One of the most painful parts of planning a wedding has to be the ceremony booklet – from copying your readings etc. across and making sure everything is aligned (and keeping an eye on moving fonts!) to stapling them all together, it can be a little on the tedious side. But once they’re done, they do look really cute and can be a great way of keeping your theme going, incorporating important details plus some lovely sentiments (like thanking guests/family or mentioning lost loved ones) and some personality. Your ceremony booklet (or ceremony programme/order of service as peeps across the pond refer to them) can come in many guises from a simple one page pamphlet or scroll with just the essentials (song choices, bridal party details and the order of events for example) to cute fans for sultry summer weddings, sweet heart shaped designs, or for those looking to cut out the printing woes altogether – a chalk board or sign full to the brim of all the important details that your guests can keep an eye on.
There’s also lots of awesome ways to bring a fun, celebratory tone to your booklets with everything from pouches filled with confetti for the grand exit to hankies for guests to dab away their happy tears. We’ve rounded up some gorgeous ideas we’ve comes across on our Pinterest travels with some fab design features like statement ribbons, sweet illustrations/caricatures of the happy couple (some couples even include little illustrations of the bridal party on the inside or fun facts!) and amazing typography based designs to help inspire your own ceremony booklet choices – check out 30 of our faves below…
