Diy wedding program with ribbon

Diy wedding program with ribbon


It's interesting:
"It seems that just a couple of days before the wedding, he chose a tall, striking blonde behind his fiances back. He voted for Boris Johnson on Thursday…"

Wedding programs, similar to theatre programs, provide your guests with a list of your wedding day's cast and a list of the events taking place. A wedding program is especially helpful if you have a large guest list or many invitees from out of town, as it allows them to feel more involved in the ceremony. Traditional wedding programs are made of single-sided cards and designed to match the rest of your wedding stationery. Include a ribbon at the top for a classic style.

Things You'll Need

  • Wedding program card stock
  • Printer
  • Hole punch
  • Scissors
  • Coordinating ribbon

Instructions

    • 1

      Determine the wording needed for your programs. Begin with the wedding's hosts or, if you are hosting your own wedding, simply state, "Welcome to the wedding ceremony of..." You may include as much information about the ceremony as you wish, including the vows, readings and songs selected, but the basic template is as follows: greeting from hosts- names of the bride and groom- order of ceremony- bridesmaids' names and titles- groomsmen's names and titles- flower girl's name- ring bearer's name- reception information.

      Format your text document so that its measurements are the same as your wedding program card stock. Place your blank card stock into the printer's paper feeder and move the alignment guide over to fit snugly against your program. Print your first program and, if you are happy with its appearance, print the remaining stationery. Allow the stationery to dry before setting the pieces on top of one other, because slick card stock does not absorb ink as quickly as letterhead.

      Punch two holes at the top of the card stock, keeping them aligned over the center of the program. They should lie about half an inch down from the top edge and half an inch apart from one another so as to avoid any tearing through the paper.

    • 4

      String a five-inch piece of ribbon through the two holes from the backside, so that both ends stick out the front. Knot the ribbon twice, making sure the paper stays flat. Trim the ribbon's edges at diagonal angles to prevent unraveling. Repeat with your remaining programs.
