Wedding Program Design Tips
Since your wedding program design is a visual way for you to communicate to guests about your ceremony, be sure to choose a design that suits you and your fiancé and symbolizes your special day. Here are some different (and inexpensive) ways you can create a customized wedding program that is truly your own. While these ideas are simple, they can make a huge impact in the end result – and impact – of your programs.
- Experiment With Typography: Mix and match 2-3 font styles in your wedding program. The most important things to keep in mind when choosing fonts for your wedding program are that they match your theme, pair well with each other and are easy to read.
With so many font options to choose from, it may take a while for you to find the perfect ones. But it will be time well spent because font type provides a powerful visual connection and can create a dynamic, modern look.
- Share a Story: Give guests a sentimental or funny story to read while waiting for your ceremony to begin by including a story in your program. Whether you choose to tell a sweet “how we met” story or the funny tale of your first date, it will delight your guests and give your unique wedding programs a personal touch.
- Use a Photo of the Two of You: Create a rustic wedding program with a photo of you and your fiancé on the cover. Whether you use a throwback photo or an engagement pic, your guests will be pleasantly surprised to see a picture of the two of you on your program. It may even cause some of your loved ones to cry before the ceremony even begins!
- Choose a Playful Pattern: Let your wedding style inspire your programs. Incorporate some of the décor motifs or color schemes that will be seen throughout the rest of the day.
