Catholic Wedding Program Template
Catholic wedding programs follow the Order of Celebrating Matrimony: within Mass or outside Mass, with the Liturgy of the Word, the Questions before the Consent, the Consent and the Nuptial Blessing. Give the couple’s readings, music and wedding party, and the assistant lays out a dignified program.
How it works
- 1
Tell us your church
Denomination, name, town and website. Optional: last week’s bulletin.
- 2
The assistant researches and builds
It reads your website, saves your service times, staff and photos, and lays out the issue: usually 2 to 4 minutes.
- 3
Review, refine, print
Ask for changes in plain words. Download the PDF and the Word file. Next week: “this week’s bulletin”.
Made by the assistant
What you get
- Within Mass or outside Mass, in the right order
- First Reading, Psalm, Second Reading and Gospel as the couple chose them (references)
- Celebrant, readers, musicians and wedding party
- A note for guests on when to sit, stand and receive Communion
A note for non-Catholic guests
Many couples include a short, kind note explaining that Catholics who are prepared receive Communion and that everyone is welcome to come forward for a blessing or remain in prayer. The assistant adds it on request in your parish’s wording.
Questions
Can the parish office make it for couples?
Yes, in minutes from the wedding planning sheet.
Can it include the readings in full?
For English and Spanish weddings, ask and it will print the chosen readings; it uses references by default.
