All about wedding programs
What are some examples of great content to include in a wedding program?
Some couples choose to explain parts of their ceremony in their wedding program. They may elaborate on the meaning behind a chuppah, for example, or jumping the broom. They will also often name who is in the wedding party and list the agenda for the ceremony.
Why are wedding programs important to our ceremony?
Your wedding program provides important context for guests and helps them understand what’s happening. If you are incorporating any special traditions in your ceremony, the program can be a great place to explain the meaning behind the tradition for guests who may not be familiar. They can also add decorative flair to your ceremony! Choose a design that feels true to you as a couple and fits the vibe of your wedding.
How many programs are needed for the ceremony?
Order at least as many programs as you have guests attending, plus some extra. You don’t want to be caught empty handed if a guest loses their program and needs another! You may also want to keep one as a keepsake or to include in photos.
