Know your limitations. Leaving your program up to the ‘church secretary’ may not be your best bet. Many companies that you find on the internet will not only sell you the bulletin, but will do all your set-up and assembly as well. (The more they do; the more you pay.) If you are doing them yourself and having them professionally printed, always get a proof. But before you get that far, have someone else not familiar with your information proof read your copy. It’s always more difficult to see your own mistakes and omissions. Somehow our brain tells us that it’s there when it isn’t!

Wedding programs are a wonderful memento. The more professional they look, the greater chance that your guests will keep them for years to come as a lovely keepsake of your wedding day. Remember, first impressions are everything!
