DIY Wedding Program Booklet

The booklet is has 12 pages excluding the cover page and the back cover page.

Here's some snap shots.

My first plan for messages for the newlyweds supposed to be in heart shapes paper to be placed in the registration area as wedding guest book. But I changed my mind and I made a program booklet where they can just write the message for the newlyweds. Guests can just tear the paper from the booklet. Below is the actual one I made for the wedding program booklet. The tear here was already pre-cut using perforated blade so that it can be easily detached. 

I bought 2 packs of 100gsm paper for 6sgd each. 2 pack of 180 gsm paper for the cover.  I was able to make to make 160 booklets all in all. The size of the booklet is only 9.5cm. One A4 paper can be divided into three parts.

I had to do trial and error to determine which page should be printed on which side and division. I printed them back to back - like a real booklet by the way.

The wedding program booklet consist of 1. Cover Page, 2. Welcome Message 3. Things to Enjoy in the Reception 4. Wedding Entourage 5. Wedding Entourage 6. Wishes for the newlyweds 7. Blank 8. I Spy Game 9. Fill the Surnames Game 10. Words for the Heart 11. Thank You Message 12. In loving Memory 13. Back Part of the Cover.

Using a normal stapler and rubber (eraser as support) I stapled 2 cm from the end on both ends.

So we had two games in the booklet - I spy Game and Fill the Surnames. 

Guests were able to participate in the game. We had two winners for I spy Game and One for Name the famous couples. 

Not all of them will be able to join the actual games in the reception like the vegetable games we had etc anyway. I think having this kind of booklet (wedding program booklet) is an additional entertainment for the waiting guest.

Wedding Signage Idea - Human Statue

Wedding signage lets your guests know that they are at the right place.  It is also the best way to welcome your guests in your wedding.

Here are some examples of wedding signage

Credits to the owner

As for our wedding, we had to have a signage since there were three weddings happening on that day - Oasis Manila was fully booked.

For your information (please see the picture below)

Above cost around Php 800.00  + 600 delivery from Chasing Dreams Events. Nice right? But I wanted it to be different. I find the wood direction signage as plain and boring. Something like this is good for garden wedding or something so I decided to get a human statue. I searched online for human statue (c/o olx). The usual range is around 1500 to 2500 pesos for 3-5 hours. Luckily, I found dancing statue group for 1500 pesos c/o demi.

And here's what we had for our wedding signage.

wedding signage - human statue (nan and nen)

Originally, the dancing statue was at the entrance of the Oasis building. Around dinner time, he was asked to go inside the reception area - added some entertainment.

The human statue for our wedding  was mainly as 'signage holder' but it added entertainment not only for the young ones, also for the adults. They find it quite unique and innovative. Not all weddings in Manila have human statue for their weddings anyway.
