After hours on the road or in the air, by the time your wedding guests arrive to your venue, one of the first things that will greet them is your wedding program! This is your first chance to show off your creative flair and showcase what’s to come during your celebration, so don’t’ let this opportunity fall by the wayside! Instead of the usual series of events, attendees and other basic information, why not give your wedding program a unique twist? Here are a few ideas that can get those creative juices flowing.
- Add Tissues/Handkerchief
Weddings are an emotional time, so why not give your guests something to take care of those happy tears by creating an insert on the front of your program for tissues or a handkerchief? This is a cute and wonderful way to help out your more emotional guests and keep that mascara from running!
- Confetti Pockets
Building on the idea of a customized pocket, you can give your guests everything they will need to shower you and your significant other with affection by adding a small pocket with confetti. When the ceremony comes to a close, your guests will have a colorful exit waiting for you!
- Dual-Purpose Design
Holding a summer wedding? Try attaching a small handle so your guests can fan themselves during your nuptials. Want to create great photo opportunities? Add a message like “Congratulations” or “Hooray” on the opposite side of your programs so guests can hold them up during the ceremony. Making these programs interactive is just one extra wrinkle that can make your special day all the more memorable.
Of course, being adventurous with your typefaces, folding methods and color schemesz are extremely important, but you should strive to make your wedding programs as unique and engaging as possible. Make sure that these aren’t items that will find their way into the trash soon after your ceremony and can become keepsakes of their own.
