How to list songs on a wedding program

list songs on a wedding program


It's interesting:
"For those of you who are attending their first Jewish wedding, there may be some customs you're unfamiliar with. Like when Paul stepped on the glass at the end ..."

Wedding programs are meant to communicate the thought and planning you have put into your ceremony to your guests, to help them know what to expect during the ceremony, and to share important information with them (such as where the cake is after the ceremony). The music in your ceremony sets the mood for your wedding, and listing it in your program can help you to remember in the future what you played at your wedding, and help others identify the music played during your ceremony.

Instructions

    • 1

      Include the music on the left side of the program, on the back of the front page. This is the page that includes the ceremony order.

    • 2

      Place songs in italics or in quotation marks. Put the artist or performer of the song next to the song as well, especially on songs considered to be more important culturally, such as hymns and solos sung or performed during the ceremony. This is to acknowledge the contributions of performers and to give credit to artists, even if they are just played on a CD over the speakers or sung by the guests.

    • 3

      Print "Processional" and "Recessional" on the left side of the page at their appropriate places in the ceremony order. Type a line of periods after them, and include the title of the song on the right side of the page after the periods. List the artist and/or composer if you wish. Artists of processionals and recessionals are not always listed in programs.

    • 4

      Double-check your program for accuracy. Ask musicians performing at your wedding for feedback on the title of the pieces included, and spelling of composers' or performers' names.
