Orders of service designed and printed by a Glasgow designer

Orders of service for funerals, weddings, memorials and christenings: folded A5 sheets, card and stapled booklets, with memorial bookmarks, thank-you cards and signs for the venue. Upload your own artwork or have me design it. I check every file before it’s printed, and every price includes delivery anywhere in the UK.

Order of service printing prices

An order of service is often needed quickly, especially for a funeral, and every name and date has to be right. Printing takes 3–4 working days once the proof is approved, and tracked delivery usually arrives the next working day, so allow about a week. Every format here starts at 25 copies, so you only order the number you need.

What to include

What goes in an order of service

The front cover
For a funeral, the name, the dates of birth and death, often a photograph, and the place and time of the service. For a wedding, your names, the date and the venue.
The running order
Each part of the service in order, from the music at the start to the music at the end, with the readings, hymns, tribute or vows in between and the name of each person taking part.
The words to join in with
Hymns, songs and prayers printed in full. They take the most room, so they decide whether a folded sheet is enough or you need an 8 or 12 page booklet.
The back page
A thank-you from the family or the couple, and where everyone goes next: the reception, the wake or the committal, with any donation details.

FAQ

01

How much does order of service printing cost?

Orders of service start from £40, with UK delivery included and no VAT to add. The price list above shows a typical order for each format, and each product page lists every size, paper and quantity with its price.

02

How quickly can you print an order of service for a funeral?

Printed in 3–4 working days once your artwork is approved, then delivered by tracked courier. The courier usually delivers the next working day after printing, so allow about a week from approving the proof. If the service is sooner than that, get in touch before you order and I’ll tell you honestly whether it can be done in time.

03

How many pages does an order of service need?

A folded A5 sheet gives 4 pages: a cover, two inside pages for the running order and readings, and a back page. That suits most services. If you’re printing the words of several hymns, or want more photographs, an 8 or 12 page booklet gives you the room.

04

How many should we order?

One for every guest, or one per couple, plus 10 or so spare for people who arrive late and for the family to keep. If you’re not sure how many will come, round up: the price per copy falls as the quantity goes up.

05

Can you design the order of service?

Yes. Design starts from £125 for a folded order of service and £175 for a booklet. Send me the running order, the words of any hymns and readings, and the photographs you’d like to use. I’ll lay it out and send you a proof, so you can check every name and date before anything is printed.

06

Can we use our own artwork?

Yes. Upload a print-ready PDF when you order. A folded A5 order of service is supplied flat as A4, with 3mm bleed on every edge and text kept away from the fold. I check every file before it’s printed and tell you if anything needs fixing.
