A program is to serve as a guide for your guests and can multi-task to do some explaining so that you don't have to! Here you will introduce you wedding party, family, and officiants to your guest who may not know everyone and inform your guest of what is going on during your ceremony. Here you can also add background information and explanations of customs for diverse or multi-ethnic celebrations.
One idea that I really like, in lieu of paper, is to have an announcement board with the program on it. Don't plan on this route being a money saver as I would think this to be moderately pricey. Consider it to be a green alternative to paper programs rather than a less expensive option. This board was created by Lindsey Cox at Letters and Light Co. Check out her and her awesome photography.

What your program should absolutely include:
- An introduction of time, place and occasion {The Wedding of Jenny and Brian, October 17, 2015, Pinehust, North Carolina}
- The names of the wedding party and if you like their relationship {Susannah- cousin of the bride}
- The names of speakers and officiants
- Printed readings
- Musical Selections {any explanation is there is specific sentimental value}
- Explanations of customs, or religious rituals that guests may be unfamiliar with. This is especially critical at multi-ethnic or multi-religious ceremonies and helps the guests to feel involved and understand what is going on
You may also include special thank you and remembrances of those not able to be with you.
