Wedding Day Itinerary Sample

Do you plan to include an itinerary in your wedding invitation package? We did, for a few reasons. Perhaps you will, too. 

• Because our wedding ceremony and reception were going to be held in one location, and we didn't want any confusion about that.
• Because it was a day wedding, and we wanted our guests to know what to expect.
• Because it was a buffet dinner, and we wanted our guests to be aware of the food options.
• Because we chose the Elks Club for our wedding venue, and we wanted our guests to know that "Elks" doesn't mean show up in your jeans and trucker hat! (Yes - I attended a wedding once where we were seated by some fellows in trucker hats. It happens.)
• Because we love our wedding band, and wanted to give them a little shout of appreciation/get people excited about their music.
• Because we wanted our guests to know the options for getting together after the wedding reception ended at 5 pm.
