I used a wired ribbon, which helped me to form the ribbon the way I wanted it and gave the "knot" a nice firm hold on the paper. This is where your ribbon is going, so may you need to use a larger, round hole if your ribbon is bulkier.įor best effect, choose a fairly wide ribbon (I used a 3/4" ribbon) but remember that you may need to adjust your hole size if you choose a thicker or thinner ribbon. Then use a 1/4" rectangle punch to punch two slots in the stack, about 1/2" apart and 1/2" down from the top. When everything is cut and stacked, you're ready to assemble! Take one set of pages (including the vellum and card stock) and align all the top edges together. When you stack the pages all up in order, your backer piece of cardstock should be flush on the top, and stick out about 1/4" on each of the other three sides, creating a nice border. For a dreamy translucent overlay on top of the booklet, also cut a sheet of white vellum the same size as the pages.įinally, cut a piece of coordinating cardstock to a little bit larger than the booklet pages - make them 4-1/4" wide and 8-3/4" long. When everything is printed, use a good paper trimmer to cut each page into three even pieces that are 8 1/2" tall and just under 3 3/4" wide.

The template I'm sharing today can be opened up in Microsoft Word/Office and edited to create as many pages as you need for your wedding. In case you want to make your own DIY wedding program booklets, I thought you might like to see how I put mine together, and I've even got a free template to share to get your started.

Hers were a tri-fold wedding programs and mine were more of a booklet style, tied up with ribbon. For our respective weddings, Jo and I both made our own wedding programs.
