DVD Wedding Cards for Wedding Receptions

A miniDVD Wedding gift to your guests can tell them the exact meaning of your special day in your own words. From the historical roots of marriage, aspects of the ceremony, or long forgotten pictures, this is truly a meaningful way to share your wedding memories.

Weddings have always been rich with meaning and ritual. In order to help your guests understand the meaning of long forgotten traditions or give them glimpses of how you found each other, this inexpensive digital piece is the perfect way to impart the beauty and depths of culture.

You can give these digital pieces along with your wedding invitation so that your guests begin to see how much your wedding means to you. Or you can opt to give these as a reception memento, so that the guests present can relive your memories. Or you can give these after your wedding as a thanks to those who attended, and those who could not attend and missed your event.

These digital memories can be voiced over with your own thoughts and experienced by your friends and relatives around the world. Not only are these digital versions created for Western Weddings, but can be adapted to Eastern Weddings to explain ritual and meaning to a whole new set of upcoming generations. In addition, countless black and white photographs will be seen and appreciated instead of disintegrating in old forgotten albums.

Below are screen shots of digital wedding slideshow pieces created for a non traditional East/West wedding, and an East Indian wedding which were given to guests well after the weddings were over.

East Indian representations of traditional wedding objects formed the introduction of this simple slideshow.

The bright, colorful clothing of women from East India adornes all aspects of the wedding rituals. Here family members gather during the pre wedding moments.

The Mehndi ceremony consists of putting henna shapes intricately over the hands and feet.

The East Indian Bride is being carried by her brothers in a Palanquin into the wedding hall for the traditional East Indian wedding.

This nontraditional wedding ends with a Western Wedding held in a church. The bride and groom finally emerge, and guests are blowing bubbles as they depart.

As this simple slide show plays images, the yellow interactive closable menus on the right side translate the hindi songs into the english language to impart the meaning and reason for using this song.

The simple vibrant colors of the womens' Saris rustle as they enjoy the evening's festivities in the Dandia Raas Garba dance before the wedding day.

The interactive yellow scrollable section explains the meaning of a dozen symbols in the Indian rituals and cultural usage during the wedding ceremony.

The bride's wedding is interactively contrasted to her mother's wedding nearly 30 years ago. Similar poses, similar rituals, half way across the world, and in black & white photography on paper which may not live to see another generation.

Another interactive wedding procession contrasted to black and white images taken over 3 decades ago. The Black and White picture shows a village crowd and band in East India. This is contrasted to the current bride's wedding procession in this country during this simple slideshow.

The advantage of this miniCD format is an incredible amount of space. The last section of this interactive slideshow housed the entire Bhagavad Gita in English translation. This could be read at any of the guests' leisure, long after the wedding was over.

Share your wedding memories and rich cultural traditions with your guests by giving them this small but meaningful memento.
