Unique and Fun Program idea


Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

I wasnt sure I wanted a program but I knew I wanted a Palm fan on the chairs for my ceremony but when I was reviewing the size of the palm fans, I decided it wasnt something I had room to travel with in my already over loaded luggage LOL so I came up with the idea of multi purpose programs that would also serve as fans. When I was sharing the idea with friends and lovely brides on the Canadian Brides thread and got such great feedback, I thought I should share with everyone so other brides looking for inspiration ideas might find something special in this....so here goes :)

 

I printed everything on white 100lb Cover stock. So basically a thicker card stock. (so they wouldnt be flimsy when used as a fan) I then cut and assembled them with a chicago screw. You could also use brads but i find the screws more solid and the pages move more easily.

 

 I hope you enjoy! msnwink.gif

 

In Order:

A Special Note to our guests and wedding party. This says:

we canâ€t thank you enough for being here to share in one of the most important days in our life. This experience wouldnâ€t be the same without your presence and support. It means so much that you have travelled so far to share in these moments with us. We canâ€t express our gratitude enough!

A special thank you to our wedding party; you have showed us so much love and support and our wedding experience has been wonderful because of each and every one of you. Your support and love will never be forgotten and we know we have lifetime friends in all of you. We love you all!

A note to our parents. This says:

there are no words to express our love and thanks. We are here today because of you. You taught us to love and respect and the morals it takes to build a solid foundation in a relationship which will lead to a lifetime of love in our marriage. For that, we canâ€t thank you enough. We love you with all our hearts.

Sand Ceremony. This says: Each container represents the separate journeys we once were on. They also represent our own sets of friends and families; that until today were apart from each other.

When we will blend the sand together, it represents all our lives joined as one. Our once solitary journeys have become one of companionship, as they set forth on a single path together into our future. Our friends and family are as one as well. We will now share those who are a part of our lives as we walk hand-in-hand along the path of our marriage.

Thanks YWS...You can always use the idea for something other then a program....maybe for your welcome Kit in your OOT bag :) or I saw you write on anudrm thread that you may return your fans

you are full of talent...your programs are great.. wish I had of saw these before I order my raffia fans

 

can wait to see other stuff.. OH the flowers great to



 


Yes anudrm did a great job re-inventing the template to her own. These were actually created these in photoshop? Do you have photoshop? you can PM your info and i can send you the PDF i created and you can convert the layers to your own style in Photoshop. Otherwise you could always just re-invent the idea in publisher or which ever program you use. I'd be glad to help. I can send you dimensions and some other stuff. I have the text in a word document as well.

 

The name of the font is carpenter

LOL try fanning yourself with them and if your 65lb is solid enough then you should be okay :) i wouldnt get fans with these it would somewhat defeat the purpose. your program design from my template looks great! keep them fanned out on the chairs and it will look so pretty!

Thanks for the font info, Janet! I love it!

 

How many panels did you put on each 8.5x11 sheet? I'll probably just design in word, since it's what I'm most comfortable with.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
