Day of Program

Julia has a great idea! A chalkboard would look great with your wedding

We didn't have programs - not least because it was one less thing I had to deal with lol

We decided against programs! I think everyone will be fine with it.

You could just do one big program on a pallet or chalkboard? Or do one per aisle or one per every few seats?

Do a wedding website and do it there, people need to know what time to arrive and what time the reception will begin, you can list those things on the invitation. Ceremony will begin prompty at x with reception to follow and then they know all that they need to know

We are having a relatively small ceremony/reception as well (60 people) and we only have the venue for a specific amount of time. It will end at either 7 or 8pm and not go on late like some receptions do... that being said - I opted to print wedding programs so that we can manage our guests expectations from the beginning. Which kind of sounds like what you want to do. We are buying a template from Etsy and then I'll just have them printed locally. With only having 30 guests, it shouldn't cost much to have small ones printed.

Love the idea of a chalkboard or pallet for your intimate wedding! Everyone will be able to view it and follow along with the order of events. Paper programs are nice but you're correct, they typically end up left at the seat and thrown out.

Yes, paper programs do seem like a waste. I second the chalkboard idea.
