    Hmmm... Squashcakes, what do you mean by "cake cutter" ...and you included all of that in your program?

    I think what you have is good. No need to include those mentioned by squashcakes. This seems more appropriate for the Catholic board.

    The mock-up that my pastor gave me included some vendors that were involved in the ceremony-- musicians, florist.  I cut it out of mine for space reasons, but if I had the space, I probably would've left it in.

    Looks fab to me!  Thanks for posting this...I've been working on the programs for what seems like forever and some of the examples I have seen online are just so....blah.

    I just was thinking about this earlier, I would like to mention my wedding planner and my florist ... even my cake baker, maybe the manager (who made life easier) from where I ordered my favors(Is that overboard?)...

    If you have the room, I guess you can add whatever you want. But what you have now looks great.

    I don't see a need to include any vendors on the program.  To me, the simpler the better!

    I would also add any info you'd like your guest to know... like refrain from taking photos during the ceremony & to stay out of the professional photographers way? 

    Seriously... I've seen people literally stand in front of the photographer to get their own shot.

    I would add a small notation about turning off cell phones. It's much more polite than having an announcement...though some groups do need that announcement.

     

    Another thing you might want to do is explain any cultural or religious parts of the ceremony. I'm having a jewish ceremony so we are going to mention the meaning behind the chuppah and the break of the glass, etc. That way people understand what is going on.
