What Is a Wedding Program?

A wedding program is a piece of paper or a document outlining the step by step flow of the program. A guide or a road map for the people who have been invited to an event, to know or at least to expect the outcome of the event. The wedding program consists of the information necessary for the guests to know and to at least be aware of the flow of the program. In a way that it also helps them know what goes first and what to expect when it ends.

Elements of a Wedding Program

Did you know that just like a book or a poem, a program has its own elements? Just what are these elements for a wedding program and what importance do they even have to begin with? Depending on how you do your own wedding program, each element, especially the ones below, are almost always present. If you’re planning on making your own wedding program or just about any kind of program, you should at least check these five elements below.

1. Nuptial Program Cover

The first thing you would notice in a wedding program is the cover or the seal that goes with it. Just as books have wonderful and sometimes colorful covers to attract their readers, so does a nuptial program cover. The purpose for this is to show the theme of your wedding and the style. For your program cover, you may either choose to have it in a traditional way or customize it to make it as unique as the wedding theme you choose. For some brides, they often opt to decorate their own program cover to stand out from the crowd. You may or may not write anything on the cover.

2. The Sequence of the Event

Either in the inside of the nuptial program cover or you prefer to place it in a separate piece of wedding designed paper, the sequence of the wedding event is then placed. What would be in store for this is the outlined information of how the program would go from the start to the end. Depending on how you plan your wedding program, it should at least have even the most general of the information if you plan on making it into one piece to save space. However, if you plan on making it into something more complex and custom made, you may opt out of the bi-fold style. As this would not be the right fit for your sequences of the event, as the bi-fold style is used if you plan to make it simple. Lastly, a lot of people may want to add a saying or a copied saying to commemorate their wedding. You may or may not add this to the sequence of the event.

3. The Nuptial Mechanics

This may sound a little weird to put nuptials and mechanics in a sentence, but what it really means is the details. The specific if possible details of who is who in your wedding. This is important as your guests do not really know every single person in the wedding. They are not able to know who is who and the roles they play. So this is where the mechanics come to play. You need not have to add every single detail if your wedding is too long or too short, and the people attending have a limited number. But if you feel the need to do so, you still may.

4. Voluntary Preferences

If you planned on adding any other things that represent your wedding to your program, you may do as such. This information can range from photos of you and the groom as either kids, university or the best moments both of you shared. It can also be about what your theme is or how you envisioned your wedding program to be. As mentioned above, it’s voluntary. You are not obliged to do such thing if you think that it may be too expensive or inconvenient. But even a touch of something personal can make the whole program different in a good way.

5. Wedding Program Design

The best part of having a Wedding Program is to design it. How you want your Wedding Program to look from the colors, themes, aesthetic, fonts, and even how you may want to be specific or general with it. The beauty of customizing your own program design is that you’re the boss. Design it in the way that is true to you, your spouse and your wedding, or design it the way a traditional wedding program should look like, but with a twist. Either way, all that matters is that you decide and you made it.

How to Write a Wedding Program?

Now that we know what a wedding program is and the elements of a wedding program. The next thing you need to know would be how to even begin writing a wedding program. Have you ever wondered about it? Where does one even begin writing a wedding program? For more ideas, you should check out the following tips below.

1.  Start with the Basics

When you want to write your own wedding program, the best thing to always do is to start with the basics. This means, who are you inviting, when is the wedding, where is it held and what is the theme? These are all considered basics since your wedding program has to have these information all set up.

2. Write It Down

Once you are done with outlining the basics which is quite necessary before moving to step two, it’s time for you to rearrange everything. Everything includes every single detail. All the information that is necessary should be placed. Checking and double checking should also be necessary in case you may have missed something. Writing every little information down is not only helpful for you, but if you ever need anything changed especially if someone else is making the program, this can be helpful for them.

3. Arrange According to Your Style

For custom made wedding programs, you may arrange your outline according to how you picture it. However, for those that follow the traditional style, they may already have a template for you to follow on. Which can be a good thing especially if you have a lot of wedding programs to make. As this is crucial for your guests to know the flow of the event.

4. Make Information Specific as Possible

For the information on your wedding program, if it is too long to make and you plan on making it short, make the information at least as clear and specific as you can. As your guests would often look on the program for information. You do not want them to get confused on how the event would run, and you would prefer it to be smooth sailing than something chaotic.

5. Proofread Your Wedding Program

You may think why should you proofread your wedding program. The reason to proofread your wedding program is to see if you have not missed any single detail necessary. That you have not forgotten any single person and the role they may play. In addition to that, you have gotten every detail of your program the way you want it to be. It can get so stressful to have to write your own wedding program or even let someone else do it for you, but the most important thing is to make sure everything you envisioned happened and at the right time with the right information.
