For our respective weddings, Jo and I both made our own wedding programs. Hers were a tri-fold wedding programs and mine were more of a booklet style, tied up with ribbon. In case you want to make your own DIY wedding program booklets, I thought you might like to see how I put mine together, and I've even got a free template to share to get your started.

Thank you so much for the template. I've looked all over the internet and yours was the best and easiest to work with. I LOVE IT. I'm making my own wedding programs and am thinking about making my own invitations too. My wedding is more than a year away but I'm already getting all the supplies ready. Thank you again.
Thanks, Karen! I'm glad you like the template and we'd love to see your programs when you're done. As for starting a year early -- I don't blame you one bit! I started really early for my wedding, too. It was the only way to get as much handcrafted stuff done as I could, which saved money and made the wedding that much more personal. Have fun!
Hello, This may sound silly but I want to use the tri-fold program template, but I am not able to unsert my own names and things, is that how it is suppose to work? Or am I doing something wrong? Can someone help me please I would like to use the template.
Chica!!! Thank you so much for posting this template...exactly what we wanted! I am defintely a DIY bride so this is great! We saw these programs in the store but they were too expensive and over our budget! I am blessed to have my brother printing them out for us, so now we just have to do the assemebling...thanks again...hope to send you a pic of the finish product!
Hello, this is an absolutely amazing idea. I had been looking and looking for ideas to do for my programs and I didn't like anything until I saw this.With my wedding only months away and me running around because of everything else I didn't think I'd ever find anything, that was in my budget and looks very good, but this is simple, affordable, and something I can do, so thank you for posting this and helping me.
Thank you so, so much for this template! I am in the process of finishing up my programs for our upcoming wedding and they look fantastic! Your generosity is much appreciated! Thanks again for sharing!
I love this template, I will be using it for my wedding :) For those looking for a nice curly font to use for the monogram letter on the front... "Janda swirlygirl" is a nice free one which can be found on dafont.com
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.... You have no idea how much my stress level just decreased. I have made numerous trial and error attempts. I finally came up with one that i liked and went to buy the paper and started to feel ill over the amount of money for a DIY project...I would have saved money if I had them professionally done. I say this because my version would have required me to print one page PER section (a page for the cover, a page for the wedding party, a page for the wedding ceremony, etc) that would have been 280 pages total (4 pages for each of my 70 guest) to have a booklet style wedding program for all of my guest. Basically I couldn't figure out how to get more than one segment on a page to cut my cost, time, and energy down. I woke up at almost 4 am this morning and came across your site. After a short time later and feeling unsure because it just seemed to easy, I did my first "test" print...I actually started to cry. It was perfect! My wedding is next week so I have half a million things left to do and creating my programs was the most stressful and becoming too costly. I can now print all 5 sections (I was able to add a new page now) on ONLY 2 PIECES PAPERS. Thank you a million times over, you really have know idea what a blessing this was to find.
Just finished all the programs and they look beautiful! One tip I'd like to pass on: It was difficult trying to keep all the pages and card stock backing of the program together -- and all the edges straight -- while trying to use the ribbon punch (I had to apply so much pressure that the pages kept slipping out of alignment). So I got everything perfectly in alignment and then placed a simple binder clip on each side to hold everything firmly in alignment. You could go ahead and use the hole punch then, but I went an additional step: while the binder clips were holding everything in place I applied a very thin strip of hot glue (with a glue gun) jut under the top edge of each page, creating a permanent 'binding'. Sounds like overkill, but the now the pages stay in perfect alignment and absolutely will not shift from left to right as it tended to do when only the ribbon was holding it in place. The gluing was actually the fastest part of the process! Thanks again for your fabulous idea and template!!
I thought I was going to pay to have programs done and my fiance was down with that plan. I stumbled across your website and I am so excited to try this out. Our wedding is over a year away but this gives me time to experiment and make it our very own. Thank you, thank you, thank. Now it is off to find the perfect paper and ribbon.
Wedding is 13 days away and this was our final thing to get ready and agonize over for my daughter's wedding. This template is making it so much easier that we actually decided to go the diy route! Wish us luck in putting it all together - the tips in the comments are helping also.
When I got married, oh so many years ago now, my husband and I decided to make our own wedding programs to save a little cash. I ordered some nice paper to coordinate with my wedding colors and then started looking at other programs I had saved from friends' weddings, looking for design inspiration. We ended up designing a tri-fold program layout, with printing on both sides of the paper. This was easy an inexpensive solution to our wedding program needs, and it worked perfectly for us.
I just wanted to let you know how very much I appreciate this template...I've started working with several different ones, none that would allow me to put my whole program on it... yours was designed to and made life easier :-)
Need a template for a double wedding...like where we can put one couple on each side on inside and the information for where and such in the middle. My bf and I are planning to have a double wedding with his sister and her bf and I want something where we can both feel as if it is special for each of us. I have no family and her boyfriend only has his parents...no siblings so we are going to have a very intimate ceremony. We are planning to rent like 3 cabins and have a huge party in conjunction with our nuptials.
What a fun idea to have a double wedding, MiChelle! Take a look at our wedding program booklet tutorial. I think you could easily adapt that for your needs. Instead of having a piece of cardstock for the back, make a wider piece that folds down the middle, so that it opens up like a folder and each side has the information for one of the couples!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!! This is just what I needed for my mom's wedding on New Year's Day. I've done two types of programs and still didn't have enough space for everything and everyone. You are lifesavers and I truly appreciate this template. God Bless!!!!
To create your DIY wedding ceremony programs, you need to first choose the type of wedding program template you need. You can choose by type and design, to be in tandem with your wedding theme. You also must ensure that you have all of the important information to be included in your wedding program. Some of these include:
Love quotes in a wedding program do the job of tying all the words up in a bow and delivering the wedding programs as keepsakes to your guests. These words remind your guests about the essence of their presence and the delicacy of your love. Below are a few sample wedding quotes for programs to make your wedding program checklist complete.
