Wedding Programs

Without a clear, succinct wedding program, most ceremonies will descend into chaos: the bridal party will abscond, the officiant could be late and the ring bearer is likely to disappear – with the rings in tow! In order to direct people from one room and activity to another, why not draw up a wedding program using Zazzle’s design tool; the structure and layout will already be established, thanks to our Independent Creators, so you simply need to replace the placeholder text. Learn more about the benefits in the breakdown below, and shop wedding programs on Zazzle today!

What to Include in a Wedding Program

Essentially, a wedding program is a piece of paper or card handed out at the start of the day that gives guests information about the events taking place. There’s no strict criteria for what you need to include, but most couples list the timeline of the wedding day, details about the ceremony, information about themselves and the wedding party and a thank you to guests for their attendance. Other, more off-beat suggestions could include the lyrics to any songs being played during the ceremony, the background to any cultural traditions being incorporated into the day’s events and any special requests you’d like everyone to consider (for example, if you’ve been "Planning an Unplugged Wedding," you could issue a reminder of what that entails).

In sum, a ceremony program can be as basic or as detailed as you wish. In this Creator’s rustic program, you can see that the template is not very comprehensive: it includes all of the typical information we mentioned above, but there aren’t any extraneous details. Meanwhile, this trifold program is far more exhaustive, and mentions the name of specific poems and prayers that will be read.

Top Designs for Wedding Programs

Wedding programs are, first and foremost, an excellent conversation starter: they’re a talking point that guests can use to get to know each other, whether they’re comparing their favorite hymns, salivating over a dinner or commenting on the look of the program and other wedding stationery. If you want to give your attendees a good reason to mingle – and ensure that they’re in the right place at the right time when they’re doing it! – then find yourself a template to work on from this selection of top-rated search pages:

Customize Your Own Wedding Programs

The hardest part of drawing up a wedding program is the layout and format – simple things like making sure everything fits onto the page or that each line is spaced out properly can be common stumbling blocks. While we’ve already listed the essential components of an exemplary wedding program, it’s worth remembering that, with any of the designs our Independent Creators have published, the template is already present. That means if you click on the thumbnail of the programs you’re interested in and click on ‘Personalize,’ you can supplant the stock text and photos they’ve put there with your own details and uploads. Once you’ve grasped the fundamentals of using our design tool, you can also try creating a one-of-a-kind product on our custom programs page. You can also visit our wedding signs, wedding menus and wedding placemats pages if you’d like to try customizing more wedding-related products!
