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.

Re: DIY Layered Wedding Programs

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.

Re: DIY Layered Wedding Programs

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

Re: DIY Layered Wedding Programs

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...

Re: DIY Layered Wedding Programs

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.

Re: DIY Layered Wedding Programs

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.

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?

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!

Welcome to the sisterhood cathymurphy and sensationablyhappy!!! All of us are doing some type of DIY projects. I'm doing table centerpieces, Save-the-date cards, the layered wedding programs that you saw. I'm also doing the ringbearer's pillow, Sugar-cookie cake favors, and pewmarkers. I still have some other things in the works, but I'm having fun!!!
