Our programs are done and I'm pleased with how they turned out. Originally I was going to have them made. I found a vendor on Etsy that wound up not working out (because I'm pretty sure this girl was NOT legit and I wasn't about the send her $200...sometimes you just get the feeling that something isn't quite right). We did go to a local shop and learned that for what we wanted, our programs would cost around $250. We were fine with this, however I thought I could do it myself and have them exactly as I wanted (because I'm a control freak and all) and save money in the process.
I bought a kit of blank programs from Michaels along with a stamp for the cover and ribbon. We typed up everything at home and had it printed at Kinko's for $100. Then I assembled them myself, punching holes and adding ribbon. It was a big undertaking, but we wound up saving about $100.
I picked up a couple of baskets at Michael's and that was that. It took several hours to get everything together, but it was well worth the time.
oooh my goodness gracious CONGRATULATIONS! i'm sure it felt like forever to get here but yay! the programs turned out great! i know what you mean...it's scary to be sending so much money to a random stranger! scary scary!
