Best mutts & dresses tried on: a clever wedding program by the numbers

Try to figure out your favorite part of this hand-designed and super clever wedding program. Is it the illustrated order of events? The best mutts as a feature? The list of “firsts?” Or is it the details by the numbers (how many dresses tried on, cities explored, photos taken…)? I’ll bet you can’t even decide!

Christina and Michael’s carnival wedding with surprise Elvis officiant had so much going on. I particularly remember their cotton candy machine since I’m hungry. But man, there was a TON of awesome.

They took over 40 hours to make by hand and it shows. The Harry Potter programs opened in three different directions to reveal the sequence of events at the ceremony and a special thank you message from the couple.

Are you seeing the footprints pointing at “Processional?” So flippin’ adorable. Fellow Potterphiles: are you not entertained?! Let’s peek at the rest of these Harry potter programs at Andrea and Ron’s wedding. Stay tuned for the rest of the wedding (including floral R2-D2!) later this week…
