advertise for them, your ceremony program is not the place to do it. Give them a glowing word-of-mouth recommendation for all of their hard work instead. Message From the Couple - optional This is the section where you get to say all your thank yous to God, to family, and to friends. In Loving Memory - optional Most of us have loved ones who have died that we dearly miss. This is an opportunity to acknowledge that you are thinking of them and you know that they are with you on your special day. Special Program Issues
We are not saying that you absolutely cannot have these things. We are saying don't get atttached to them if you are firm in the size and font you want for the program. It may not be possible to have everything you want in the program. We are very good at layouts but we cannot work miracles. Together we can find the balance.
