Assembling Your Fans
Assembling your fans will take a bit of time, especially if you're having a large wedding. Plan to start working on them well ahead of time, or ask the bridesmaids to come over and help.
Supplies
- Your printed fans
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Scissors or a craft knife and cutting mat
- Craft sticks (suggestions linked in directions)
- Basket (optional)
Directions
- After printing your programs, carefully cut out each fan with sharp scissors or a craft knife. Try to keep the curved edges as smooth as possible so your programs look professionally made.
- Use a hot glue gun to attach wavy craft sticks to the back of the programs to use as handles. You can also use jumbo craft sticks if you prefer, but it's best to avoid using popsicle sticks because they don't offer as much gluing space and stability.
- Store the programs in a pretty wicker basket that they can be distributed from at your wedding site.
More Fan-Shaped Program Options
If you're still searching for the perfect design, one of the following sites may have what you need.
- Aylee Bits: This site offers a free printable program that collapses like a real fan, but you also have the option to order them made by the company. The program details are printed on the individual pieces of the fan, and all the pieces are joined at the bottom with an eyelet, ribbon, or brad.
- Absorbent, Ink.: This site has a large variety of fan designs to offer, and prices start around $1.30 per 125 fans with full-color printing on both sides of the fan. Just click on any fan you like for full details and pricing on larger orders.
- Beau-coup: You'll find some very simple yet attractive fans that the company will customize with your order at Beau-coup. The fans measure just over 11" x 7", and you can choose to have plastic or wooden handles, or go with no handles at all and just tie ribbons onto the fans. The cost runs between $28 and $32 for a set of 25, and there is a minimum purchase of four sets required. There is also a $138 set up fee for the custom printing.
