Answer 2

Most wedding programs I've seen lists the parents and grandparents then the wedding party, the minister, singers, piano player, and reception servers.  Then it gives the order the ceremony, such as lighting of the candles and which song is playing or being sung, the seating of the mothers and grandmothers and the song they're coming out to, then the attendants walking in, then the giving of marriage, the exchange of rings, the lighting of the unity candle, the introduction of the couple.  If you wish you can put a personal note from you and your fiance thanking everyone for coming and put your new mailing address on it.

Answer 3

Any stationary or printing store will be able to show you many different examples, from a simple single page to a more complicated tri-fold. You'll want to choose one that fits the style and formality of your wedding.

As for what goes on it, most wedding programs list the "order of service" - what is happening during the ceremony (religious or otherwise). You list what's happening, who is speaking, and the title of your music selections in the order that they occur. Most programs also list the members of the wedding party (ex: Sally Smith - Maid of Honor, sister of the bride).

Answer 4

Basic outline

time line of Events

list of attendants and readers in order of processional and their relation to bride or groom

Answer 5

I'd include the list of people involved including bridesmaids, minister, organ player, etc. It's usually a nice touch to add how you know the person, if applicable, like "maid of honor, Julie Jones, cousin of the bride". Include a basic list of the order of events in the ceremony. It's nice to include a thank you to everyone for coming. If you need to take up more room, you could add a story about how you met or your engagement, but if it doesn't fit, then don't worry about it. You might add a love poem or scripture of some sort. A lot of people use pictures. I had a special section dedicated to family members that have passed away and explained that the flowers on the stage were in honor of them.
