When searching for ways to make your wedding programs<\/a> intimate and relevant to your wedding theme, consider adding a few DIY additions\u00a0to personalize them. Brides and grooms alike will be happy to know that these homemade embellishments can be an inexpensive way to give your ceremony an extra detail\u00a0that guests are sure to cherish. I have here assembled\u00a0my favorite DIY touches\u00a0that can help you\u00a0approach your ceremony planning stress free!<\/p>\n

\"DIYWeddingPrograms\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ceremony toss packets<\/strong>
\nI just love looking at the wedding pictures of couples walking out from the church with confetti and glitter all around. These photos can make or break a wedding album, so why not plan\u00a0a post-ceremony toss into your programs? Attach a little clear packet of your paper confetti\u00a0(in your wedding colors of course)\u00a0to the back of your programs with double-sided tape. There is no chance a guest will forget to toss the confetti when it’s\u00a0so close at hand.<\/p>\n

Accordion fold<\/strong>
\nIf you’re\u00a0similar to me\u00a0and prefer a clean-cut look when it comes to stationery, this DIY project is for you. Create an 11-by-17-inch<\/a> project in your word processing program of choice. Create text boxes for each section of the program, altering each to have a different color font. You will make two identical programs vertically side by side. Space each section of the program evenly, leaving room between the titles and event details. Once you have printed this paper,\u00a0cut it down the middle. Next, fold the program so that each section header sits above the bend\u00a0that is directly beneath it.<\/p>\n

Issued tissues<\/strong>
\nChances are, most of your guests are going to get choked up when it comes to the ‘I Do’ moment. Help your guests out by taping a cute little envelope containing a color-coordinated tissue to either the front or back of your program.<\/p>\n

Fabric covers<\/strong>
\nOne cheap and easy way to spice up your programs\u00a0is by adding a fabric cover (I wish I used this during my wedding!). Take any fabric that blends with your colorscheme and cut strips that are double the length, but the exact width of each program. Fold each cloth over the top of the program, creating a full cover and either staple or glue it down. Tip: You can use extra fabric you have lying around at home.<\/p>\n

Fans<\/strong>
\nLast but never least is the program fan<\/a>. Just take\u00a0popsicle sticks and glue your programs to the back of each. What a great way to stay cool at an outdoor wedding!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
