What to include in a wedding ceremony program
- 1
Order of ceremony
List each moment in sequence — processional, welcome, readings, vows, ring exchange, pronouncement, and recessional — so guests can follow along.
- 2
Wedding party introductions
Name the bridal party, groomsmen, parents, officiant, and any special participants so guests know who's who.
- 3
Readings and music
Credit the readings, scripture, poems, and songs — and the people performing or reading them — for a personal touch.
- 4
Reception details
Tell guests what happens next: cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, with the time and location of the reception.
- 5
Thank-you message
A short note from the couple thanking guests for sharing the day adds warmth to the keepsake.
- 6
In loving memory
Honor loved ones who have passed with a brief, tasteful remembrance line near the bottom of the program.
- 7
Ceremony fan or keepsake
Print on heavier stock as a fan for an outdoor summer ceremony, or as a folded keepsake guests take home.

What goes in a wedding program
A wedding ceremony program usually has a cover with the couple's names and date; an inside panel with the order of ceremony; a section naming the wedding party and officiant; credits for readings and music; and a closing note with reception details and a thank-you. You can add or remove any section — keep it to one page for a simple service, or use a folded booklet for a longer ceremony.
Folded booklet or flat single page?
A flat Letter sheet (8.5×11 in) works beautifully for a one-page program printed front and back. For more content — full wedding party, multiple readings, a remembrance — fold a Letter sheet in half to create a four-panel booklet. Both layouts are editable here; pick the one that fits how much you want to include.
Printing your wedding programs
Export a print-ready PDF and print on quality card stock at home or at a local print shop. For 50+ guests, a print shop produces crisp, consistent copies quickly. Choose a slightly heavier paper for fans or keepsakes so they hold up through the ceremony and after.

Frequently asked questions
What is a wedding program template?+
A wedding program template is a pre-designed, editable layout for the printed ceremony program. It has sections for the order of ceremony, wedding party, readings, and reception details — you customize the text online and export a print-ready PDF.
What size do wedding programs print at?+
Most wedding programs are Letter size (8.5×11 in) printed flat front-and-back, or folded in half for a 5.5×8.5 in four-panel booklet. Both options are editable here.
Can I add our photo or a monogram?+
Yes. Upload an engagement photo or monogram to the image zone and resize it to fit. Many couples add a photo to the cover or a monogram beside their names.
Can I make a wedding program fan?+
