Whether you and your significant other have planned your upcoming ceremony down to the last detail or sought out the help of a wedding planner, you should always take pause when designing the wedding program for your ceremony. While they may seem like an afterthought, this is often your first greeting for family and friends and a charming memento they can hold onto for years to come.
Be sure to give your wedding program a touch of style and panache with these 3 suggestions.
1.Add festive illustrations
The design on the front cover of your wedding program can be as elaborate or simple as you’d like it to be, but it should always contain a few important pieces of information like you and your significant other’s names, as well as the date and venue, reported MyWedding.com. You can then add any number of personal details and illustrations to showcase you and your loved one’s personalities. Bridal Guide reported that silhouette or detailed illustrations of the bridal and groom party are fabulous choices that can say something about each individual, and it can give your programs some much-needed visual punch.
2.Experiment with themes and styles
If you’d like to buck convention with your wedding program, there’s a wealth of fun ideas out there that could pique your interest. For instance, if you and your betrothed are world travelers, consider giving your program a design that resembles a passport, or be experimental with the design of the program with a wheel design that is clasped on one end and can splay outward and close easily.
3.Double-duty programs
With the most important elements of your programs taken care of, another way you can make yours stand out is by adding small packages of confetti, flower petals or bubbles that your guests can shower you with after your “I Dos.” This is a fabulous twist that will give every guest a chance to participate and play a vital role in your special day.
