New Trend: Save the Date Videos
We have all received save the date cards and magnets alerting us to a future event so we can make plans to attend. Now, a recent trend is save the date videos. These short clips, usually about 60 seconds long, are similar to a TV commercial. They pack a brief story into a very limited time. The completed video can be uploaded to a personal web site, a blog, YouTube, Facebook or another social networking site, or they can be sent via mail to family and friends, such as Grandma or Great Aunt Sally, who would never find a web posting.
Creating a video isn’t cheap. If a commercial videographer is hired, the price can range from a few hundred dollars to well over a thousand, depending on where you live, the complexity of the shoot, and the video’s length. If you are planning to hire a videographer for your wedding, you might check into having him/her also create a save the date video. Or, if you have a friend or relative who has a camcorder, you might ask them to help you create your own video.
A save the date video can be a fun addition to your wedding, though you may lose some privacy if the video appears on the internet, so be careful how much information you reveal.
