My Programs (A different take on the layered programs)

Supplies:
Paper - all of it from paperandmore.com

Pastel Green Vellum Paper 27#, 8 1/2 x 11 - for program cover
Sand Card Stock 80#, 8 1/2 x 11 - for program

Ribbon - JKM Ribbon (I used the same ribbon for my invitations)
Hole Puncher
Paper Cutter (I invested in this for a small amount of money because I used it on numerous projects like my menu’s and tags/labels)
Patience and Time smile

First I used the layered program template from this site, and altered it a bit, so that instead of layers with the sections listed below, I would have pages all the same length and a small saying (Love...the greatest gift.  Cherish...memories are made of this.  Honor...with this ring I thee wed) depending on the page.

I did a 5 page program, as I had a lot of stuff I wanted to include.  But you could easily shorten or lengthen it, depending on what you have.  (download my word doc template here)

I printed all the pages out first.  Then I cut them with the paper cutter and put them in page order.  Then, like an assembly-line, I put each program together and hole punched one at a time.

After they were all hole punched, I grabbed my ribbon, pulled it through the program and tied a knot, then cut each end.  Place in basket and another thing to cross off the list! hehee
