We will work in consultation with you and will proceed with printing your booklets only when you are totally satisfied with the layout and happy for us to do so ... we offer a very flexible personalised service.
Content
The content is different for each wedding ceremony ... we design and typeset each booklet from scratch.
We advise couples to agree the text in consultation with their celebrant, or to have the text approved by the celebrant, prior to submitting it to us.
At your wedding ceremony you want your family and friends to participate in, and experience, the event rather than spend their time reading. Our advice is to "keep it simple" ... include the sections which are personal to you ... your chosen readings; your marriage vows; etc. and name other parts without including all the text.
We will, of course, include everything you wish in your booklet as it is your booklet and your choice.
How to submit your text
You may submit your text as a Word document either as an email attachment or on disc
If this is not possible we will accept hard copy [a typing service fee applies].

The font styles and colours will be agreed with you and we will carry out your wishes.
