Hey everyone, I'm hoping you may be able to help me!
I've seen order of service things that people have for their ceremony - do I need one? And if so, what do I need to put in it?? xx

You don't have to have one. I've been to weddings where they had them and others where they didn't. As Nickers already said it's your choice really. Also depends on what info you're putting in. We're having an order of our day as the service photographs and reception are all in the same venue. so inside will be a piccie of us 2 from an engagement shoot with a few words thanking everyone for coming. I'm going to list who's who of the main people involved and write down the bits of the service. Maybe a thank you page so people know who has helped with what (although these people will be thanked int he speeches anyway) x

I think they're more appropriate for church weddings. If everyone has a rough idea of where they need to be when, you could probably get away with not having one. If you have info people need to know about how the day is planned out then they can be useful. :)

You dont have to its just up to personal choice, we are just due to being married in a cathedral were having hyms etc so thought it would be handy.x
In a church service they are pretty essential as you have to include all the hymns and the prayers etc. In a civil ceremony it is up to you, you can have a simple one with who is doing a reading and the title of it plus details of what is going to happen after the ceremony re: photographs and drinks and wedding breakfast etc. But like all the other ladies have said it is totally your choice.

Hmm we're having a civil ceremony and H2B doesn't seem too keen on them, just said its another expense..which I suppose he is right. We're going to the venue next month to run through the day, I'm hoping I'll come away knowing more about the actual ceremony cos I have no idea what actually happens...sound bad don't I!

No you don't have to. I was prepared to make ours but at the meeting with out vicar just before christmas he said that if we chose hymns they have in their hymns books then we don't have to do them as they are already there.
At first I was a bit disappointed as I was looking forward to making them and for the guests to keep them. But now its quite a relief to be honest, dont have to worry bout making them now :) was thinking about doing a keepsake bookmark with a overview of the service (eg. bridal entrance, vows, this hymn title, that hymn title, signing of register...etc.) instead for them to put in the hymn book. But I don't even know if thats worth the hassle! x

They're not a necessity. We didn't get married in a church but we had a minister - but we didn't bother with one (but we didn't have hymns or anything).
CommentAuthorgemmaandbilly
It depends really on whether you are having a church wedding or a civil ceremony really. For church its mainly (if you are having hymns) a way of giving the guests the words to sing. Some churches will provide a service where they will provide them for a fee usually around £35 ish but they are just photocopies black and white usually so i think it really depends if you are having a church ceremony, whether you want everything uniformed to your theme and if you want guests to have a memento to keep. Its nice for bridal party and readers etc to keep if their names are in them. Hope this helps!

We were advised by the vicar to have one as it saves peopl finding the right pages for the hymns and they can follow the service but, obviously, it's in a church! xx
