Use Large Fonts: For grandparents or those with poor vision who may be in attendance, be mindful of the fonts you use. While some fonts are beautiful, they might be too small to see for some. Use Legible Fonts: Save fancy cursive and scripts for place cards or wedding signage. Wedding program wording should be easy to read in a legible font type. Order Extras: A good rule of thumb is to order 5 to 10 extra programs in case spills happen or the wind picks up.
However, some guests might take an extra copy to show to friends or family, or take as a keepsake, so always order more than you think you will need. Will they be positioned at each chair? Handed out by groomsmen?

The Minted Design Challenge We uncover design genius through ongoing design competitions. Libation Offering for the Ancestors A libation is a sacred communal ritual, used in traditional African life. The libation begins with an invocation to invite everyone to participate, followed by an introduction where ancestors, elders and family members may be named.
The supplication asks God for good wishes, and the conclusion ends by sending the spirits home and thanking participants and praying that they leave more blessed than when they came.
Like the wine in a communion, liquids used in libation are symbolic of the ancestral spirits. Tasting of the Herbs Marriage does not promise a state of euphoria or peace on a daily basis. Traditionally, the bride and groom participate in a tasting of the four elements of life — bitter, sweet, sour, and hot — as well as water to cleanse the palate, as a way of demonstrating the fullness of experience that each married couple will come to know over time.
Jumping the Broom Minister: We end this ceremony with the African American tradition of jumping of the broom. As our bride and groom jump the broom, they physically and spiritually cross the threshold into the land of matrimony.
Traditionally, jumping the broom was also a means of sweeping away all negative energy, making way for all things that are good to come into your lives. It is also a call of support for the marriage from the entire community of family and friends.
In honoring the ritual, Bride and Groom issue a hope and a prayer of sweeping away any hatred or prejudice between people of different colors, beliefs or traditions. The bride and groom will now begin their new life together with a clean sweep!
One of the attendants then hands the broom to the groom, who makes sweeping gestures to eliminate any negative energies. The groom then hands the broom to the bride, who places it on the ground in their path. Minister: Everyone count 1, 2, Saved Items 0 Your have not saved any items yet.
