I am not bothering, I don't think anyone will even notice - one thing less for my list!

hey soulmate thank you, they sound lovely, i do like the idea of them but im just not sure, i was thinking maybe scrolls an just put the order of sevices no it xoxo

We had them too and they are a pain to do but lovely for us and other guests to keep after the day itself :)

They would be nice to keep, but they are an awful hassle to do, and people wouldn't even miss them. I have to do a full ceremony as most people aren't catholic, and what I wouldn't give to be able to skip the booklets! It is a lot of weight off you if you don't do them, they are far too stressful and you don't realise until you get really far into them!

Were having a civil ceremony too and having scrolls :-) so much easier to make yourself or cheaper if you want to buy them.

Hey hun, we havent decided yet. congratulations.ie where we got our invitations can do them matching our invitations design. (ours is winter crystal) Its €80 for 50 which is all i'll need as I would do one between two.

But i was looking into making them myself and I contacted this shop and they sent me this link for lovely pearlescent paper suitable for scrolls and wedding booklets.

I am waiting to meet with our minister to arrange the actual ceremony because I dont know how long it is yet but I will probably just give the order of service instead of word for word becasue I dont want them to be real long, just one page or absolute max 2.

Have you checked if your printer will print on pearlescent paper? Inkjet printers and pearlescent paper are a notoriously difficult match. I did all my own invitations but I had to steer clear from the pearlescent paper as nobody could guarantee me that the ink from my printer would actually print onto the paper. Some printers are fine, others are not. Just a heads up, in case you haven't bought the paper yet!
