Catholic Wedding Program Booklet for Nuptial Mass in the Extra-Ordinary Form

€10.49

My love for the sacred liturgy inspired me to design this marriage service and nuptial Mass booklet in the way you see it. When planning our wedding, I searched for a nuptial Mass booklet that reflected the beauty of the sacred liturgy but found nothing that matched my needs. I wanted to include the music scores for all the Mass Propers and Ordinaries to encourage active participatory and congregational singing, as well as the wedding program, to make it an all-in-one document. I also wanted to incorporate some old Catholic nuptial traditions that are almost not in use today, such as beginning the wedding service with the Veni Creator (Invocation to the Holy Spirit), and ending with the Te Deum (Hymn of Thanksgiving).  Not only did I want to add them to my wedding, but also to allow other individuals to experience the beauty of these traditions, and so be inspired to do the same.

I believe that the Mass can be one of the most effective ways of evangelizing non-Catholics during wedding occasions. So, I created one from scratch, pouring my love for the liturgy into every detail. Our guests were moved and gave encouraging comments, and soon, friends planning their own weddings asked to use our booklet. “One of the men singing in the Schola is getting married in three weeks and was very impressed with your wedding program. Do you have a Word document or something he might be able to get from you?” said our organist! This was the testimony that led us to make our wedding booklet available for other people to use.

Their enthusiasm inspired us: we could share these designs with other young couples seeking beauty for their special moments.

Note: This wedding booklet is NOT a physical product, but an instant downloadable file. You will receive the link after purchase.

BONUS: We merged the booklet with a typical wedding program, which includes the Order of Events and the Wedding Party. You’ll not need to print them separately when you download this booklet. It’s all-in-one and comprehensive.
