Divide your program into four sections with this fun accordion fold.
Set the tone right from the start by greeting guests at the ceremony with colorful programs suspended from every seat.
To make these programs (one letter-size sheet yields two programs), arrange your text horizontally on the page in landscape mode over four columns. Cut the sheet in half, wrap a 10-by-7/8-inch band around the center, and tape in back. Bend the ends of each program toward the center and tuck them under the band, making sure they overlap slightly.
For a couple who travel, a booklet resembling a bundle of luggage tags is an inspired choice.
Guests prone to waterworks at weddings could use one of these: a ceremony program that doubles as a tissue cache.
These programs feel like personal letters to your guests. For each, cut a strip of card stock, trim the corners of one end into a point, and fold ends inward to overlap. Stitch computer printed pages on a sewing machine, and seal with a sticker; we used a tree image that we printed on sticker paper.
A lot can be held together with two ribbons tied into bows.
Get a custom stamp made for the cover of your program and stamp it on paper (in this case, we used wooden sheets).
For this mini program, six pages of text are printed on a single strip of paper, which is then folded in a fun accordion fashion.
This simple program features letterpress text on textured paper.
Even on a shoestring budget, a smart fabric cover can spruce up the most basic booklet. Just choose a wide trimming (ours is a Hyman Hendler & Sons 3 7/8-inch vintage taffeta ribbon), cut your paper to fit, and glue the pieces together along the top inside edge.
