Wedding program examples by ceremony
- Church or Catholic ceremony: add the liturgy of the word, the responsorial psalm and the communion hymn to the order of ceremony. Confirm the order with your officiant.
- Short civil ceremony: use pages 1, 3, 4 and 8, and turn pages 5 to 7 into photos or a love story timeline.
- Cultural traditions: add a short explanation of each tradition so every guest can follow along.
How to edit it
- Open the .docx in Word or Google Docs.
- Type over the sample text. Keep text 0.25 in inside the page edges.
- Insert your monogram or engagement photo into the shaded box on the cover.
- Save as PDF and read every name once more.
Keep 8, 12 or 16 pages: a stapled booklet uses sheets of 4 pages.

For the ceremony, we print the same file as a full-color, saddle-stitched booklet and ship it to you or the venue anywhere in the lower 48 states.
