This is taking forever!!!! It took me a whole year to get them perfect and then I figure I will make one and then bring it to a printer. Well, they can't make copies of them because of the color combos. My options were to change them or start printing 100 of them at home. Well I chose option #2

I have to first print the front and then run them back through for the inside. I hope people will appreciate them

The program is the second thing people will see for your wedding (invites are first). On the day of, the programs will help to set the tone and provide excitement for the beautiful union about to happen before them.

It will all be worth it when you're done!!! Besides, it is a great thing to put in a scrapbook for your daughter to see someday.

They will be beautiful and you will be proud of them. Keep your chin up and good luck!!!!!

The only thing that really stinks that I have to do 2 at a time because my printer sucks all the paper in at a time if there is more then 2!!!!! And then some of them print out crooked. Good thing I bought 200 sheets

OMG!! YOU READ MY MIND!!! I brought my template to KINKOS tonight and it's costing me $258 to have them all run off---it's a collage of color pictures on the front and one on the back---oh well it'll be beautiful!!!!

KEEP THE FAITH!! LOL

Ok. It took me 4 hours but I finished them!!! I ended up making 100. I still have paper left so maybe during the week I will print up about 25 more. My FI seems to think 75 would have been enough. I hope more then75 people come to our ceremony
