Wedding Program - host & hostess

Megan, on March 1, 2021 at 9:16 PM Posted in Planning 0 7
I thought our wedding program was perfect but after my fiancé looked it over he wants to add our host and hostess to the program which causes the wedding party to no longer fit on one page (font is already small enough to start to be questionable for the older guests to read so going smaller is not an option). My Google searches aren't coming up with a lot of this being a thing on the programs. Should we include them? Do I put them in the line up with the wedding party? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The bride and groom host the wedding. It's also a given from the invites.

    Could you change the spacing?

    Because the first line of the invitation lists the hosts, programs usually do not, unless it is a small thank you from the couple to their parents, or whoever hosted the wedding. Does your program already have two columns, one on each side of the page as you open it folded the long way, and some on the back?
    I have usually seen notes thanking this person or that for hosting the wedding and making dreams possible, either at the bottom of the second column, or on the back.

    I think Judith's suggestion is perfect!

    Also - if your parents are the hosts, they are typically listed as parents of the bride or groom anyway in the program! If your hosts are someone else, or even if you just want to give some extra love - the "thank you" portion would be perfect! (We put ours on the very back of our programs!)

    Here's a great example from Pinterest:

    The host/hostess we're talking about is the couple we designate to let tables know when it's their turn to go get food. I thought it was odd to put them on the actual program since they don't have really any duties for the ceremony and thought during our speeches at the reception it would be more appropriate to thank them during that piece? We already have a "Thank you" section on the program to all our guests. So I'm just at a lose here.

    There's really no need to have them on the program...especially if they're just people letting tables know when it's time to get their food. I've never seen a wedding program have staff (essentially that's what they are) listed on the program.

    Maybe you could add in your 'thank you' section a little thank you to your vendors and those that helped out on your wedding day? That way it doesn't look out of place by specifically thanking just them, but they still get thanked?

    There is no meed to list pr! hank everyone for every little thing. Only the parent type hosts. People who pull curtains open or closed, do light switches,or cue people to get food or desserts,or drive the car to pick up the couple, no. It would read like a program for a second grade play.
