I am working on my DIY wedding programs and am utterly CLUELESS and very confused with "wedding terms" such as "processional" etc. What I can tell you is that for our "prelude music" (?) music- we recorded my FH playing acoustic guitar for people to enjoy while waiting for the ceremony to begin. Then there will be an acoustic song (recorded on CD by my FH) for the Bridal party to walk down to, and then a seconded song for me to walk down to. So I guess those two songs would be considered the "processional music?" But my

    Question is- what is the term for the music being played PRIOR to the bridal party entrance and my own entrance? There are quite a few songs that will be played prior to our entrances. How do I go about wording this on the wedding program? Do I include ALL of the songs that he recorded? Some of them? Or just the songs that bridal party and myself walk down to? I am so confused..... LOL

    Before the ceremony is Prelude Music. Then Processional. After the ceremony is Postlude Music.

    Sorry, I didn't answer all of your question. No, you don't have to list all of the songs he plays. Just the ones for the ceremony starting at the Processional and going through to the Recessional. I have a file on this somewhere. I'll post it for you when I get home from work.

    Prelude is all music before the wedding party begins...do NOT list the songs!!! (unless there is a special song that is played last). Processional(even if it's two songs) is for the wedding party--list this

    Recessional is what to go out to---list this

    Postlude is the music when the guests leave (do NOT list these)

    As far as prelude, how do you list the musician's name who is providing the music on the program?
