When it comes time to have an event where a lot of things are taking place, like a school musical, a wedding or a show, the first thing we get when we walk in the door is a program. Some event programs do a great job of listing everything that’s going to be going on, and some don’t do quite as well. Some programs are little more than a folded piece of paper and are as boring as they get. But with a little imagination and the right paper, they don’t have to be boring at all.
People who put on events want everyone in the audience to know what’s coming up. Thatway people can take part when need be, or just so they know who’s coming up on stage next. Having an event program that does that well not only gives the audience the cues they need, but also gives them a certain level of entertainment andinformation in the process.
Printing event programs is easy to do. You can get paper specifically designed for programs and download templates for your favorite word processor so you can lay it out easily. That way if you get program paper with a nice border or with an interesting fold pattern, you don’t have to fight with the layout to make sure it’s right. These templates make it easy to place graphics, to set up text and to make sure everything looks perfect before you print them off. After you get the layout right, just hit print and in a few minutes, you’ll have made some great event programs.
The great thing about printing your own event programs, aside from the fact that it is actually fairly easy to do is the fact that they are inexpensive as well. Buying blank program paper and doing your own setup and printing costs only a few cents per program and you can make more if they’re going to be needed. This saves a lot of headaches since you do not have to send the job out to a printing company and go through the proofing process and having to wait for production.
No, event programs don’t have to be boring, nor do they have to be expensive. Check out all the great paper designs available and see what you can do to make your own. You’ll be surprised at how great they’ll be.
