Cards and Gifts
Take a moment for you
Sometimes, before their wedding, couples choose to exchange gifts or write a card for each other. It may seem unusual, but it's a wonderful way to remind each other why you're getting married. Planning the wedding, dealing with family and friends, and everything else can be overwhelming, but by exchanging a card or gift in the morning, you get to take a moment to focus on what truly matters – the two of you!
First Look
If you’re not a huge fan of sharing Your first look in front of all your guests, Maybe a first look is a good call?
Believe me, dedicating just 15 minutes to meet each other in your wedding attire and spend time together can greatly enhance your big day. These moments are truly magical to experience as they eliminate any nervousness you may have.
Personal Vows
Traditional wedding vows are great, but writing your own personalized vows can make your day even better. It's really special when couples share a bit of their journey and why they love each other. You can talk about your dating experiences or what you're excited about in married life. There's no wrong way to write your own vows, but they have the potential to be amazing. I promise they will make your ceremony more meaningful and maybe even funny. You don't have to be a poet - just write from the heart, and it will be wonderful!
Interview
As an engaged couple, you've likely thought about how to make your wedding day special. One way to personalize your wedding video is by letting your videographer interview you on camera on the day of your wedding. By sharing parts of your love story and your wishes for the future, this interview adds a personal touch to your video. It will not only capture your connection naturally but also allow you to relive those emotions in the future. So, consider talking to your videographer on your special day and create a magical experience!
Voice Message
Do you have bad handwriting? Me too! Instead of writing a card for your partner to read on the wedding day, why not make a recording? Find a quiet spot, open your recording app, and express your emotions. Then, send it to your partner to listen to on the wedding day! Make sure your photographer and videographer captures your reaction!
Selfie Video
Before the wedding day, amidst the chaos and preparations, it's easy to forget what truly matters. One suggestion is to take a moment the night before and create a short video of yourself expressing your emotions, like a video voicemail for your partner. You can also make a video together, providing a unique glimpse into your feelings.
Facetime Call
On your wedding day, pause and connect through FaceTime. It's a wonderful way to unwind and reflect on the real significance of this special occasion. Just hit screen record on your phone, and then call your spouse to be!
