So I haven’t been blogging as much recently because I have been very busy making the programs for the wedding. What seemed to be a simple task ended up being way too complex, all because I wanted a square program that was 6″x6″.
To achieve this, I purchased Paper-Source’s Luxe Cream 12×12 card stock for the covers and cut them in half to create 12×6 sections. For the center piece, I wanted to use paper that wasn’t as thick as card stock but unfortunately, I had a hell of a time trying to find 12×12 paper that wasn’t card stock and yet was still good quality. In the end, I purchased a whole bunch of extra-large drawing sheets and cut them all down to 12×6.
Then I created the program file in Word and printed them all out on our HP Photosmart c4100 printer. After printing them all, I had to score and fold them…then I stamped the hydrangea on the front and embossed our monogram on the back.
The only thing left to do is tie ribbon around the middles of these to hold them together. I think I will punch small holes in the center and tie the ribbon around that. It seems if I just make a ribbon loop for around the center it doesn’t stay in place. I also have small charms to put around the base of the ribbon, but I am starting to think that they will detract from the basic design of the program.
I still have the Word file. If any of you are interested, email me and I will forward you the file so you don’t have to recreate the wheel.
Was wondering how you embossed your monogram on the back..they look great:)
You’re having a cannon salute?! That’s so cool! Beautiful programs.
great programs. it is so helpful to see a full example. I haven’t been really sure what to put in the programs. very classy 
Hey Delinda,
The embosser came from Wilshire Graphics Press (you can google them).
They are based on the West Coast and I love, love love them.
They were the first official wedding vendor I dealt with and they were so curteous, professional, helpful and all-around-nice to work with.
Katie - I wish I had had an example, too…I was starting to get frustrated, but my sister helped by sending me the order of the service (she is our minister). The rest is just fluff.
Sarah - I too am crazy excited about the cannon. SInce we are at a fort, and i am being escorted in by Revolutionary War reenacters, it was only fitting
how did you feed the large size paper into your printer? i’m assuming you put the 6″ edge through first… inkjet, right?
I’d be crazy excited about the cannon salute too, if I were you!
I think it’d be fun to have bagpipers at my wedding, since I’m Scotch/Irish and my fiance’ is part Irish too

Miss Corn, I heart hydrangeas. I’ve been showing your DIY stationary projects to my FI and he is helping me scour local craft shops for a hydrangea stamp. (Love him so!)
If you could, please forward me your template as well. christigpa at gmail dot com.

hi aoedorothee…I inserted them into the printer with the short side (6″) in.
Everyone else…I had NO IDEA how many of you would actually want the template!!
