Blank Wedding Programs

About Wedding Programs

Wedding programs are one of the most versatile and useful pieces of wedding stationery and play a very important part during the day. The purpose of a wedding program is to publish important information for all of the guests to read, ensuring that everyone knows what the plans are. The information published includes items such as the order of service, any special details about wedding readings, the titles of wedding ceremony music, songs, or hymns, plus any other information that the bride and groom would like to impart. Sharing this information means that the guests are fully aware of the plans for the day and that the bride and groom can concentrate on enjoying their special day without having to worry if people know what the plans are.

In addition to the standard pieces of information that go into a wedding program, some brides and grooms have very special or specific information that they would like to share. In these circumstances it is often more effective to buy blank wedding programs rather than programs that are already printed with a standard layout.

The Benefits of Blank Wedding Programs

The use of plain or blank programs has many benefits for brides and grooms who are organizing their special day. These benefits include:

Last Minute Arrangements

There are often occasions where last minute information needs to be included in a wedding program. Perhaps the details of a family member who is taking part in the wedding service cannot be confirmed until the very last minute or extreme weather might cause a change of plan. Blank wedding programs allow the bride and groom plenty of opportunity to print their programs right up until the last minute.

The Personal Touch

Blank programs are often suitable for handwriting information as well as printing information from a computer. Many people enjoy handwritten wedding programs as this gives a lovely personal feel. Special pens and inks give a wonderful italic effect and this can give a very classic feel to the program.

Budget Wedding Programs

Blank programs are also often cheaper than the printed alternative. These can therefore provide an excellent option for couples who are planning a wedding on a small budget. Many blank programs are available in different sizes and card weights meaning that there are different types of program to suit different budgets.

Print your own programs.

DIY Wedding Programs

Making special DIY wedding programs is also a good alternative to blank programs. This allows the bride and groom to create their own special and unique wedding program with plenty of flexibility. Simple wedding programs can be created from a sheet of paper or cardstock or more sophisticated programs are easy to make by inserting an inner sheet into a heavily decorated program cover. DIY wedding programs have plenty of space for inserting customized information.

Tips for Choosing Blank Programs

There are a few tips that will help you pick the perfect wedding program for your wedding:

Color

Pick coordinating or complementary color schemes. Not all of the wedding stationery needs to be exactly the same color. Adding subtle variations can give a dramatic effect and look wonderful, such as picking out the colors of the wedding bouquet or simply using different shades of a single color.

Weight of Card

Heavyweight cards might be more expensive to buy, but it will be longer lasting than light weight cards. This makes it a good option for wedding programs that will be in use for a long period of time on the day of the wedding. As many guests also like to keep the wedding program as a memento of the day, good quality card makes for a better keepsake.

Go Green!

Many card and paper companies offer an exciting range of cardstock and paper that is made from recycled paper or is embedded with seeds and can be planted. This offers a good alternative for people who are looking for a more environmentally friendly option.

Wedding programs are an important part of the day and the blank alternative provides a flexible and interesting choice for couples to consider.
