Wedding Programs
Whether you choose to create a program that’s bound with a wax seal or a single sheet of paper that lays flat on each guest’s chair, there are four basic ways to make your wedding day programs. You set up an arts-and-crafts station in your home complete with colorful papers, ribbon, and decorations. You can create them using template designs from a computer program, like those from Hewlett-Packard that allow you to create intricate programs with images and stylized art. With the right program you can create almost anything you imagine.
Many brides choose to make their own wedding programs for the sake of creativity. It may have nothing to do with cost! If you choose to make your own wedding programs, don’t be intimidated in the least. You can make your own programs on your home computer, have fun while doing it, and save a good deal of money at the same time. Blank wedding programs are usually either bi-fold or tri-fold. This means that it is either folded in half like pages in a magazine or into thirds, like a document laid on it’s side. Bi-fold programs are usually 24 LB bond paper which is a little heavier and thicker than copier paper.
Choose programs that can be unfolded, folded or scrolled with single or multiple sheets. Generally, the heavier cardstock paper is ideal for unfolded and folded single-sheet programs or as covers for multiple-sheet programs. Vellum paper works nicely in single sheet scrolls or as inner sheets sandwiched by cardstock paper. Ribbon, tassels, fancy scissors and other decorative detail can add a special touch to the programs. There is no “right” way to design a wedding program, so be creative.
