Try A DIY Wedding
14 May 2010
Many couples are beginning to use a wedding program as a way for their guests to be able to follow along with the ceremony, as well as a way of explaining the different traditions that are being followed in their wedding. If you decide to create DIY wedding programs, then you are not only creating a more personalized program but you are also giving your guests something that they can take home as a memento of your nuptials.
There are several different ways to create do it yourself wedding programs but be sure to include the basics, which naturally include the full names of both the bride and the groom, the date of your wedding day as well as the city, state and location of the wedding. The program should also include the order of events and what music you have selected; if the lyrics have a special meaning for the couple, then the reason should be included as well. Some people also choose to include the composer’s information as well as who is performing the songs or instrumentals. If you are going to include any kind of readings you will want to explain what the readings will be about and who will be orating.
When deciding other things to include in the DIY wedding program you may want to explain any particular rituals or ethic customs to be included in both secular and religious ceremonies. If it is applicable you may want to include a short thank you note to both sets of parents and perhaps even a general thank you to all of the guests. You should also include the names of those in the wedding party and a brief biography about them, as well as their relationship to the couple.
Another way of personalizing your programs is to also include one for the wedding reception; you can choose to combine the two or you can make a separate one that will be given at the start of the reception. The reason for this is to give your guests an idea of the order and time of certain important events, such as the cutting of the wedding cake, the toasts or the first dance of the married couple.
You can make your DIY wedding programs in many different shapes and sizes and you can also present them in different ways. If your wedding is going to be outside, then try placing a program on each chair and then holding it down with something unusual like a piece of sea glass. Or, you can have the ushers hand them out as guests arrive. You can also choose to place them in brightly colored baskets, unusual glass containers or anything that goes along with the wedding decorations and have them available when people arrive.
