 MyWeddingInColorado.com is looking to feature Colorado’s most unique weddings as we approach the end of summer. We know every bride adds a fun twist to their special day that makes the event stand out; whether it’s their theme, decorations, accessories or even how they saved money.

This means our staff will conduct interviews with you and your new honey to find out what made your day special, create a five minute video with your favorite wedding photographs and top two songs and add your story to our website where your friends and family can once again enjoy the love and energy you put into your wedding day.

Now, remember that you are coordinating a formal occassion that involves the combination of very specific traditions and events. And when you have a large group of guests made up of your friends and family it is crucial that you give them a little guidance of what to expect when they arrive. Plus it provides a little entertainment while they anxiously wait for things to get started. Remember the last wedding you attended…you have to admit that everyone including yourself wanted to know what was going on and who was who, thank goodness for that program, right? A wedding reminds me of a theatrical production or classical concert. When you hand your ticket to the usher you receive a program in exchange. So as you are sitting in your seat you can see where things are headed and what to expect. You can even look up the names of the performers and songs.

You can tie any theme into your program, so have fun with it. You can have a modern trendy look, magical and romantic, simple and straight forward, silly…etc. Think about what you both are passionate about, how you met, favorite movie, where you come from, wedding theme or even your honeymoon. Oh, I almost forgot the best part, you can create the program yourself saving another cost. Yes!

My husband and I combined the following into our program:

1. Wedding Date and name of venue
2. Schedule of wedding events (when and where things were going to happen)
3. Names of parents and grandparents, wedding party, vendors, performers and songs
4. Picture schedule (a little insert that had the order of pictures that the photographer will take)
5. How we met
6. Engagement pictures
7. AdamandLauraKraft.com link (recommend creating a website to for future updates for out of state family and friends)
8. Thank you to the guests

Here are a few shots of our program. We used references from the movie “The Princess Bride” since the whole reason we started dating was because my husband reminded me of Wesley and all I wanted to hear him say was “As you wish”. We both love the movie and are very romantic. Using Microsoft Office Publisher we created a theater program with 3 Acts, Intermission, Cast, Crew and Sponsors (Adam and his family are heavily involved in theater). Most of the images were our engagement pictures too (a nice way to incorporate those costly images).
