Program question!

Tasia, on June 30, 2014 at 8:59 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7

Besides the parents, wedding party, greeters, ushers and officiant, is there anyone else we should be including? Do people typically list the grandparents of the bride and groom? And do people typically list the godparents of each as well? What are you guys doing for your programs?

    You include what ever you want!

    Mine is going to list the bridal party, the officiants, the parents, the grandparents, and then have a little remembrance section for my grandmothers who are no longer with us.

    Other than my wedding party and my parents, we're not listing anyone, even the minister. We are adding a small thank you to my paternal grandmother and maternal grandfather who, in their mid 80s will not be able to make the 12 hour drive. I should probably add I got cheap program fan kits more for the fans than the program. The front will have the marriage ceremony of K & K the date and a love quote. On the back I'm listing the wedding party and how they're related . . I.E. MOH Jane Doe . . . Sister of the Bride. very simple

    If you have room, I think it's nice to list grandparents and godparents.

    I was given some advice by a friend who does party planning that when it comes to the wedding program, list anyone that carries a flower you paid for. Example (I'll use mine):

    -The bridemaids

    -The groomsan

    -My Mom and Stepdad

    -My dad

    -His mom and dad

    -My grandma and grandpa

    -His grandma and grandpa

    -The officiant will be named in the program as well

    We are choosing NOT to make mention of our godparents due to horrible family conflict on my side, but you can make mention of whomever you want...if you want to put a picture of your pets in there, go right on ahead!

    We were going to list an "In Memory Of" section with our lost loved ones as well but decided to honor them with a small table at the reception.

    We're listing the bridal party, our parents, his grandparents (all of mine have passed) and the officiant. I'm having a little memory board type thing, so I felt like having that and a little something in the program would be kind of meh.

    Thank you ladies so much! We are having a memorial section as well, and we have decided to include grandparents and godparents. Thanks for your advice! This has helped tremendously!

    I'd also include anyone who's walking down the aisle. If grandparents are seated, they need to be included.
