Ceremony Program

I need to make programs for the wedding on my own and I need a free site trying to keep the cost of the wedding down.

 One of our daughters and her husband did their program in Microsoft Word and then printed it themselves on their printer. They ordered blank wedding program paper with a pretty cover from the same place they ordered invitations (from a catalog). Probably stationery stores, office supply stores, or Christian book stores will also have blank programs or decorated stationery. Their program paper was 8 1/2 x 11 folded in half. Another program I've seen is again typing the program in your word processor & then printing it on colored paper (ivory in this case). Then punch two holes in the top of the page and tie a matching ribbon through them. This can be rolled and tied with a ribbon and put in a basket or handed to guests as they arrive. Or, it could be folded with the ribbon on top. You could also add some pretty clip art to the program to add a little graphics . If your wedding is in a church, often times they will also print your programs for you very inexpensively - they print bulletins weekly, so they have the in-house capability. And, they may have some appropriate front covers that you can choose for weddings. (If you do your own printing, make sure you use a new printer ink cartridge.)

In EZ Wedding Planner, go to Plan/Great Ideas/Ceremony Programs for lots of ideas on wording and what's included in a wedding program.
