Wedding Programs

Confession time! I am becoming a little obsessed with my wedding colors. So, when I was rummaging through the clearance section at Kate's Paperie, I found this gorgeous opaque tangerine cardstock. I enlisted the help of one of my old co-workers to help with the printing, and I popped on our signature wedding "logo." CAN YOU REALLY POP ON A LOGO?? We found a clip art image and cut and paste it onto the front page of the programs. It’s just a palm tree, but to me it represents future wedded bliss and even a fun wedding in the sun! I digress, so here is the end result, and here is how I did it:

wedding program

Materials:

Opaque cardstock (almost feels like plastic)
Plain white cardstock
Sheer ribbon (same ribbon I have been using throughout all of my DIY projects)

Directions:

1. Set up a Word document with two 5-inch wide text boxes, so your text will be evenly spaced on opposite sides of the page.
2. Print your chosen text on opaque cardstock. This will be your front and back cover.
3. Print your chosen text on your plain cardstock, these are your inside pages.
4. Fold both sheets down the center (in half, widthwise).
5. Open the program to the middle page and place the sheer ribbon in the center. Close the program then tie the ribbon into a bow or a simple knot, depending on the amount of ribbon you have.
6. Tie a bow, or a simple knot, depending upon the amount of ribbon you have.
