Hi there,

I'm not good with the computer and high-tech stuff, but I'll like to design my church wedding programme on my own, to give it a personal touch and have a sense of ownership. Does anyone know of any easy-to-learn graphics or computer software or applications that would allow me to do that? Where can I get hold of that? Any other alternatives?

The wedding is this June, and I'll like to learn it quickly so I can send the design to the printers to have the programmes printed soon.

Thanx a million!

you can try MS word and use the font (eg: Nuptical)

it is not too difficult
have fun

er.... btw, will be trying to do mine around april
so if you like, do e-mail me for a soft copy then to modify if you want to

Hi smile,

Sorry I took so long to get back to this thread, I dind think anybody would want to reply to my queries

Anyway, I took a look at the website you mentioned, not bad!

But what I'm more concerned about is the graphical design, rather than the wording, of the wedding programme: like what shd the cover look like and how do I come up with it, what size paper to use, how many times I shd fold the paper and still get the graphics to coincide at the edges, etc. I'm thinking of folding the wedding programme in such a way that it opens up like a flower or something like that, so it wun be so boring.

The sample wedding programme covers seen at the website are quite interesting, but I'm not sure if I want to use the "painting-painting" kind shown there, but they do offer some inspiration to what I'd like on my cover :) Thanks!

I'm still keen to take a look at your soft copy, will email you sometime soon.

Hi Smile and Kwaif,

My friend had her programme booklet done at this place call Occasions, very nice and very personal. According to my friend, she herself came out wif the design and the girl at Occasions help her put it in a booklet form. They provide full colour printing svs too.

I'm gonna check it out myself. Think u can email them at myoccasions@yahoo.com

Hi Kwaif,
Software you can have a go at for graphic design are:
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
Macromedia FreeHand

What kind of pictures do you have in mind for the programme cover? cartoon type or abstract?

I did my own church wedding bulletin. the cover had a picture of me & my hubby. I also have a small collection of friends' invitation cards and programmes - for ideas.

email me at TidyFairy@yahoo.com
I could mail u a copy of mine if u like.

Is yours a Catholic or Protestant service?

Hi Tidy Fairy,

Thanks for the info provided :)

Yes, it would be nice if you could email me a copy of the church wedding programmes for can1 kao3 purposes. Think having photos on the cover is also a good way out too, no need so troublesome go and learn computer programs to design graphics :)

The wedding is a Protestant one.

Hi TidyFairy.
I would appreciate if you could email me a sample of your program. My hubby is catholic and I am not. And I am given the task to handle this on my own as my hubby is outstationed most of the time. Having some difficulty with it.
So is there anything else I need to do to prepare for a catholic church wedding?
Many thks!
Cheers!

Hi Tidy Fairy

I am so glad I chanced upon this thread too. My wedding is in end May, having headaches with the invitation cards and program too...

I am thinking of doing the program myself, but would like more ideas and suggestions. Could you please email me your sample to floko100@yahoo.com.sg? Mine is an anglican wedding.

Thanks alot in advance!

Hi All,

I also do my own church wedding invitation card and bulletin myself. I used microsoft publisher to do the bulletin. I can e-mail your my soft copy should your be interested. However, mine is a christian wedding so the program is just a4 side paper folded into 3. it is different from what a catholic wedding where a whole booklet is needed.

Hi jc,

I just had a Catholic wedding in September 2002. I am Catholic but my husband is not so our wedding was just a service and not a full mass. Let me know if you need any help cos I planned and organised the whole wedding as my husband who is an amercian was in the US during the months of preparation so I had to do everything myself. I am a very new Catholic and had a hard time figuring out what to do and not to do but somehow with God's grace, I was able to get everything done and the wedding service was beautiful.

Email me at seraphim1970@yahoo.com should you need any help, I will try my best to help you.

Hi Corie

Thanks for the program but I cannot open the file. Went to the website as suggested but still cannot open.

Do you think you can save it in another format eg. eg. in word, powerpoint and send to me again? Sorry for the trouble. If too troublesome, it's ok.

Hi Corie and Abribas

I had the same problem too, the Microsoft website has no Microsoft Publisher for download...even though I searched for all versions (I am using Windows 2002).

Corie, if its convenient, can I also have a copy of the bulletin in another format. If not, its ok too. I will try to look for the software :)

BTW: I would like to have a look too!

Please send to melkel@singnet.com.sg
