Personalize church notebook for weddings

A church notebook for the wedding - what belongs in it?

If your ecclesiastical wedding want to give a personal touch, it makes sense to design a church booklet yourself. In this way, you not only inform the congregation about the course of the service, but can also include song texts, thanks and the like.

The course of the service should be given in every church booklet wedding be included. This is particularly useful for guests who come from other communities or from abroad. Even those who are not familiar with the conduct of a divine service can follow the liturgy better in this way.

The second most important point in the church notebook is the song lyrics. As a bridal couple, you can choose the songs yourself or together with the pastor. It is especially nice if you print not only the lyrics but also the notes for the melody. If you can read notes, you have the opportunity to sing along, even if you don't know the song beforehand.

In addition to some fixed components of the service, such as the entry of the bride and groom, the wedding ceremony including the ring exchange and the wedding sermon, there is still space for in the church booklet surprises. If there is a musical lecture that the bride and groom do not know anything about, only the note "Music" can be noted at certain points in the process. Then everyone knows that a performance is coming, but nothing is revealed. If, on the other hand, the artist and the title of the work are known, both can be noted accordingly.

Tips for personalizing the church notebook

A personally designed church booklet for the wedding is more than a program booklet that lists the individual items in the service. You can get particularly creative on the title page. A nice photo of the bride and groom, a picture of the church in which the wedding takes place or another freely designed motif of your choice is suitable. It is also nice to provide the names of the bride and groom with beautiful lettering and to note the place and date of the wedding day as well as the wedding saying.

Apart from the contents of the church notebook, the outer frame also plays an important role: the choice of paper alone can lead to big differences. Simple 80 gram plain paper certainly fulfills its purpose, since the content counts first and foremost. However, paper weighing 100 or 120 grams, which is a good choice for a church notebook, is more stable and firm. If you like it noble, you can create your church notebook from fine handmade paper. This is of course more expensive than other types of paper, but it looks particularly elegant.

The format of a church notebook usually corresponds to a DIN A5 brochure. You need around four pages for the content, although the scope can of course be larger depending on personal preferences. When choosing the font and size, keep in mind that the words must first and foremost be legible. Ornate and too small font looks nice, but can be a hindrance.

Designing a church notebook is generally not a difficult task. However, there are many decisions involved in working out it, so it is best to start planning your wedding early. If, however, in the end everything looks the way you imagined, the church notebook is a wonderful reminder of a hopefully equally wonderful wedding.
