Thanks so much! <\/p>\n<h1>Weddings by Shayna<\/h1>\n<p>The ceremony program is most useful for guests to understand who is attending and participating in the wedding. It would be logical (and in this case, probably helpful) to just include those who will be seated specially during the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Or, you could include a couple of lines somewhere else in the program saying that the bride and groom are grateful for the support of those who could not attend, including (list grandparents).
