DIY Wedding Revisited: Program Templates

Due to the amount of requests for my template for these programs I have decided to provide the template FREE to all potential brides who want to recreate this look for their special day! 



Before this template will work on your computer you will need to download the following fonts: Splendid ES and Calabri. You can get Splendid ES free from here, and Calabri is typically found on most computers.

Then, click HERE to get a copy of the template.  This link will take you to the Google docs version of the template.  The template fonts WILL be screwed up, but since you have downloaded these fonts in your computer and loaded them into Word (you can use a tutorial like this if you are unfamiliar with the process) once you download the file the fonts should be correct.  Next, download the file onto your computer and it all should be good to go for you to put in your own information!

If you want to know more about how to assemble to programs go here to the original post!  Measurements and further instructions for assembling are included on the template.

Happy crafting!


P.S. my blood, sweat, and tears went into these programs and they are the sole design of Ann from the Domestic Domicile.  I have no problem sharing my templates with all those amazing brides out there, but this template is designed for personal use only.  It is for kick butt DIY brides and the reproduction of this template is not to be used for profit.

    I absolutely love these programs and want to try and make them myself! What size cardstock did you use?

    Hi! I used regular 8 and 1/2 by 11 inch cardstock. For the blue backing I cut one sheet in half.

    Thank you so much!! I cannot wait to try and make these on my own. What did you use to bond the cardstock with the Wedding Party sheet? Also, what size regular paper did you order for the actual program pages? You are a life-saver!!

    I folded the backing sheet over the top (which helped) and if I remember correctly I used some double sided tape to stick the back sheet of the program to the program backing. I used regular sheets of paper for the program pages (again so I could put it through the printer) and formatted the printout to have several pages on one sheet of paper.

    Need some help. My D-i-L to be has asked me to help with these since I make cards often. Glad to do it, but as I was reading the directions, I am a bit confused. You mentioned cutting the backing paper in half lengthwise. That will leave me with two pieces of 4.25 x 11. So far this makes sense. Then I read that the template for the pages was also 4.25 wide, yet your visual shows approximately .25 in of border on all sides. BAsed on that, either you cannot get two out of the backing or the sheets need to be narrowed to allow for border. Hate to push but I have 2 weeks to make 300 of these so, I need to know what to do here.

  23. The Domestic DomicileMay 9, 2012 at 4:54 PM

    Hi Mamapow! You are absolutely right!! I wrote this post almost a year after my DIY wedding so my brain was kind of fuzzy. The inset sheets are 4.25 inches - and after I drug out all of my wedding memorabilia and extra sheets of cardstock I realized that the cardstock width measures to 4 5/8 inches – which must mean I only used one sheet per program! Dependant on text size the insets could always be shrunk down to accomodate for a 4.25 inch cover. Hope this helps!

      I think unless you are making very few,you need to reduce the text box. I thought your pictures looked wider than standard. One other option would be to widen and use 12 x 12 paper cut in half. That would allow you 5.5 inches of width for text and an extra inch for the length with very little extra cost. (This works unless you,as I had to, have to use silver cardstock. This does not come in 12x12 that is silver on both sides.

    Hi! Love the programs but I can't figure out how you got you A & R like that on the front page!!! It's driving me nuts cuz I can't figure it out to save my life! Please let me know how you did that part. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  25. The Domestic DomicileMay 14, 2012 at 2:26 PM

    Hi Alencia! The A and the R are actually seperate text boxes. You move the text boxes closer together until the letters overlap! This is really hard (maybe impossiable?) to do in word. I did mine in Powerpoint but you can also do it in photoshop or publisher!

    Hey - ladies who requested a template it should be in your inbox. Anonymous- After peeling apart my programs (I may the DIY post a while after the actual making of the programs) I found that I stapled all the sheets of paper together. I only glued the last sheet (wedding party) to the back of the program. When I folded the cardstock top over I added got glue in between the sheets and the card stock that was folded over on top. I then did my slits and tied my ribbon! Hope that answers any questions!

  78. The Domestic DomicileJanuary 21, 2013 at 6:15 AM

    Hi guys - the link below has some more information about the cardstock issue and the comments should have more information about dimensions. I bought regular printer paper sized sheets of cardstock. Since I could not get the text small enough to squeeze 2 program backs out of each sheet of cardstock I unfortunately had to use 1 sheet of cardstock per program. I kept the length of the cardstock the same and I believe I added a 1/2 inch to the width of the program paper (equaling a 1/4 inch boarder on each size. Then the way That I folded the top over I had a 1/4 inch left over on the bottom to make the boarder even throughout. Hope this helps!
