A4 Order of Service Printing in Croydon and London

Some days mean more than others, If it's the joyful buzz of a wedding morning or the quiet reflection of a farewell. Those moments deserve something thoughtful to hold. That's where an A4 Order of Service comes in. It's more than just a programme, it's a way to guide people through the day, set the tone, and offer a little keepsake they'll take home and tuck away.

At I You Print, based right here in Croydon, we've been helping people across London and the UK print custom A4 Order of Service booklets for years. If you're after a wedding service booklet, a funeral tribute, or a ceremony guide for something unique, we'll help you get the details just right.

Why A4?

Choosing A4 gives you more room to work with. It's especially handy for longer ceremonies with hymns, readings, or photos. If you've got lots to include, like a detailed wedding party intro or lyrics for congregational singing, A4 gives you more space. It also feels a little more formal and substantial than A5, making it a lovely keepsake.

Every event is different. That's why we give you complete control over how your A4 booklet is made, from paper type to lamination and binding style. Here's a breakdown of your options so you can build a booklet that feels completely yours.

Lamination Options

Add Texture and Durability

Lamination adds a bit of strength and gives the cover a smoother feel. It adds a bit of protection and finish. Here are a few types you can choose from:

• No Lamination – A good option, if you want something plain or eco-friendly.
• Gloss Lamination (Single or Double Sided) – Makes the cover shiny and smooth. Works well if you've used lots of photos or bold colours.
• Matt Lamination (Single or Double Sided) – Has a soft, smooth feel without the shine. Looks tidy and not too flashy.
• Soft Touch Lamination (Single or Double Sided) – This one feels a bit like velvet. It's what most couples pick for premium A4 service programmes and luxury wedding booklets in London.

If your event's outside or you think the booklets will get handled a lot, laminated covers hold up better.

Binding Edge

Long Edge or Short Edge

Your binding edge choice subtly changes the feel and function of the booklet:

• Long Edge Bound – Like a magazine or brochure. Easy to hold open and ideal for more traditional layouts.
• Short Edge Bound – A bit more modern and interesting. It gives your booklet a landscape-style feel and stands out from the crowd.

Both are neatly stapled and professionally finished, with clean folds and strong spines.

• Same Day Express – Perfect for last-minute ceremonies or unexpected events.

Paper Stock

Feel the Difference

The feel of your booklet starts with the paper. From lightweight pages to thicker covers, you've got a full range to choose from:

• 90gsm Uncoated – Lightweight and natural.
• 115gsm Silk – Smooth, semi-glossy finish.
• 120gsm Uncoated – Slightly thicker.
• 130gsm Gloss – Photo-rich pages and bold colour layouts.
• 150gsm Silk – Smooth and elegant.
• 170gsm Silk or Uncoated – Heavier stock.

We recommend silk or gloss for wedding booklets, and uncoated stocks for funeral or church A4 service booklets in Croydon.

Embellishments

Add a special touch

Embellishments are not a must, but they do make a difference if you're going for something people might want to keep.

• Spot UV (High or Low Build, One or Both Sides) – You can pick certain bits, like names or a logo, and we add a shiny layer just to those. You'll feel the texture when you touch it. Looks great, especially under light.
• Gold Foil (One Side Only) – Adds that classic gold look. Warm, rich, and traditional. People love this one for weddings or big family events.
• Silver Foil (One Side Only) – Bit more modern. Shiny but cooler in tone. Works well with simple designs or black-and-white pages.

These touches, foiling and UV don't just make the booklet look better, they make it feel like something worth keeping. A little extra, but it goes a long way.

Cover Options

Protect and Impress

Your cover sets the tone before anyone even opens the booklet. Choose from lighter paper for subtlety or thicker card for durability and impact:

• 90gsm to 170gsm – Light to medium paper.
• 250gsm Silk or Uncoated – Thicker and stronger.
• 350gsm Silk – Our thickest and best.

Many clients choose to laminate their 250gsm or 350gsm covers for added durability and a polished look.

Number of Pages

8 to 72 Pages

Whether you need just a few pages for a quick ceremony, or a full programme with photos, hymns, readings, and thank-you notes, we've got you covered:

• 8pp – Ideal for simple ceremonies or short services.
• 12–24pp – Good for most weddings and funerals.
• 36–72pp – Perfect for memorial books, tributes, or full-service guides.

All our A4 service booklets are neatly saddle-stitched and trimmed to perfection.
