Title: Philadelphia String Quartet - Wedding Programs

The standard wedding music consists of prelude, processional, ceremony and postlude music.
Unless you have specific requests, the prelude music is often chosen by the musicians. They keep in mind the style of your wedding and choose the music accordingly.
Traditionally, the processional consists of music for the seating of the family, selections for the bridal party, and a piece for the bride's entrance.
You will also need to choose one song for the recessional.
There are always exceptions, so do not feel compelled to adhere to this structure; professional musicians can easily customize your wedding music to your preferences. Philadelphia String Quartet created five sample programs to simplify selecting your wedding music. Each program is designed with various wedding themes and styles in mind. (Traditional, Jewish, Contemporary, etc.)

Title: DIY Designer Wedding Program Fans

One of the fastest and most widely spread trends to emerge from weddings in recent years is the concept of the DIY Bride. With costs of the market going up and bridal budgets going down, soon-to-be couples everywhere have found it more and more important to embrace their creative side with do-it-yourself projects that will save them (and anyone else footing the wedding bill) a pretty penny! And one area that's truly seen the effects of the DIY frenzy is Wedding Invitations & Stationery.

Because DIY Stationery adds both a personal touch to your wedding day while saving you money, it's no wonder couples have really started to embrace all their possibilities. And nothing has more possible trend potential than our DIY Designer Fan Program Paper Kits!

Popular for both indoor and outdoor settings alike, these chic programs will not only keep your guests cool and informed, but they will look hot and stylish in any setting. Fashioned in 80# cardstock, each kit includes fifty 6 ½ by 9 inch program fans, fifty wooden sticks, adhesive glue dots, test printing templates, instruction sheets and a CD with pre-designed layouts that you can use for inspiration.

By using one of the predesigned templates, you'll be able to create your own look by changing the text, fonts and colors to more appropriately serve you. It's a fun and easy way to bring your unique touch to your big day. And for the more artsy bride, feel free to start with a blank template and create your own design from scratch. All you have to do is:

Open up a blank template in Microsoft Word

Add your own clip art, pictures, borders and designs to the background and fill in your text over

Customize your fans with a thematic look to match your personal taste and wedding décor -- the only limit is your own creativity; so, stay as simple or get as over-the-top as you want!

Once you've completed your design either by modifying one of the pre-designed layouts or creating one of your own, you'll be ready to print!

Set your printer up to letter size paper and print out the amount accordingly
Once printed, you'll be ready for construction

Just punch out the fan from the perforated cardstock and use the glue dots to adhere the wooden stick handles to the back of the paper.

Feel free to embellish your one-of-a-kind creations with ribbons, rhinestones or even textured paper to really bring them to life and make them your own! On your wedding day, display your beautiful program fans in a basket up front or on the seats to greet your guests!

And don't let the fun stop there. You can also use these as DIY fans as menus, table numbers, instruction cards or even signs for your photo booth! Again, the possibilities are limitless and the do-it-yourself nature leaves the details up to you!!

Thanks for watching and cheers to many years of happiness!
