We are not but that is because we are getting married on site and not having readers or anything. I think its more typical of a church wedding
We're getting married in a church and having programs. I ordered ours on Etsy and they were relatively inexpensive. I like the idea of having a keepsake, but that's just me.
Were having a church full catholic mass ceremony and doing programs. It's nice to have something to give guests something to show them who all the bridal party and readers are as well as the order of the events in the mass. I'm going to attempt to DIY them to save some $$.
I'm having a garden wedding and I plan on having them. I think it makes the ceremony extra special. fh sister is creating them but you can order them on Etsy or weddingpaperdivas.com
We did our own programs as I wanted our guests to know who was in our bridal party and wanted a keepsake especially since husbands nephew was our ring bearer. He was too cute! Trying to post more pics in album
I'm not doing programs, but if you want to do it, you can easily design them yourself and have them printed elsewhere for pretty cheap. Figure out what paper stock you want (many sites allow you to order free samples of their paper stock) and take it from there. You can even purchase some paint stir sticks and make it into a fan. I recommend catprint.com for paper stock samples and printing.
We are doing a full catholic mass and having programs for the mass. I am making them myself and printing them at home. Etsy has templates you can buy.
I've wondered the same question myself but as of now, I've decided against them. If there is extra money in the budget at the end, I may go with it. I'm having my ceremony at the venue so it's quick and brief. I just can't see spending that amount of money on something to just be thrown out. I do have a large bridal party so that was m&m only concern but I think introducing them during the reception is sufficient enough!
