Festival Wedding Lanyards & VIP Pass Programmes

The Ultimate All-In-One Festival Wedding Detail

If you’ve ever been to a music festival, you’ll know that one of the first things you’re handed is a lanyard or pass – your backstage access, your guide for the day, and a little keepsake you end up saving long after the weekend is over.

So why not bring that exact same festival feeling to your wedding day?

Festival Wedding VIP Lanyard Programmes have become one of our most-loved festival wedding stationery pieces, and it’s easy to see why. They’re practical, playful, completely customisable, and instantly transport your guests into festival mode the moment they arrive.

Whether your wedding is a full-blown WedFest with multiple stages and bands, or a relaxed boho celebration with tipi tents and street food, festival-style lanyards add that extra layer of fun, organisation and personality.

What Are Festival Wedding VIP Lanyards?

At their heart, festival wedding lanyards are wearable programmes – but honestly, they can be so much more than that.

Designed just like real festival passes, each lanyard usually includes:

• A fully personalised VIP pass-style programme

• A custom printed lanyard strap

• Bold, colourful, festival-inspired design to match your wedding theme

Guests wear them around their necks just like at a real festival, creating instant atmosphere and a brilliant talking point throughout the day.

A Wedding Programme… But Make It Festival

One of the most popular ways couples use VIP lanyards is as a wedding day running order / wedding programme.

Instead of a traditional folded order of service, your timeline becomes a festival-style line-up, with each part of the day listed like acts on a schedule, for example:

• 1:00pm – Gates Open (Guest arrival)

• 1:30pm – Main Stage (Wedding ceremony)

• 2:15pm – Drinks Reception (Cocktails + canapés)

• 3:30pm – Street Food Served (Festival feast!)

• 4:30pm – Speeches & Surprises

• 6:00pm – Cake Cut

• 7:30pm – First Dance

• 8:00pm – Evening Party + DJ Set

• 11:30pm – Last Orders / Carriages

Because lanyards hang comfortably around the neck, guests can easily check what’s happening next without rummaging through bags or pockets — perfect for outdoor weddings, tipi venues and festival fields.

Perfect for Multi-Stage & Multi-Event Weddings

Festival weddings often have a lot going on – and that’s part of the magic.

If your day includes:

• Live bands or DJs

• Acoustic sets

• Silent discos

• Fire pits, fireworks or late-night snacks

• Multiple areas or stages

…a festival lanyard programme is an absolute dream.

We can design your lanyards to include:

• Full music line-ups

• Stage names and timings

• Activity schedules

• Food truck times

• Evening entertainment details

It turns your wedding into a proper festival experience where guests know exactly what’s happening and where to be – without it ever feeling formal or rigid.

Place Names, Table Plans & Seating… Reinvented

Lanyards don’t just have to be programmes.

Many couples choose to use them as:

• Place name settings

• Seating or table allocation cards

• Welcome passes handed out on arrival

Guests can collect their lanyard at a welcome table or seating plan display, pop it on, and instantly feel like they’ve been given exclusive access to your wedding festival. Or the lanyards can be on the wedding tables as their wedding place name setting. They are really versatile and can be used on whatever way works for your own wedding or event.

It’s practical and immersive – and looks incredible in photos.

More Than a Programme: Totally Custom Uses

One of our favourite things about festival wedding lanyards is that there are no rules.

Couples have used them for:

• Drink tokens or bar information

• Taxi numbers and local transport details

• Venue or site maps

• QR codes for photo uploads

• Weekend itineraries for wedding festivals

• Emergency info or accommodation details

If there’s information you’d normally squeeze onto multiple cards, signs or inserts, a lanyard can often do it all in one fun, wearable piece.

A Real Festival Feel (And a Brilliant Keepsake)

There’s something special about watching guests wear their lanyards throughout the day – chatting, dancing, grabbing drinks, checking the line-up – just like they would at Glastonbury, Coachella or their favourite festival.

And unlike paper programmes that often get left behind, lanyards:

• Are worn all day

• Become part of the experience

• Double up as a keepsake

We’ve had couples tell us guests still have their lanyards hanging at home years later – a little reminder of an unforgettable wedding weekend.

Designed to Match Your Festival Wedding Perfectly

Every festival wedding VIP lanyard we create is completely bespoke.

We design everything around:

• Your wedding name or festival name

• Your colour palette

• Your theme (boho, neon, retro, woodland, Glasto-inspired…)

• The amount of information you want to include

From bold rainbow stripes and neon typography to softer, earthy festival tones, we’ll create a design that feels totally you.

And if you’ve got an idea that’s a bit different? Even better. Festival weddings are all about breaking the rules – and your stationery should do the same.
