write wedding ceremony programs
It's interesting:"I would like to say that I have a lot of admiration for Linda. She met Paul during his ‘colt’ years, and has dealt with most of his flaws. She’s a beautiful lady, and an even more gorgeous bride. I hope Paul realizes just how lucky he is. But I still don’t know how he got her to say yes because all she seems to say now is “No! Paul, no!”"
Wedding programs provide guests a creative way to follow along with your ceremony, and to understand your traditions and know the key players. They also act as a memorable keepsake for many guests, so you want to create a very special, elegant one. You can make a one page sheet or a booklet program several pages in length- the key is to be creative and practical. Remember -- guests do not want to read a book.

Instructions
1
Find a template that works with the theme of your wedding. Microsoft has several wedding program templates on their web site. If you want, you can change the placement of headings on your program to fit your ceremony.
2
On the front cover, list the full names of the bride and groom, along with the wedding date, as well as the location of the happy event.
3
List the order of events, starting with the musical selections for the prelude and the bridesmaids and your processional. Mention the readings and the vows that will take place during the ceremony and where they came from, and why they are important to you. List the exchanging of the rings and any other special rituals, such as the Unity Candle, and finish off with the title of the recessional song.
4
Explain the key players in the wedding, such as parents on both sides of the family, attendants and readers. Make sure everyone knows how important these people are to you.
5
Pay respect to those family and friends who have died by writing a special dedication in their honor.
6
Thank your guests for spending your special day with you- especially those who have helped you plan it in any way.
7
You might want to personalize your program by adding a special story about the two of you on the back of the program, along with a recent photo.
8
Print your programs on thicker card stock- 32 lb is a good choice. Depending on how many you have to print, it could be cheaper to print them all at home as opposed to sending them out to be copied. Fold and assemble them according to the template.
Tips &- Warnings
If you want to save money, aim for making one program per couple.
