Wedding Program - what do you think?

Lily, on February 8, 2013 at 10:50 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 14

Ok, so after Reenski gave me detailed instructions on VistaPrint, I spent last night (4 hours or more) coming up with the design for our Wedding Programs...yes, this is all I got in 4 hours: our front cover LOL

Anyhow, I wanted to share with you guys and see what you think? Is the picture too much? Would it look nicer without? I don't know...I'm also concerned that the font may be too large when I get the actual print out. Does anyone know how I can order a sample of my design?

ALL opinions are welcome...I don't get offended, so please speak your mind Smiley winking

Thank you!!!

    I think as cute as the picture is, I like it better on a save the date than a wedding program.

    Maybe a monogram there?

    What are you designing them on? What size is the font?

    @Hayley, she's building it right on VP, I believe.

    I'll second, I think a monogram would be better in place of the picture.

    You should be able to order a proof right from the edit screen -- on the left hand side, there should be an option to do that.

    They are cute. but i think hayley is right. there more of a save the date look. usually programs will have info, like names of the wedding party. a list of parts of the ceremony ect. but i do think there cute! your on the right track. Smiley smile

    Thank you ladies!!! I see you as the WW goddesses lol

    And yes, like Reenski mentioned, I'm actually designing it on VP. I just realized that these only have one side to print on inside, so now I'm moving on to the Brochures so that I can include more information inside Smiley smile

    The heading is a size 26, our names are font size 20 and the bottom info is in size 12. I agree on the picture...FH was the one that liked it, but I kind of thought it could be tacky lol I'm glad to know I'm not the only one lol

    I don't know how I would do a monogram...also, our initials are the same L & L, it would funny if his last name started with an "O", we could be the Laughing Out Loud Family LMAO

    You can create some monograms on Wedding Chicks to see how those look and I know Hayley has other tips/tricks to creating a monogram.

    Monograms can be your last name initial and first names.

    I was wondering what document you were creating it on.... the size looked like a note card. A tri-fold brochure or rack card would work.

    The info part in size 12 or 14 is great. And visually the other info is balanced well with the space.

    Reenski & Hayley, where have you been all my life?!?! LOL I have been bragging about this site and all the wonderful things I've found ever since I started paying attention to these forums, I wish I would've seen them way before I started sealing the deal in a lot of my options Smiley smile

    You ladies are awesome! Are you wedding planners? You should be!!!! I have one and she hasn't come up with these ideas, I should fire her and hire you ladies Smiley winking LOL

    Are you taking his last name? What about just doing an "O" as the monogram, or whatever initial your last name is going to be?

    We ordered napkins and just had a big "S" on them

    Hayley, how do you do that so fast? Are you a VP employee??? lol I was just looking at the same brochure...except the blue is different from my colors, but I think I'll do something like that in white and add accents in tiffany blue.

    Ok, so Wedding Chicks is my second favorite website after WW....OMG!!! I made my first monogram!!! LOL

    I acctually really like the idea of a picture on the program. Im not a huge fan of using pics for STDs and I think the program is the most fun way to use pics. I guess Im the minority here lol. But I say do what you like, but now that I saw you using pics on your program I may do the same, so thanks for the inspiration!
