Hi, we did our wedding programs with WORD and I used ink jet paper. On the front side of the paper I put a picture and their names, date, time, location on the right side, on the left, I had a thank you from the bride and groom to various people for special items and a thank you for all attending, then the words to a favorite song. On the inside I listed the order of service and people in the wedding, I divided it onto two sides using 2 columns since I folded the paper in half. Here is the inside of mine:
Prelude .............."Theme from Romeo and Juliet"

I agree with Party Music that the buffet line should be on both sides of table & have soup, corn, then stew,(do they make it with flatbread or will they be already put together? I haven't had that so don't know how it's done.. Drinks I always prefer to be in 1 area ,not main food table as a spill can really slow things down. Cake table- cake,forks, napkins & maybe couple of small containers of flowers, any canoes available?? How about a couple of child sized moccasins. Make them out of felt & bead on the front of them(glue or sew on) put a plastic container in where foot should go with low arrangement of fall flowers. Your idea of memories or quotes is good, make that a game where you pass out rough paper in rawhide or beige color & ask them to write something for bride & groom would need pens or pencils to write with but advice, favorite memory about couple or "how to get through the net 25 yrs" would be fun & interesting memory of the party. Only thought is be sure things are pretty secure in case of wind, would heat be a problem, might consider a tarp or 2 to shade some areas if you have trees or house you can anchor them on. Home Depot has brown ones that are nice & last quite well. Also have beige colored 6 ft wide shade cloth that can be anchored with long high wires to higher trees or close to roof so have some shade. It's sold in rolls 100 ft long or shorter 6 ft by 20 ft long. smaller rolls are $29. I think, I shade parts of my yard & makes a big difference. Sounds like a fun party!

I agree about asking your music people about what they recommend. Also, if you are getting married in a church, ask if there are any restrictions on the music which the church will make. I think too you are expecting entrances and such to take longer than they will. So you won't need all that many songs. General seating - determine about how many pews it will take to seat the groom's people, and how many the bride's. Divide that by two. The first rows of the groom's side ought to have groom's people. Then fill in the remaining with bride's. Or, don't worry about which side is which and just seat most people wherever. All in all it is dreary to see half the pews filled with the other half empty. Your proposed seating plan for grandmothers and step-grandmothers seems awkward at best. If it seems like it will work, great, but it probably wouldn't be my first instinct. I'd have candleabras lit well before the family candles. Candleabras are just set decoration, while family candles are symbolic and should be lit closer to the ceremony.

How about a wreath ceremony - it isn't a reading exactly, but it's a ceremony involving the symbolism of various botanicals. I love it (although I haven't decided as of yet which things to use for the wreath) I'm definitely going to do this. Here is a link that might be useful: Wreath Ceremony

at the church before the ceremony

I got dressed at church, bcs I didn't want to wrinkle the dress, etc. I gave myself about 45 minutes--my friend who got dressed at the church gave herself about an hour. Too much longer, and I'd have gone nuts w/ anxiety. I ended up cutting it a little bit close, but not too bad. I had less "standing around all dressed up waiting for it to be time" anxiety than my friend did. We brought a suitcase to stuff our day clothes in. I asked a bridesmaid or someone else to run it out to the car and stick it in the trunk shortly before the ceremony. My friend left her stuff in the room, and her mom scooped it up and put it in the suitcase & car after the ceremony; we could lock that room, and we weren't very worried. (I would never ask someone I loved to stay in the room during the ceremony, and miss the most important part!) At the end of the day, the groom lugged the suitcase into the house or the hotel. My intended was adamant about not seeing me in the dress beforehand, which I sort of liked. But other people don't bother--and us insisting on not seeing each other before the ceremony meant my hair was a little mussed at group-portrait time, and we couldn't do portraits in the studio.

And please do spell check carefully. I once saw a wedding ceremony program that said the music was "Cannon in D" by "Paco Bell" - I guess they didn't know a canon from a cannon or Pachelbel from Taco Bell.
