    I am working on our programs and I feel like I'm missing something.  I've found lots of posts on program design but not a lot about program content.  We are having an interfaith Catholic-Jewish wedding and here is what I have for the programs so far:

    Cover page with our names, date, location

    Two pages (it's a petal fan) with family/bridal party.  I'm planning to list our parents and his grandmother.  All of our other grandparents are deceased, am I supposed to list them?

    Then I have a page listing the officients and the order of the ceremony: 

    Prelude
    Seating of the Families
    Processional
    Bridal Processional
    Opening Prayer
    Reading - Corinthians 13:1-7
    Questions of Intent
    Exchange of Vows
    Kiddush
    Presentation of the Ketubah
    Exchange of Rings
    Catholic Blessing
    Pronouncement
    Jewish Blessing
    Breaking the Glass
    Recessional

    The last petal of the fan will have a thank you message that I haven't written yet.

    We were going to do explainations of the different traditions but decided not to.  It seemed too one sided because I could only find explainations for the Jewish traditions and it felt like by only explaining the jewish traditions, we were pointing them out as being different.  Does that make sense?  Oh, and the Cantor who will be co-officiating has worked some simple explainations into the actual ceremony to explain whats going on.

    Am I missing something here?  I feel like I'm forgetting something.

    A thank you to guests/family?  Any instructions you want to share with your guests?
