Order of service question

hazyclaire, 3 August, 2012 at 11:58 Posted on Planning 0 8

Hello again

Another church query from me!

How much info do we need to put on our order of service? Is it just hymns and readings or do I need to put the whole service info on there? Or will the church provide service books? Anything else that needs to go in?

Sorry for all the questions,our vicar is 100 miles away and due to holiday season we can't see him now until September to find out these things!

Thanks

    Ours emailed me a template which I just filled in and then reformatted.

    I had the wording for the hymns and readings and then just the titles of the different sections

    It was something like...

    Entrance of the Bride

    Hymn 1

    The Marriage

    Reading

    The Vows

    Hymn 2

    Recessional

    We have got everything in ours, although we have made all of ours there now like a 4 page double sided a5 booklet. When i asked the vicar about it he emailed me the service and i just changed the hymns and that. The only reason we decided to keep everything is because nearly all the people coming to our wedding are not church goers so wouldn't necessarily know when they have to say bits.

    We also had the names of the wedding party in the front and a note at the back to say that photos would be taking place in the church gardens after the ceremony.

    You can see some of the wording in this montage... I have better pictures at home.

    Thanks for the help everyone. I'm not getting very far other than the front cover! But I've just dug out some of my friends' orders of service (I always keep stuff like that) so am shamelessly copying! If anyone can recommend a website with a good template on I'd really appreciate it...
