Programs--Check (minus assembly)

Back in March, I did a  trial to determine the best kind of glue to use for my programs. Saturday, with the assistance of my Man of Honor, I finalized the programs. On Sunday, we printed a test batch to make sure it looked as good on paper as it did on the computer. One of the fonts is a little pixelated, but it's something that only a graphic designer or myself would notice, so we decided to go with it rather than finding a new font. Yesterday I did one last trial before we printed out 125 programs. I didn't want to print a large bunch out and then realize the bottom margins were off or anything. I had nothing to worry about:

Final Program Trial
All my supplies together-program, dowels w/caps, glue & clips to hold the dowels while it dries
Final Program
All together, the measurements were perfect!

If you are ever gluing something to a dowel, chip clips are your best friend! These are cheap-o dollar store clips, but they hold the dowels in place to let the glue dry--which is actually pretty quick. I recommend having 3-4 sets so you always have a free set as you assemble. It doesn't take a long time to dry, but you want to give it a few minutes.
