I'm no help on your question but I wanted to tell you that I always look for your posts because your a few month ahead of me in the planning process. Your questions are always great! I feel like I have a good start on what's next :-)

Nice Instrumental Lil Wayne song....bah ha ha ha ha ha!

YAY Marie!!! I feel so honored that you stalk me... JK JK JK!!! I'm like OCD about everything soooo my planning process is like CRAZY! lol BUT thank you. You made me smile lol

@ Pumpkins Sunshine... I love "How to Love"'s beat, but when I searched for the instrumental version it was horrible...

I have never heard of putting the reception songs on the program.

I'm with Pumpkin's Sunshine. We didn't put our reception songs in the program. And I also didn't list my prelude songs. Just a thought.

I've noticed your OCDness but that's ok you're not alone LOL - I'll be putting the songs down as well in the program. When I'm sitting in the church I like to know the tunes that are being played for my personal enjoyment :-)

Is there a reason why your program is having the reception information in it?

Usually the programs just have the ceremony info.

Also, not sure if you are going to dj-ipod it, or hire someone, but usually there is 15 min (sometimes 30 min) of prelude music for the guests to listen to as they arrive and are seated. I guess it depends on how soon they start showing up with how much music you would need.

If you are keeping the ceremony and reception program all as one... maybe just give it a name like "Bride and Groom" Thank you and no music listed. It would look pretty normal next to the words "toasts" and "prayer"

Otherwise, just give this timeline to the DJ so they know what songs and when to play them.

I'll upload my program for what I have so far... I'm going to print these out on card stock and cut in between the different sections, the tie them at the bottom... you'll see... I just feel like, with the type of program I'm doing, one page of "songs" will be bare so I thought I'd list all the important songs of the day.

..

still working on it

I really like your design, it is Very pretty!

Is the ceremony and reception all at the same place? I only ask because I usually don't bring the ceremony program into the hall with me.

So, you are thinking of listing the songs but not the order of the ceremony?

You could also add a thank you note to your guests for being there with you.

A poem.

Just trying to think of other ways to help you fill up the space.

The monogram is pretty. Usually the bride comes first, but I see your dilemma, have it say "jo" or "oj" Have you tried it with the last name initial too? maybe try OHJ ? (sorry, hard to see his last name)

OJ screams Orange Juice to me lol

And it's all within 50 yards of each other. Ceremony in a field, Reception in an enclosed pavilion.

At the bottom of the last page (songs) I put thank you for sharing our day... and all guests will get a 4x6 thank you photo once we get our pics back

I really really want to list ALL the important songs... I think to fill up the space, I will make a space between each one... I'm just stuck on how to list the "bridal dance" with out everyone knowing it's coming.. But I want them to know what song it is.

Presentation???? or Presenting the Bride?

people won't know what kind of presentation it is?

Just noticed you don't have an announcement song? Are you all not lining up and being announced?

Slide show? but have no slide show????

What do you mean Presentation?? For the "bridal dance"? i don't know if that sounds good. Like... Josh (FH) will be sitting in the center and I will be lip-rapping to Super Bass and for the chorus, my girls and I will dance and stuff... It is a presentation, BUT I'm not sure if it makes sense. I was thinking of putting "Bridal Song" but it's just aggravating lol ORRR "surprise song" lol

As for the announcement song... we're skipping that.
