Many couples have an order of service printed for their guests which contains the words of the hymns and the headings for the key parts of the service. Many guests treasure the order of service as a reminder of the happy day.

The priest who is conducting your wedding will be happy to advise you on what to include in your order of service and you will need to ask them to check before it is printed so that they can ensure that all the necessary elements have been included and are in the right place.
