The wedding program is to a wedding ceremony as a playbill is to a Broadway show. In a similar fashion, the program outlines the "scenes" of the "show" alongside a brief introduction to the "cast members." Your wedding program should, also, introduce your guests to special ethnic and/or religious customs and members of your wedding party. The following is an easy to use guide on the basics of making a wedding program. As a quick overview, we've listed below the essential pages contained within a wedding program. Simply click on the page name to view its details. Of course, you can add, delete, or move pages around to your heart's content. But, the pages listed below should make your wedding program complete. TITLE PAGE The front cover can be as simple as displaying the name of the bride and groom or more stylistic with the addition of a quote from a poem or song. WEDDING ENTOURAGE Use this page to introduce the parents of the bride and groom, the bridal party, honour attendants or sponsors and the ceremony officiant. EVENTS OF THE CEREMONY PAGES These pages comprise the "meat" of the wedding program. They outline the order of events throughout the ceremony, detail the songs to be sung, and explain ethnic and/or religious customs and traditions. DEDICATION PAGE Use this page to dedicate this day to a special loved one, living or deceased. THANK YOU PAGE On this page should be a special thank you message composed by the bride and groom to their family, friends and guests for witnessing this special day.
