When it came to the programs, I wanted to keep it simple, but still keep it in line with the rest of our paper goodies. We decided on a vertical half-sheet for the layout and to open with a little blurb about our first wedding, written by Mr. Pineapple:
“On September 20, 2008, we were married in a ceremony with only our parents in attendance. The ceremony was planned to ensure that our families, the people who have loved and supported us for entire lives, could see us commit the rest of our lives to each other as husband and wife. We are thankful to them for everything, including sharing that special moment with us. We are honored to have our friends and families here to join us as we celebrate our new life together.”
The paragraph is followed by a simple listing of our parents, bridal party, musicians and officiant. We then backed the programs with the same copper card stock used on our invitations.
Done and done.
Did you decided to keep your programs simple?
Definately! I made mine into a keepsake booklet with a photo of us, the wedding party’s names, and the readings so that people can reflect on them later if they want. Im not big on outlining the entire ceremony, i’d hate to think people will use it when they are bored to see how much longer they have to sit there.
