What Is An Order Of Service"
An order of service is the order in which your wedding ceremony happens. This can be organised by you, and/or your wedding officiant. Sometimes couples like to display these via a sign, or with booklets/cards.

Do I Need An Order Of Service"
You will need an order for your ceremony, which is likely to be set out with your ceremony officiant. Once you have this running order, you can create an order of service booklet, card or sign to let guests know what’s happening and in what order. This is a great way for guests to have an understanding of your ceremony. You can also add songs, readings, members of the wedding party and personalisation to really keep guests informed.
