Hi Michelle,

Thanks so much for your comments and for visiting Merriment!

To answer your question I technically had 8 layers sewn in my program:

1. Front name label
2. Folded cardstock outside (counts as two layers)
3. Five pages (single sided) of Paper Source luxe text weight program

I recommend practicing with the actual front name label weight and
outside cardstock …testing a couple different options for the five
program pages. You shouldn’t ruin your machine but you likely will go
through a pack of needles.

I made 75 programs. It really didn’t take too long assembling …I’d
say a couple evenings tops …printing the pages on my slow as honey
ink jet printer took the most time. Chunk it up by printing everything
one night, cutting everything another, get your fiance to help you
stack them, then sew them.

Hope that helps! I’d love to post a photo of your program and other
wedding crafts when you’re finished. Take close-up photos and send
them along :)

How thrilled was I when I googled sew wedding programs and found this post! Your programs were my exact inspiration!

My question: When you say you had five pages do you mean you had three pages (six front and back) and the cover? I’m worried that I’m going to need more pages than this and I don’t want to ruin my sewing machine.

How many programs did you make? How long did the sewing process take?

Any tips would help!
