A Guide to Basic Wedding Ceremony Programs

The guests are informed about the wedding ceremony programs and order through the wedding ceremony programs. The basic program will have three distinct parts: the introduction, the ceremony details and the names of the wedding party members. You can design your programs to match your wedding theme and color scheme. Your programs are valued keepsakes that will remind you and your guests of your wedding day for years to come. Let's take a look at each of the three aspects of a good program from start to finish.

The names of the bride and groom, the date and the location of the wedding are included in the introduction. The order of the information should be as follows: descriptive phrase, name of bride, name of groom, wedding date and wedding location. For example, the introduction could go something like: Welcome to the Wedding Ceremony of Jane Doe and John Smith, June 1 2007, 123 Sample Street, Anywhere USA. You can of course customize this information and your descriptive phrase to suit your needs and preferences. There are a variety of ways you can customize your program, including with descriptive words, fonts, colors and images.

The order of the service follows. This includes the music that will be played and what will happen in order. An example would include the Prelude, Bridesmaids Processional, Bridal March, Officiant Welcome and Prayer, Reading, Marriage Vows, Lighting of the Unity Candle (if you're having a Unity Candle), Wedding Prayer, Blessing of the Marriage and the Recessional. Of course your order of service will be customized to the actual events happening at your wedding ceremony. The order of service will be different for every wedding. For example, many couples are choosing a sand ceremony to replace the unity candle. Some couples go for a non-religious wedding which of course would not include prayers but may include other types of readings.

The list of participants in the last part of the wedding ceremony program. You should always use the designations Mr./Ms./Miss/Mrs. and the participants full legal names rather than nicknames. They should be grouped by category such as Parents, Grandparents, Maid of Honor, Bridesmaids, Best Man, Groomsmen, Flower Girl, Ring Bearer, Ushers and of course the Officiant. The good thing about creating a wedding program is that you can use the basic format but customize it to suit your preferences and style.
