Here is a sample I did for the wedding program I'm making for the wedding. Future, I thought you might want to see this since you are doing yours, too.  Here is the How to  Article On Vibride
 

Those are nice. I love your color choices.

Looks good Bama! I have an extra page but I was able to work it out from the info you gave and this other chick's site. Hey, let's share it with the other ViBrides!

Bama... I justlove it! I saw something similar on a post up in here and was searching high and low for it...I want something like that too. I ended up ordering a sample from satinbow.com,

and place cards

Hoping and praying that I get the sample and can order in enough time for my wedding.
Can't believe how talanted you ladies are!

Bama can I get the instructions also please?

Me too! They are absolutely beautiful!

I'm cutting and pasting the instructions I typed up for myself. I'm anal, I know. If anything confuses you, also check out the links future posted here in this topic -- they should fill in the gaps. And of course, let me know if I can answer any questions.

LAYERED WEDDING PROGRAM BOOKLETS


Materials & Tools

OVERLAY: 100 sheets 8

bama, where did you find the pre-cut paper from?

I ordered the sheer vellum paper from paperandmore.com. The have a large variety of cardstock, and they will pre-cut it for you. Also, I "borrowed" the paper cutter from work, and I will be cutting some of the other sheets myself. If you don't have a paper cutter at home, you can determine what sizes you need the paper cut, and take it to Kinkos for them to cut it.

Those programs are lovely. I wanted to use fans but now I am confused. I really like both of the ideas.

Bama, you did an OUTSTANDING job on the programs!!!

MsBoston, the sample you have below with the table names is the exact style I'm doing for our menu cards, only blue & lime green ribbon.

House, I know how you feel, I was torn between two styles and decided that I would give the wedding party the progam/cd favors as part of their gift and the other program style for the guests. I have a template & instructions for the fan programs if you'd like it.
and if I'm not mistaken I have template for the layered one as well...

Beautiful!!!

I just wanted to let you know that you are truely SICK!
talented, creative, inspirational even, but SICK! LOL!
I couldn't even think of trying this

I finally get to see them at home of course and they are gorgeous!

WOW! These are so beautiful! The colors are so luxurious, bama. You guys have such a great eye for color. How did you decide on those colors?

Ms. Boston if you are feeling crafty we sell the stick on satin bows. They work on favor boxes, menus, invitations, programs, whatever.

Rosie, thanks for making my pic smaller. It was HUGE, and I didn't know how to resize it. I'm glad you like the colors! They are my wedding colors -- cinnamon, espresso and champagne. Since my wedding is in October, I wanted the colors to feel warm and fall-like.

Well, bama, you nailed it! I just love them! Very tasteful.

Wow those are really nice!

I love them as well. My co-workers like that program better then the fans.

I wish to use the layered wedding programs for my wedding. Where did you order the single initial(V) stationary used for the cover sheet?

I love that idea of the layered programs! Great job. Mind if I use that idea as well?

MrsMoose, that's what the board is for - giving and stealing (I mean borrowing) ideas!

Welcome purplesunshine! I believe the V is printed on the page under the vellum overlay.

Hi purplesunshine. The V is a watermark that I did in Microsoft Word. It actually appears beneath the other text on the page. If you decide to do this and need some help, let me know. Good luck!

Bamabride . . . Thank you so much. I am so excited, I can't wait to begin making my programs. Thank you again. Your programs are gorgeous, I printed the picture and I have showed everyone I know.

These are wonderful...Ladies, how do you find the time? I would love to my announcement myself instead of paying someone hundreds of dollars.

I love these programs and want to make them for my wedding. Do you have a word template or something?

Thanks!!!

All I can say is wow ... im really learning a lot from you all... the programs are beautiful and I would love to make some for my wedding ... I did not think of doing anything like this until now.

good idea! i purchased the monogram letters for my cake also, but I didn't think about adding rhinestones...sounds really nice!

I most certainly am cathymurphy. Added to the fact that I'm getting married next year, I'm a professional Wedding Coordinator and so far, I have 6 other weddings for next year. Thank God for my FH, he helps out a lot. So very hands on!!!

My dear vibride sister ~ sensationablyhappy ~ saving money is the name of the game!!!

Bama, you did a great job! It looks so professional!

Here is a website with several templates for DIY projects from programs to menu cards to newsletters, and more.

HTH someone as it has helped me!

Thanks for sharing that link, Future. Teresa, have you checked the Vibride mall for your aisle runner?

Hi teresa

You could pick some up at Michaels under $30 dollars for the floral one.

Bama did do a wonderful job. I might have to buy the stuff and ship them to her to design. lol

Hello ladies, I am new to this forum. Just wanted to say that this program is absolutely amazing. I want to attempt to create this for my February 2008 wedding. How long did it take you to finish this?

Also, do you have an samples/intructions for invitations?
