First, here’s exactly what to include on a wedding program.
What to Put on Ceremony Programs
As a rule of thumb, wedding programs should include the following items. These are the three most important things to put on your ceremony program.
• “The Wedding Of” and Your Names
• The Wedding Date
• The Order of Events
Write out the order of events for your ceremony like this:
♦ Prelude
♦ Procession
♦ First Reading
♦ Exchange of Vows
♦ Exchange of Rings
♦ Second Reading
♦ Pronouncement
♦ Recessional
