I am trying to complete my wedding program, and I am stuck on the acknowledgements section. I know for sure that I will include a statement mentioning our loved ones who have passed on, and we will also thank our parents and our loved ones who have come to share our special day with us. Now my question is, are we supposed to thank our vendors? I read some place that you are only supposed to thank your vendors if they are family or close friends of yours. Would you ladies please clear this issue up for me:) I have a separate page labeled "Wedding Party," where I list all members of the wedding party, so I don't need to mention them again in this section correct? Thanks ladies!
-Our deceased loved ones
-My Pastor (even though he was also listed in the Wedding Party section)
-Soloist (who also happens to be our Minister of Music
-Caterer
-Videographer
-Photographer
-DJ
-Wedding music coordinator
and I also put a special thank you to all of our family and friends
-Wedding Music coordinator
Thanks Soon. Are the vendors that you acknowledged family/friends? The only vendors of ours who are family/friends are the coordinator and photographer, so I am planning on acknowledging them. Our officiant is my FH's uncle, so we should probably include him again in this section as well.
Alrighty, thanks Soon. Just trying to complete this last part of my program so that I can negin to print them out and start the lovely assembling process!
We acknowledge all of our vendors including Bridal & tux shops. They worked hard with us, put up with all our changes and unscheduled drop ins, all the while making us feel like OUR day was just as important to them. Since they did such a great job with us, I didn't mind acknowledging them for helping us look so good. After the wedding, I even sent them all a copy of program with a thank you card.
"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
Oh Tiffy, I acknowledged Alfred Angelo & Al's Formalwear also...
and I am REALLY feeling you on the assembly issue...I have been trying to find a place (Staples/Kinkos) who will hole punch the programs for me so I can just tie the ribbons, but noone seems to do that type of work :( so I guess that will be part of my weekend project...
Same here. My bridal party is scattered across the country, so unfortunately I cannot call on them for help! I'm down here in Atl with no family in site. My FMIL and FSIL, and one of my BM's are down here, so I may call on them for a weekend gathering of program assembling!!
That's what we did. Acknowledged everyone that had a part in the wedding -- we didn't want to leave anyone out who was responsible for helping to make our dream wedding come true.
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
I am getting ready to start working on my programs in the near future and i cant seem to find a nice paper for them. My flower theme is roses and my theme is diamonds and pearls. any suggestions on websites or something that i should go to? i like this one but my mother doesnt because the little girl is alone.
I have no intention on thanking my vendors on my wedding programs. I may mention them on my wedding website, but that will be it. I have decided not to mention anything about our ancestory's how have passed away either, because this is a time of joy, and I dont want anyone feeling sad on my day. I will however thank Pastor, wedding coordinator, and all who has helped us prepare for this special day

Ain't nothing wrong with that House...You're paying them already! They need a shout-out too?
I am saying this to say that its important to do what's important to you....I made an attempt, but once I ran out of room, then that was it...So to me it wasn't a big deal...Protocol schmotocol! I thought it was Your day, your way! Heeeyyyy!
