Do people have program passers anymore?

krisalicious, on March 12, 2012 at 6:01 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 16

A few people have asked us if we want to delegate someone to pass out programs and greet people as they walk into the church. Do we have to? We are making programs, and we have 7 male WP members who can double as ushers before the ceremony to seat people and maybe help pass them out.

Thoughts? Does anybody have delegated "program passers" anymore?

    My FH has a newphew that is going to pass out programs. We really didnt have anything else for him to do so that is going to work out, otherwise we would probably set them in a basket in the back of the church.

    I'm with Josie. We needed a 'job' for FH nieces and nephews so we sort of invented that job for them. They'll be passing out programs and/or rice (not sure what we've having yet).

    We're letting my step-sisters pass out programs and greet just because we wanted to make them feel included and there really wasn't anything else for them to do.

    I have several friends who will assist with that. The program we created is going to be very costly as it will provide photos and informatioin about planning the ceremony and the reception. Our plan is 1 for each couple/family. If e just leave them sitting out, inevitably people will take more than one and we will run out.

    I'm either just setting them on chairs at the ceremony or putting them in a basket next to the guest book so they can take one when they sign in at the table.

    We put ours in a basket on the "welcome" table w/ the guestbook. Our guestbook attendant helped people see where they were when she greeted them.

    I don't think it's necessary, unless you just want to or need to give a job to a younger family member. They'll think they're so cool. Smiley smile

    Ours are going to be handed out. A few of the elders from my church offered to "man the door" and as guests walk up they will open the door, welcome them, give each family a program, and point them to the sanctuary. They do the same thing on Sundays for church, and help guests find the right class if they come for Sunday school or have kids with them.

    Most of the weddings that I officiated at in the past 12 months have had a program. They often request a template to customize. When guests come to the wedding ceremony it's nice for them to know what's planned for the ceremony.

    For a church wedding, I think you can have your your grooms men act as ushers and hand out the programs.

    If you need a job for a niece of nephew, this is also the perfect job.
