Order of Service
Designing Your Perfect Order of Service
An order of service is an A5 booklet that guides guests through the ceremony. It outlines the itinerary, order of events, and words to hymns or prayers. Beyond being a simple guide, this booklet becomes a cherished keepsake, so its design and content deserve careful attention.
Planning Your Order of Service Content
Start by listing everything you want to include in your order of service. If your booklet features hymns, double-check the versions and spelling. Remember that most spell checkers default to American English, so switch to UK English to avoid errors. Verify all details such as times, dates, and venue information to ensure accuracy.
Cover Design Tips
The cover should clearly display the event name, venue, and time. This simple information acts as a meaningful reminder for those who keep the order of service as a memento. Use high-quality images to enhance the booklet’s overall look. Avoid blurry or low-resolution photos, and if you’re using smartphone images, always select the highest quality setting.
Inside the Booklet
Include the full running order of events inside the booklet. To encourage guest participation, provide the words for hymns or prayers. If you plan to collect donations for charity, add this information as well.
Printing and Materials
Since the booklet is A5, the total page count must be divisible by four. We typically offer 4 or 8-page booklets but can customize the length to suit your needs. Our printing uses premium materials—a 350gsm silk cover and 200gsm silk inner pages—giving your order of service a luxurious feel. This ensures guests will treasure it for years to come.
