At LovePoemsAndQuotes.com, you’ll find two beautiful samples of wedding program wording, as well as a host of other text suitable for just about any occasion. Each sample provides a listing of the ceremonial events as well as the names of those participating – all in a very succinct, yet dignified and elegant manner.

The first sample is a pretty straightforward wording that first gives the names of the bride and groom in a simple text beginning “The marriage ceremony uniting …” and then goes on to list the date, time, and place of the wedding. The next portion (on the same page) lists each event, such as the “seating of the grandparents and parents,” and so on. The opposite side, or the right side, of the program then lists all the members of the wedding parts, i.e., parents, grandparents, bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl, ring bearer, etc.

The second wedding program wording sample is a bit more fun. This one is three pages and begins with the names of the couple and then the words, “A One-Night Only Performance,” which lends a little much-welcomed levity to what many consider such a somber occasion. The date, time, and location are then placed beneath.

The next section looks like the program of a play, almost, with a “Cast of Characters” heading and all the “roles” each wedding participant will be playing. The third page begins with the “Setting,” a nicely worded, short but descriptive paragraph describing the upcoming event. Then the events of the wedding are listed, such as the Prelude, the Processional, Opening Words, and so on.

Another online source to find wedding program wording is at www.Afavor4u.com. Here you’ll find a screenshot of a program that provides a very simple text that works well with any type of wedding. It is two pages, with the couple’s names, the date, time, and place of the wedding at the top of the left page and continues below that with the events in their order of occurrence. The right side is headed with the words, “The Wedding Party,” and simply lists the names of the participants and what role they are playing.

There are many online sites from which to choose wedding program wording to suit your needs. Just be sure to check with your officiant or minister to make sure all the events are occurring as he/she has planned and double-check the spelling of the names of the people in your wedding party.
