Ready
to "get with the program?"
Creating
DIY wedding programs that coordinate perfectly with your wedding colors and
theme is so easy! Jean M offers everything you need to either add a few DIY
touches to the programs we print for you, or to create your programs totally
from scratch.
Here
are a few ideas to help you get started…
Even
if you DIY a little with your wedding programs, you'll still be creating a
unique look all your own. You can have us print your programs (like these cute
and handy fan programs to keep guests cool during outdoor and summer events) and then you can go to
town adding your special touches! For this look, we gathered some natural twigs
and tied them around the handle of the program with natural jute cord. You
could also add seashells for a beach event, a tiny blossom for a summertime
wedding, tinsel or a snowflake ornament for a winter wedding, or a leaf for an
autumn event. And don't forget the ribbon!
Even just colorful ribbon
tied around the handles will make a big impact.
If
you're the kind of bride who wants to totally DIY her programs, you've come to the
right place! Jean M offers blank jumbo folders (5 1/8" x 7 1/4" folded) and tea folders
(4" x 9 1/4" folded) in a beautiful array of paper colors to
coordinate with your wedding theme and with your other Jean M wedding
stationery. The folders are laser printed compatible and just waiting for you
to dress them up with your ceremony information! Use stamps, scrapbooking
paper, embellishments,
hand lettering, photos — you name it! For darker colored papers, we recommend
printing your wording on a lighter-colored insert and tying the two pieces
together with ribbon.
Be
sure to display your programs prominently in a basket or on a stand at the
entrance of your ceremony, or set a program on each chair to make sure each
guest receives this important guide to your celebration – your ceremony details and a tribute to your bridal party with a special thanks to those that made your special day possible, and even remember those lost. You could even enlist
a couple of young adults to be your program distributors to guests when they
arrive – they'll feel very important in their jobs and you'll be assured guests
will be welcomed warmly!
Enjoy
— and get creative!
