A wedding ceremony program serves many different, important purposes: a guide to the order of the ceremony; a list of the members of the bridal party and their relationship to the bride and groom.
Not all guests know everyone in the bridal party, readers or even who the wedding or civil union Officiant is. It is the perfect place to list explain any special rituals or customs in the ceremony to your guests.
It also is a place to officially thank and/or acknowledge parents, friends and anyone's special efforts. It is the perfect spot to remember dearly loved deceased relatives and friends without emotionally upsetting anyone.
Finally, it can be a beautiful keepsake for couples to always remember their wedding or civil union ceremony and that special day.
