Don't think I'd glance over one of my paper projects so easily. Here are the details behind the ceremony programs...
I had trouble committing to a program design. There was so much paper momentum following the save-the-dates and invitations that I wanted something equally impressive. I planned on keeping the colors and fonts the same as the invitations, but was hoping for a unique layout.
Some of the inspiration I gathered:

I debated. Twine? Ribbon? Booklet? Stitched? Folded? Accordion? Patterned covers?Not quite sure how it evolved, but here is how the design ended up:
The materials I used:
- 8 1/2 x 11 cover weight paper in pure white from Paper Source
- Tickets & Tags corner hole punch from Paper Source
- Hole punch - JoAnn Fabric
- Gray and silver brads - JoAnn Fabric
The program was printed double-sided, so each program used only 1 piece of paper. I also had the printers cut them in thirds. Unfortunately, they didn't have a drill small enough for the brads I was using, so I punched them myself and then secured the 3 sections together with a brad.
Sorry, no photos of the process. If memory serves me correctly, I was sitting on our boat the Friday night of Memorial Day weekend punching holes, affixing brads and drinking wine from a red Solo cup. I was over documenting things.
The final product turned out satisfactory, but underwhelming. They were just kind of boring.

You sure had ambitious inspiration! I think yours turned out great though.
And boat?! On Lake Michigan? Uber jealous now... not only because you get to live in my favorite city, but you also get the enjoy one of the things I miss the most being in Colorado- BOATING! Love those summer nights on the water in Michigan... perfect.
