Wedding Video Ideas
Wedding Proposal
Propose to the one that you love with a video wedding proposal. It's the best way to bring all of your parents' friends and family into one video.
Have your friends and family submit video clips on why they love you two as a couple or their fondest memory of you as a couple. Or create a slideshow of you and your partner throughout your relationship.
Use our lovely text cards for popping the big questions for the end of the video! Have them say yes, yes, yes with tears of joy.
Sending Best Wishes
Have everyone send a wedding video message with their wedding wishes for the special couple. Whether they can make it to the wedding or not, everyone can participate!

Send the couple off in holy matrimony.
Wedding Day Stories!
During the wedding reception, ask guests to upload their wedding videos expressing how much they love the couple and how much fun they are having at their wedding.
They can also give the bride and groom some marriage advice or wish them a happy future together! Then over the next day or two, you go through the videos to put them in order.
Send it to the bride and groom as a keepsake from their wedding day. A gift they will cherish forever.
Tips on How to Make a Wedding Video
Plan it Out
Before you begin, think about how you'll want to organize your wedding video.
Will this be for a proposal or the big wedding day? Will the videos and photos be chronological, starting from when you first met? Or do you want to show their progression from childhood until now?
You can do it all with our drag-and-drop video editors on your VidDay Event Page.
Think of the flow you want to create and drag and drop away!
Edit Your Wedding Video
Make sure your submissions are the right length.
Is there dead air?
Is there space left at the end?
Don't worry. You can trim off the excess in our video editor. Or, if you want, we can take care of that for you! Just let us know.
We recommend breaking up your wedding videos with pictures. We recommend adding three photos before or after a two-minute video. It's not a hard rule, just something we like, but get creative and see what you want.
Choose a Cover Photo
Select a wonderful photo of that special bride and groom for a cover photo.
This photo is on all of your submission invitations. It helps to add a personal touch for those you want to participate. If you can't find enough images on your own, ask your friends and family to upload their favorite photos of the bride and groom.
Wedding Video Editing Tips & Tricks
Personalize the Wedding Video
VidDay lets you match the Bride and Groom's personality with a selection of beautiful themes. Choose any theme that matches their wedding colors or choose one that matches the couple's taste and personality â add in some text cards to make a smooth progression.
Add bright colors and a fun theme for that fun-loving Bride and Groom, or keep it more neutral for a more elegant feel for the more serious kind of wedding. Give your video the pizzazz it deserves. From our most popular Collage Theme to our Watercolor theme. There are many to choose from that will fit everyone's tastes.

Photo and Video Editors
All video clips and photo uploads will be stored on your VidDay Event Page. You can edit and adjust these photos and video clips from here with our VidDay editor.
You can edit off extra time off a video, flip and rotate or leave them just the way they are. Make your Wedding Video gift a little more special by choosing filters for photos and crop them how you see fit.
