Let's Talk Wedding: Programs

At first, I was going to make my own programs. I wanted to save money...especially since they just get thrown away. However, once I started looking into doing it all myself...it was cheaper to have a company make them. Well, it might have been about $25.00 cheaper to do it myself, but my time was worth more to me than that $25.
This was something I found in a magazine and thought I would at least use the "ribbon" idea. I had Lindi at The Bridal Garden design the program. She found a "P" that looked a lot like our invitation and monogramed the cover. On the inside, we had the flow of the ceremony:

Seating of the Guests

Seating of the Families

Scripture Reading

Seating of the Mothers

Scripture Reading

Processional

Entrance of the Groom and Officiant

Entrance of the Attendants

Entrance of the Bride

Welcome

Giving of the Bride

Exchange of Vows

Exchange of Rings

The Charge and Prayer

Pronouncement

Presentation of Bride and Groom

Recessional My beautiful cousins who handed out programs for us. Love these girls so much and I'm so thankful that each of them were there! "God has truly given us a gift in each other and we are excited that He has brought us together for His glory and purpose. We pray that our marriage will be an encouragement and ministry to others. Thank you for joining our celebration and being a part of what God is doing. Each of you have touched or changed our lives in some ways, and we are so grateful you have chosen to celebrate with us today. ~Beth and Ken" I love Sarah!!! She and I are a year apart and she has always seemed like a sister to me! The back of the program had all of our attendants listed and how we know them. It also had our new address for everyone.
