Cheap Wedding Programs
How To Make Your Own!

Cheap wedding programs are easy to put together if you have access to a computer and a printer. You don't have to have a wedding program, there is no right or wrong way to have your wedding programs! If money is tight and you are looking for ways to cut back without anyone noticing then this is a good place - don't have any programs!

However, wedding programs are great if you have a lot of guests and especially if your guests are not familiar with your customs. You can put the order of events, members of the bridal party and all your thank yous, you could even explain different aspects of your wedding. Think of it as a guide to your wedding.

When you know what you want to put in your program you need to decide whether you want to hand write or design them on a computer. Either design could be printed at a printers or you could print them yourself on your own printer - just make sure that the paper that you have chosen works in your printer!

What you are putting in your wedding program will also stipulate how big the program is, the smaller the program, the less it is going to cost. Some cheap wedding programs will just be a single card with the order of the ceremony on one side and your thank yous on the back. There are some great examples on Martha Stewart Weddings.

A single A4 sheet can be folded vertically and horizontally, use this as the basis of your design.

The front will have your names, dates and location as this will be a special keepsake for you and your guests.

Page 1 can have the order of the ceremony and the readings.

Page 2 and the back page could have your bridal party, your thank yous or details about your traditions.

Your wedding programs don't have to be traditional in their wording, there is no right or wrong way to do this. If you are having a fun and alternative wedding then your wedding programs can reflect that if you want them to.

The above is how to make simple cheap wedding programs, make them more you by adding some extra decorations; it could be a photo of the two of you, the design from your invitations, a hand drawn design , buttons, ribbons - really anything goes!
