Proofreading!

FutureMrs.Saddler, on April 13, 2017 at 9:02 PM Posted in Planning 0 13

Hi ladies! Hope you're all having a wonderful night! I just need a tiny bit of help. I just want to be sure I have all of my commas and periods in the right spot so I don't sound like a dummy that day. Instead of paper programs I am going to Zazzle to have the program printed on poster board so it can be framed. Tell me what you think. Is there anyway I can make this look better? I kept my variation in fonts to a minimum of 2. Thank you!

ETA: Added text to post. Picture is blurry Smiley sad

    Hi! I write/edit for a living so here are my two cents Smiley smile

    You need a space after "Assisted by," and after "Best Man:"

    Also I would probably capitalize "girl" in "Flower girl" since all other titles are capitalized

    And I would put a period after "Trimarchi" Smiley smile

    And this is super nitpicky and personal preference but I would maybe space the bridal party out a bit so each "group" appears more distinguished. But if there's no extra space then that's cool!

    I would maybe say "Celebrant:" (with the colon) to keep it consistent with how you list your best man and maid of honor and then remove the comma from the next line. Either way, I don't think you should have a comma in the "assisted by" line.

    And this is personal preference, but could you say "presentation of gifts by" instead of "gifts brought forward by"? It just sounds a little more formal, IMO.

    I agree with PP. It's very nice though, once you make the edits I think it'll be a nice touch. Smiley smile

    @Heidi I don't mind super nitpicky lol I want this to look good. I only have one shot to get this right Smiley smile

    @rinny Thanks for the input! I was struggling with the last part. FH and I were having trouble wording the last part.

    @Kate will definitely do that! The website itself was acting weird on my computer. So I did this all off of my phone. And I wasn't wearing my glasses. Sometimes seeing things is hard lol

    Thank you everyone for all of your help! I really appreciate it!

    I agree with others comments. I also don't like how BM, MOH and brides maids and grooms men are listed. It doesn't look uniform and looks sloppy IMO

    Prior to my current job, I was a proofreader for a large transcription company, so I am kind of nit picky about things.

    The one main thing I noticed is that there should be no comma after Assisted by, and there needs to be another space. I agree that Girl should be capitalized. There should be a space after Best Man. I think the columns for Bridesmaids and Groomsmen should be changed. I can see that you are trying to center them under the headings, but it makes it hard to read. Good luck

    @NowASeptMrs trust me I'm not done yet! I'm not exactly a huge fan of how I have it placed either. Still tinkering around with how much space I have to work with.

    Thank you for all of your help everyone! Once I have this thing perfect I'll post an update!
