Wedding Programs
Wedding programs are usually handed to guests as they enter the ceremony. They provide information such as the timeline and order of events that will be taking place throughout the ceremony. This can be helpful for guests who may not be familiar with certain religious practices for example.
Place Cards
As your guests move from the ceremony to the reception, table place cards can be very helpful in keeping the flow of bodies organized. These can be placed in the exact spot each guest has been assigned or placed on a table in the entrance near a seating chart. Depending on the size of the venue and the guest count you can decide which set up will work best for your event.
Menus
Menus are a great addition to table settings. They can provide an extra delicate detail for your table decor, inform the guests on their choices in case of allergies or preferences, and can also serve as a conversation piece for tables who may be mixed with strangers.
