Save the Date Movie 🎞️

Recently Trending "Save the Date Movie" Abroad＊

"Save the Date" is a classic phrase written on wedding invitation cards.

It’s a message saying, "Please keep this date open!" when the wedding date is set. 💌

Recently, some bride and groom have been posting videos on social media to announce their wedding date as "save the date" at the time their wedding date is decided, telling their friends who follow them to "keep this date open!" ♡

Since it’s a post on Instagram, they probably inform the people they are genuinely inviting individually as well...

But it’s a cute video that makes you want to try shooting one! So let me introduce what it’s like＊

A Movie Full of Excitement for the Wedding＊

The recently popular save the date movie generally follows a pattern♡

Something like this＊

<Example 2>

<Example 3>

It's Patternized!

The flow typically goes as follows:

① The couple spreads a large paper with the wedding date written on it

② Friends hype it up with confetti or balloons

③ Friends hand items to the bride and groom (it’s standard for the bride to receive a bouquet and the groom to receive a party horn♡)

④ The scene transitions to black and "To Be Continued..."

This seems to be the classic flow.

Casual outfits like a dress and a shirt are typical, sometimes with sunglasses for a playful vibe. 🕶

Instead of being elaborate videos with effects, what stands out is that they are simple shots taken in one take, having fun with friends. ♡

There’s also a version where they start without holding anything and later their friends give them the paper.＊
