I think I'm doing them, but just keeping them really simple and printing out myself.  That way I'll still get the programs, but won't be spending a ton of money to have them!

I plan on doing DIY programs.  Since I did DIY invites, I think the extra supplies will only cost me ~$7 (white card stock and vellum), so it is more a matter of effort than cost.

 

My programs (which I just made my first mock-up of yesterday), will be 1/2 of a sheet of paper (so 8.5" tall x 5.5" wide, thus cutting costs) and will be 4 layers thick tied together by navy blue ribbon.  Navy is one of my colors and I have been using this ribbon on the invites and on all of the tags.  The layers will be a top layer of vellum printed with our wedding logo, second layer will be white card stock with the order of events for the ceremony, third layer is also white card stock with the bridal party, fourth layer will be unprinted light blue card stock.  Light blue is our other color and was used for the invites and as a backing for all of the tags.  The white card stock layers will be cut smaller to see the light blue around them.

Sorry I don't have a picture of the final product, but hopefully you can picture it.

I am not going to do them. I did order fans & will put them on the seats.

Whenever I go to a wedding I throw out the programs plus I am not having that many guests. Figured it would be a waste.  I would rather spend the money on oot items & favors or whatever.

But of course after seeing this thread they all look so good but I still will probably skip it.
