Today, most people design and create their own wedding program on their home computer. Thankfully, with all the other costs found within wedding planning, here is a cheap and friendly way to help guide your guests through your wedding ceremony. There are no particular Jewish requirements for a wedding program, however, without a wedding program it will be difficult for your guests to unearth the significance of any of the objects or rituals you may be using in your ceremony. Unlock that mystery for your guest and take the time to write a wedding program.
That said, even though it is not difficult to create your own program, finding the prefect wording to describe certain Jewish rituals might be. Not to worry, Ketubah Ketubah is here to help. We have taken the time to write out short paragraphs about certain wedding rituals. Feel free to cut and paste these descriptions into your own program – and get one more thing checked off your to do list.
