【Wedding Video Type 1: Opening Video】

The opening video is played at the beginning of the reception, before the bride and groom make their entrance.

The opening video is an important point where individuality shines! I want to prepare a video that reflects the couple's personality and captures the excitement of the upcoming celebration.

＼What are the points for creating an opening video?／

Generally, it's best to keep the video around 1 to 3 minutes long, making it a glamorous video that builds excitement for the entrance. It would be great if it creates an atmosphere that makes the guests feel excited ♡ Be careful, as a video that is too long might make guests lose interest before the entrance!

The opening videos sold with "marry" are approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds long, which is just the right length, allowing you to freely insert between 16 to 30 photos ♡

Brides-to-be who are thinking of ordering one, definitely check it out!

【Wedding Video Type 2: Profile Video】

As the name suggests, the profile video traces the couple's birth, their meeting, and the journey up until today ＊ This is sometimes referred to as a "growing-up movie!"

The profile video is played when the bride and groom take a break. Since guests may start to feel bored during the break, let's entertain them while they wait ♡

The ideal length for a profile video is about 5 to 8 minutes ＊ If it's too short, it feels bland, and if it's too long, it becomes exhausting to watch.

A common way to structure the profile video includes either [one song for the groom's profile, one song for the bride's profile, and one song for the couple's journey together from their meeting to now] or [one song for the groom's profile, one song for the bride's profile, and one song about their journey together]. Using favorite music can add originality!

＼What are the points for creating a profile video?／

You'd want to finish the profile video using lots of photos taken over the years, right? However, many guests have expressed that the slideshows were too fast to see well! Therefore, it's important to make the photo slideshow at least 5 seconds per slide and incorporate ideas like displaying unused photos in the welcome space!

Including photos of all the guests in the profile video is◎ Use many memorable photos with the guests who came to the wedding to truly capture their hearts! ♡

【Wedding Video Type 3: End Roll】

The end roll is the video that plays at the end of the wedding, typically after the bride's letter, presentation of bouquets and gifts, and the groom's thank-you speech, or after their exit ＊

It's essential to include comments that express gratitude to the guests and highlights from the day to create an emotional video.

＼What are the points for creating an end roll?／

The end roll can be something referred to as [same-day edit] or [live edit], showing footage from the ceremony and reception on the wedding day! A video showcasing the highlights of such an emotional day is stunning, so I highly recommend the same-day edit! ＊

Additionally, including comments of gratitude to the guests is a lovely idea! You could either create it yourself and show it alongside memorable photos, or have a professional add captions.

【Wedding Video Type 4: Thank You Video】

Have you heard of the thank you video? It is a video that conveys appreciation to family and the guests who attended the wedding ＊

Many brides tend to play the thank you video after changing attire or before or after the bride's letter. It seems that many guests shed tears during the emotional scenes...

＼What are the points for creating a thank you video?／

The thank you video represents an expression of gratitude. A video filled with the couple's appreciation will surely become a treasured possession for the recipients ＊ I recommend not only playing it on the wedding day but also gifting it to the guests!

【Wedding Video Type 5: Concept Video】

A concept video is a video that conveys the theme or "concept" of the couple's wedding ＊ It could have themes like natural weddings, Christmas, Halloween, or resorts; there are unique preferences to showcase! ♩

The concept video is a way to communicate that theme to the guests ＊ A video that feels like the beginning of a movie will definitely make guests excited about the reception! ♡

＼What are the points for creating a concept video?／

The main goal of the concept video is to entertain the guests ＊ It is recommended to play it before the entrance or set up a tablet in the welcome space to play it ＊ It's important to create an atmosphere that makes the guests think, "Wow, I didn't know there was something like this!"

I want to create a wonderful video and have an unforgettable wedding♡

Videos are essential items at weddings as they can [build excitement, evoke emotions, and allow for nostalgic reflection] ◎

However, if the wedding is filled with too many videos, it may become exhausting to watch, thus diminishing the enjoyment. Hence, it’s recommended to select about 1 to 3 videos from this list to use. ＊

Whether you create the videos yourself or have a vendor assist, it will take time. Preparing for the wedding with plenty of time in advance is very important ◎ Make a memorable video and create a wonderful wedding! ♡
