I know many of you did your programs yourselves..and I know you can use regular paper and then fold it..my question is..how do you know how thick the paper should be..or does that matter? Also, would I buy 11.5 X 8? Im totally lost on this and have spent hours online tyring to find programs that I like..I just want simple..someone FM'd me beautiful programs and I printed it up and now I cant find it..it was white I think..had a ribbon around it..what kind of paper was that? HELP ME ANYONE!!! PLEASE!!!

I think you can use regular copy paper for the programs formatted for landscape printing. If there is a graphic on the cover you could use matte photo paper for the cover page.

Re: programs...I need some good advice for a dumb question...
you can use 67 lb. paper.. abd then use a ruler to score the paper into 3 sections, then fold the paper and then tie a ribbon around it..
OR..
you can buy the paper at staples..
I have to make my own b/c I need ivory and no one sells ivory tri-fold paper =(

I'm using 80lb card stock for the cover. . .then I'm using 1 sheet of vellum and bright white photo paper for the rest.
Here's the cover paper:
Oh yeah, I had the paper scored at Kinko's.

Re: programs...I need some good advice for a dumb question...
I am planning on making ours myself, and the format I am playing with is the legal size cardstock, the paper is longer than 8x11 (I think its 8x14). I will fold that into thirds, and hold together with ribbon. I am going to start them as soon as we finalize our readings.

Re: programs...I need some good advice for a dumb question...
Thanks for the compliment!
I actually didn't use a hole puncher at all. I just tied it around the paper sort of tightly so that it won't slip off.
And ladies . . .DON'T BE NERVOUS! I don't have a creative bone in my body . . . well, that is . . .until I started looking through some of these threads! YOU CAN DO IT!
