Order of Service help please

Baz183, 19 November, 2009 at 13:19 Posted on Planning 0 5

Hi

We're due to meet with our vicar next week and once we have I'd like to make a start on making our orders of service. Just wondered if any of you could help with some examples please.

Also, any suggestions for music to walk in and out to would be gratefully received. We've picked two hymns to sing during the service, is that enough? What about a reading, should we have one (we weren't going to)?

TIA

    When we went to meet the vicar I asked him about the order or service and he gave me a couple of old ones from previous wedding to work from.

    Our vicar said we had to have two readings so you might have to ask him about that. And at least one of ours must be from the bible and if one isnt then he wants to approve it first. I dont think you have to have anyone particular read them if you dont want to, i think if you prefer the vicar will read them from the bible and build them in.

    Thanks Moya. We weren't having readings purely because I couldn't find anyone who felt comfortable speaking but if I can ask the vicar to read them that's great.

    Thanks that's really kind of you. I may take you up on the offer if our vicar doesn't have any we can borrow. We're seeing her next Thursday so i'll let you know.

    Thanks

    I've saved a few examples of orders of service on my website here: http://www.instantforever.com/Order_of_service_examples.html

    There's also some readings to have a look at (and other useful info): http://www.instantforever.com/poems_readings_vows_guest_information_sheet.html

    Can't help with the music suggestions though as we had a civil service...
