Creative Wedding Idea – Marryoke Music Video


There’s a new wedding service that is catching on for wedding videographers
to offer to brides called “Marryoke” or “Lip Dub”.

Here’s a brief explanation of the services…

Get your guests singing along to lines from your favourite song, then leave the rest to us as we create your very own music video. And don’t worry if you’re out of tune, because we dub the original track over the video making it look as though you are all singing superstars!

So, you and your guests can star in your very own music video!

Here are a couple examples…



Wedding Budget Tip: Cake

Wedding Budget Tips brought to you by: Bravo Bride

* Buy a smaller decorated cake for wedding photos, and have a plain sheet cake in the kitchen to serve guests. On average, twenty percent of guests don’t eat wedding cake.

* Choosing butter cream or cream cheese instead of expensive fondant is another way to save money on your wedding cake.

Wedding Budget Tip: Flowers

* Having flowers flown in will raise your costs so only use only in season and readily available flowers.

* To get the best prices, order your flowers from an online wholesaler.  Keep in mind, however, that you will be responsible for all of the preparation, trimming and storing them, as well as arranging the flowers the day of the wedding.

Wedding Budget Tip: Invitations

Wedding Budget Tips brought to you by: Bravo Bride

* Save postage and additional paper cost on your wedding invitations by forgoing the inner envelope reply card and asking guests to reply online or by the telephone.

* Avoid oversized or bulky invitations since this greatly increases your postage costs.

* Skip ordering the reception cards, have the reception information printed on the bottom of the invitation.

* Instead of paying extra for your invitations to arrive assembled, buy a few bottles of wine, gather friends and have an invitation assembly party! Just don’t spill the wine on your invitations by accident.

Wedding Budget Tip: Wedding Attire

Wedding Budget Tips brought to you by: Bravo Bride

* Most of the big bridal shops have huge sales once a year, which are typically held at hotels or other venues like wedding shows. Look in your local paper or ask a wedding planner to find out what time of the year the sales are held.

* Think about looking in unconventional places to buy bridesmaids gowns.  Go shopping for them during prom season and after New Years Eve at department stores or online.  A bridesmaid’s gown doesn’t have to come from a bridal shop.

* Many menswear shops will let your groom rent his tuxedo for free or provide a discount if his groomsmen rent their tuxes there.

Five Reasons You Should Make a Wedding Website
Guest Post by: Geoff Evason from Momentville

Making a wedding website can be both fun and very useful for your wedding.  For couples who haven’t yet made their own wedding website we’d like to point out 5 great reasons to consider making one.

First, a wedding website is very useful for sharing wedding information with your guests.  By adding the details of your wedding you can use your wedding website as a central spot for information about your wedding.  Letting your guests easily find all the relevant information in one place makes things easier for everyone.  This is especially true for destination weddings and out of town guests.

Second, a wedding website is a great way for communicating updates with your guests.  Some of the newer wedding websites allow your guests to subscribe to updates you make.  This makes your website a handy ongoing communication tool and allows you to feel confident that your guests are hearing about updates.  If a wedding website provider offers RSS feeds then you can even share your updates on social networking sites like Facebook.

Third, wedding websites can be great for helping you plan your wedding.  Many wedding websites include electronic invites, electronic RSVPs, and guest/meal tracking features.  This makes it a snap to keep track of who has/hasn’t RSVPed, who is coming, and how many of each type of meal has been requested.

Fourth, you can use your wedding website to interact with your guests before and after the wedding.  If you add a wedding blog to your website, everyone can read about how the planning is coming along.  You can use interactive features such as guest books to ask for music requests.  That is a great way to make sure everyone gets to hear some music that they like, and helps everyone feel more involved. After the wedding, you can get your guests to upload their photos of your event so you can get all the best shots.

Fifth, a wedding website can help you preserve your memories.  After the event is finished, you can add photos from your special day.  In the future you can then look back at your website and remember how magical your wedding was and have all the details, planning info, and photos available to see.  Unfortunately, many wedding website providers offer websites that expire after one year.  Your memories don’t expire, why should your website?

There are many other reasons you might consider making your own wedding website.  Above we highlighted the top 5 reasons that were important to us in building MomentVille.  MomentVille.com offers an easy, fun, and free way to build your own wedding website that never expires.  Our goal is to help people plan, share, and remember life’s special moments.
