Programs: Another Labor of Love!

posted 1 year ago in Ceremony programs

Long ago, I saw a post by fellow bee, Miss Plumeria, on her great wedding programs. This is totally inspired by her work!

They're the size of a letter size piece of paper folded in half... twice. Remember my invitation's sash and envelope liner? well i also got a spread printed of two of our engagement photos.Programs: Another Labor of Love! :  wedding graphic design brown gold orange ivory diy Program2

They make for great surprises for the guests, dont you think?Programs: Another Labor of Love! :  wedding graphic design brown gold orange ivory diy Program3

It was several pages long, with a few dedications, 2 pages for the bridal party, 4 for the ceremony, an acknowlegements page, a thank you, and a quick list of the reception's program as well.Programs: Another Labor of Love! :  wedding graphic design brown gold orange ivory diy Program4

I love your programs Miss Smallville.  Can you tell me what program you used to create them?  I want to copy you Wink, but not sure how.

Hi Ladies!

Thanks for all of your inquires

I cant exactly give a template, because i did this from scratch. Also, giving away my design as a graphic designer who specializes in weddings (www.tohaveandto-fold.com) is kinda like giving away the secret recipes of a popular restaurant, lol. However i've attached a pdf on how make a program like this without giving the whole thing away for free.

Fellow bee and graphic designer, Mrs. Plumeria, also goes through this step by step.

Programs: Adobe InDesign (layout and page design), Adobe Illustrator (Graphics), Adobe Photoshop (Photo color correction)

fonts: Bickham Script & Adobe Garamond

Cover - Printing: Esse Texture Latte

Text - Strathmore writing Natural White

Photo pages - VellumTranculent White

book binding: Saddle stich stapler (1 staple), Needle & thread (Gold embroidery thread)

Size:  11 x 4.25 flat, 5.5 x 4.25 folded

These are amazing and super classy! I bet your guests will love (loved?) them!

I would love to do something like this, but, admittiedly, the binding gives me a little bit of cold feet. Did you do the saddle stitching by hand?

thank you! they loved it. infact i've gotten a few job inquiries on family friends' future weddings in the last week! Its great to know my work was appreciated!

you can use a saddle stapler and skip the actual needle and thread sewing. i just did that for looks!
