The importance of the wedding order of service

The wedding invitations have been sent out, the dress is organised and you’ve decided on the perfect wedding cake to match the entire theme of your day.

But something which cannot be overlooked is the wedding order of service. Although you might assume that the wedding day will simply happen as you want it to, there is a certain amount of scheduling and fine tuning which needs to be done and the wedding order of service is the perfect way to begin this.

The main aim of the order of service is to let your guests know what is happening at each stage of the day. It can also act as a welcome reminder to the bride and groom as well when their heads are all fuzzy with stress and emotion.

As the guests enter the venue where you will be saying your vows, the order of service should be presented to them. This way, they can be sure that they won’t miss anything crucial in the service. And if they are required to take part in the service, it tells them when their time in the spotlight will happen.

You can either give them a complete guide to the service, including the words spoken during the ceremony, or you can opt for a more basic wedding order of service.
