South Asian ceremonies can last up to four hours and often the guests attending are not familiar with the rituals involved. At times, the wedding can be difficult to follow. Wedding programs are an important piece of South Asian weddings, since they guide guests through the ceremony, making them feel more comfortable and included.
In addition to explaining the religious ceremony, programs can be used to introduce the bridal party, thank friends and family and provide directions to the reception. A program is also a great opportunity to add personal touches to the special day. For example, you can design your program to match your wedding theme or include a quote that is meaningful to you and your new husband.
South Asian wedding programs can be a cumbersome task, and many brides don’t know where to start. To help our South Asian Brides, CitySaheli has prepared some sample programs. Make sure to review your program with your priest, since there can be variations for each type of ceremony.
