Booklet Printing for Events
Booklet printing for events of every kind: wedding programs guests keep, gala programs for the tables, festival guides for the gate and run-of-show books for the crew.
Pick your event
Weddings
A square 6 × 6 or a 5 × 7 program feels like an invitation. Add the ceremony order, readings, wedding party and a thank-you page.
Galas and benefits
A 5.5 × 8.5 program fits a place setting. Include the evening's schedule, honorees, sponsors and auction items.
Festivals
A 4 × 9 guide fits a back pocket and a brochure rack. Lineups, maps and vendor lists all fit in 12 to 24 pages.
Behind the scenes
A letter-size run-of-show keeps cues, contacts and timings in one place for staff and volunteers.

Paper that suits the moment
For a keepsake wedding program, choose a heavier cover, or go all-cardstock with a 6 × 6 all-cardstock booklet, where every page is printed on cover stock. Gloss makes photos pop in gala programs. For a run-of-show that the crew will mark up, use 70 lb or 80 lb opaque smooth paper so notes go on easily.
Tip. Leave final names and timings until last, but build the rest of the file early. Since orders placed by 12pm ship the next business day, you can send the final version close to the date.

Event booklet FAQ
How many pages should a wedding program be?
Most are 8 or 12 pages. Booklets run 8 to 96 pages in multiples of 4, and the cover counts as 4 of those pages.
Can you ship to the venue?
Yes. Enter the venue address at checkout and let the venue know a box is coming. You can also use Free Local Pickup in Brooklyn or Long Beach.
What if the event is in a few days?
Order by 12pm and it ships the next business day, proof included. UPS® Next Day Air is a paid upgrade. See delivery dates on the Fastest Turnaround page.
Can I order programs for just one wedding?
Yes. There is just a $25 minimum order, so a small run for one wedding is no problem. Prices drop as quantity goes up.
