I recently helped a friend do her wedding program and thought I'd share the sample in case there are any brides out there who want to make their own wedding programs.
There are a lot of cute ways to make your wedding programs unique. First, use the program as a way to entertain your guest while they're waiting for the wedding to start. Include a story about how you and the groom met. Include special details about the people in your wedding, giving little tidbits about that person specifically. Put the program on recycled paper or make it into a fan to keep guests cool.
Here is my wedding sample....
