Programs

Mandi, on January 5, 2020 at 11:23 AM Posted in Planning 0 11
So wedding programs seem like a total waste to me. A waste of money and paper. Sure, they are something for guests to look at and read for 45 minutes while they wait for the ceremony to begin...and while they wait for the ceremony to end... but after that, they just end up being left behind, or floating around in the vehicle til they get gas and throw it away in the station's garbage bin.



So I'm looking at saving myself $80+ and thinking about just having a sign made and setting it up on an easel outside of the ceremony and reception?
People can still be nosey and figure out who my wedding party is. But I don't have to be mean to the environment or my budget to do so. (As of right now, no actual ceremony info besides wedding party is going to be available, cuz I feel like I'm just winging it at this point.)

    I agree Mandi, a sign is all you need, I'm doing that also!

    Definitely don’t think programs are necessary either! They were the one of the first things to be cut.

    I definitely agree. Programs are a huge waste.

    Not even a sign is necessary unless you’re having a religious ceremony or some other element that people may need clarification on.

    We didn't have any of that. Unless you are having a long, elaborate ceremony, you don't need to have programs anymore. I barely see them at weddings nowadays.

    We didn’t have programs or a sign, and people figured out what was happening just fine! Lol

    I think they are a waste as well but FH really wants them so I’m letting him have it. I don’t see the point but it is too minor of a detail to have a disagreement about me. I definitely could do without them though 🤷🏽‍♀️

    I think that's fine. We had programs, but lots of weddings don't.

    I totally agree with it being a waste of money and also plan on having a sign. Etsy has 8 billion pretty options so good luck finding one 😉
