Wording > Order of the Day Wording

An Order of the Day gives your family and friends a memento of your special day. They are often used for Civil Ceremonies where the preceeding are perhaps a little less formal. They provide an outline of the days events.

> Typeface
As with Orders of Service, our Order of the Day designs have a fixed standard typeface (similar to the text on this page) for the body of the service text. However the title page ( the part has the venue and bridal couples names) can often be printed in a typeface to match the rest of the stationery.

> Running Order
Because an Order of the Day tends to be used for non-religious ceremonies they are usually shorter than an Order of Service and the text will fit comfortably on 4 printed sides. The front page of the insert will cover the wedding details, the next 3 will cover the running of the day from your guest's arrival to their exit. Since you have 4 printed sides of an insert included in the price you may want to use them all to provide your guests with all the written detail of your day. For example.
Page 1 (front cover of Insert) - Wedding Details
Page 2 - Order of the Day
Page 3 - Order of Ceremony
Page 4 - Menu

Whilst it can be a good idea to include the menu details as well they should not really be used as a replacment for printed Menus at your wedding breaksfast. Orders of the Day are handed out to guests as they arrive at your wedding. They can get left around or lost in a handbag by the time it comes to your wedding breakfast.
