You’ve just received your wedding video, YAY! Now you not only have the luxury of being able to relive one of the most amazing days of your life, but you can also share the video with those who were unable to attend your wedding. So, what is the best way to share your wedding video? Gone are the days of VCRs and DVDs. With recent technological advancements, sharing your wedding film is easier than ever. In this blog, we’ll explore some ways to share your wedding video with friends and family.
Create a Wedding Website
A wedding website is a great platform to share your wedding video with all of your guests. Perhaps you and your partner already set up a wedding website to share the pre-wedding details with your guests. If so, sharing your video this way will be a breeze. You can simply create a dedicated page for your wedding video and share the link with your guests. This way, they can access the video anytime and from anywhere with an internet connection.
Social Media
Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube are great ways to share your wedding video with friends and family. Plus, they are free! There are a few different ways you can go about doing this. First, you can upload the video to your profile or create a dedicated page for it. This will allow your friends to view, comment, like, and share your video. Secondly, you can choose to create a group chat and include the video there. And lastly, you can share the video on your wedding hashtag to make it easy for your guests to find.
Email
Another simple way to share your wedding video is by sending it as an attachment or a link in an email. You can create a group email and send it to all of your guests. This way, they can access the video directly from their inbox.
USB Drives
For those who prefer physical copies, you can choose to store the video on a small USB drive and send it via mail. This option is less efficient and will certainly take a bit more time on your part. This is a great option for older family members who may not be tech-savvy. We also recommend couples do this for themselves as a way of preserving the video and storing it in a safe place. It may even be worth having multiple copies in different locations for an extra layer of security.
In-Person/Virtual Screening
If you’re really looking to take your wedding video to the next level, consider hosting an in-person or virtual screening. At Poulin Productions, we’ve had several couples mention that they hosted watch parties with family members. The consensus? It is an amazing way to showcase your wedding video and make it fun for everyone. If opting for a virtual screening, you can use video conferencing platforms like Zoom to share the video.
Sharing your wedding video with your guests is now easier than ever with the various options available. Choose the best option for you and your guests, and enjoy reliving your special day. Whether it is one year from now or a decade into the future, being able to relive the memories of your wedding day is one of the most amazing feelings.
