How to indicate my Maid of Honor has passed away on cceremony programs...

If you already have the program laid out I would just add "In memory of" in front/above her name.

I'm sorry for you loss. I hope this is helpful. If I can think of anything else I will come back and add to it

First, I'm very sorry for your loss. Maybe behind her name you can put (in spirit)?

I'm so sorry for your loss. I second Tara's idea.

I really like @Tara's suggestion. Also, not sure exactly what your programs look like, but can you make her silhouette gray instead of black? That might make it more obvious, but I could also see it maybe standing out too much. Sorry for your loss I like that you are still honoring her in your program.

I'm so sorry. This is a tough one. Are you doing anything else for her? If so, you could put "ceremony flowers in rememberance of (name), maid of honor." Where the MOH would typically go in the program?

Excellent idea, thank you!

And thank you all for your kind words. I really appreciate it.

Laura,

As far as anything else for Lisa, I was given an idea on here about putting a little half column thing up where she would have stood, then having a bridesmaid put a bouquet on it as they walked down & took their place. I loved that idea at first, but then it seemed like more of a memorial than I wanted. If I'm going to end up crying on my wedding day, I don't want it to be over someone who passed away, you know? Just too sad of an idea.

So this ceremony program is my new idea for integrating her without putting some type of physical representation at the front of the church.

Tara's idea is beautiful.

I'm SO sorry for your loss. That has to be so hard to deal with.

Maybe rather than the column at the church, maybe have a framed photo of her at the reception? Its a sweet way to acknowledge her without making it a memorial...

I'm so so sorry for your loss

So sorry for you loss! I like the "in spirit" wording. And agree about the bouquet, that would make be bawl my eyes out.

This may be super weird but the first thing I thought was to add a halo to her silhouette in the program.

Yea I wouldn't want that type of a memorial at the ceremony either, I'd see it and have a hard time too. I sort of meant more like saying the general flowers for the ceremony were in Lisa's honor, if you have any at your alter. My friend did this and it was just like a nod in her program, not actual flowers set aside. You could leave a reserved seat somewhere with a flower or two on it if you wanted..that's what we're doing. Either way, it's so sweet that you are choosing to remember her and honor her role somehow. I know it's hard.
