programs

We LOVE funny wedding programs, and if you’re having a nontraditional wedding, programs can play a very important role in helping your more traditional guests figure out what’s going on. Here are some unique and creative wedding program ideas for you to borrow from

folded program with inbuilt pocket 1 alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

The wedding program with a built-in pocket for confetti (or favours!)

I wanted a cheap one-sheet wedding program that I could print myself, and an non-messy way for the maple leaf ash seeds (helicopter seeds) to be both distributed and contained during the ceremony. I couldn’t find any straight-forward ways of doing it by Googling, so I wasted a couple of hours folding paper and found the solution!

These Daily Prophet wedding programs are bloody magic

Tribesmaid Tochart just had her Harry Potter-themed wedding. Before she (hopefully!) fills out a bride profile, we thought we’d share with you her bloody brilliant wedding programs a la The Daily Prophet. (Bonus points if you find the Doctor Who surprise appearance.)

These bilingual wedding programs are awesome in both English AND Catalan

Wording from an Unplugged Wedding program

Last year, we introduced the concept of “Unplugged Weddings,” where couples ask their guests to put down their cameras. We even gave you some examples of how to word your request.

Well, a year later, we’re starting to see more and more couples choosing to unplug their weddings. New York’s Ryan Brenizer Photography recently posted this photo of a wedding program on his Facebook wall, with the caption, “I saw this in the wedding program yesterday. Fantastic.” Looks like they read Offbeat Bride!

Vanessa & Mando’s rose that took 13 years to bloom wedding

Wearing mom’s dress from the ’70s, bearing roses and the look of love, these two celebrated 13 years together by making it official. Add in classic cars, some DIY (program fans and caramel apples!), and a sweet rose theme, and this is an offbeat lite wedding that makes me squee.

80+ free wedding printables – our humungous list of downloadable DIY wedding projects

There are hidden freebies all over the web: downloadable templates, patterns, fonts, fingerprint trees, and more. I stumble across them all the time while browsing blogs. But now I’m attempting to compile a MEGA-SUPER-MONDO list of all kinds of free printables and downloadable templates for wedding DIY projects.
