I've never been to a civil ceremony with an order of service.
Do you mean an order of the day?

An order of service is normally for a church wedding.

Never heard of anyone having one for a civil ceremony x

Bride2be24

its an order of the day for a civil ceremony, we are also having a civil x

If that is what you want though OP, then it can just be something quite simple - like this http://www.lovelyinvitations.co.uk/Order%20of%20Day.jpg
jazz it up with borders and embellishments if you want, but that is the information that the guests will need.

Erm why cant u have an order of service for a civil.... I am!
We're still having a ceremony, so why not tell the guests what order it will be in! We're still having readings etc

I'm also having a seperare order of day so people know whats happening when.

Order of service means the list of prayers and hymns of a church service, for a wedding or funeral.

A civil ceremony can't contain anything religious, so 'order of service' isn't used for that. Like the others have said, it's normally then called an 'order of the day'.

I'd check with your registrar too that you can have that wording.

Hi, the details sent by our registrar have 'order of service', sorry if i have confused everyone. But yep I want it to contain our readings and song choices, so no different to church, apart from its not religious.....?!

It'll be an order of the day then won't it, to contain what's happening at certain times?

Order of service would be for the service/ceremony, but you don't want yours to just contain the info for the ceremony do you?
