Wedding Slide Show Productions
Wedding slide shows are being shown at almost every wedding
across America. Parents are having them made for their children,
married couples are having them made for themselves, best men
and maid of honors are having them made for the happy couple,
and the list goes on. What are some of the reasons people are
having these slideshows/video albums/photo montages made? And
where exactly do they fit into the wedding ceremony?
Slide shows for weddings can be shown at rehearsal dinners, the
reception, or both. Slide shows for rehearsal dinners can be
very personal and should also include those in the wedding party
as to make the slideshow more entertaining to the audience.
Slide shows for receptions are often shown while the bride and
groom are still having their pictures taken. In this way, your
guests are being entertained while awaiting the arrival of the
new Mr.& Mrs. However, the most popular time to present the
slide show is during the meal or immediately following the last
person served. In this way your guests are being entertained
while dining, and this takes the stress off of having to come up
with "small talk" for an extended amount of time. Still others
will simply allow the slide show to play in the background with
no music, or sound. Just a continuous flow of pictures
throughout the evening to give the guests something to look and
to help keep the conversation between guests going - pictures
have a way of creating conversational topics. While this option
is good to do when there are no creative elements in the slide
show presentation - just the fade-in, fade-out photo montage
style slide show, for a more creative slide show presentation
you should opt to show the slide show continuously throughout
the evening only after having shown the slide show completely
through with the sound (when the slide show is finished just
turn off the sound and let the show play in a continuous loop.
But make sure you tell your slide show creating company that
this is what you want to do).
The wedding slide show should consist of photos of both the
bride and the groom from the time of birth through the
engagement. In addition, when creating the slide show make sure
to include photos of the guests when possible. This will most
assuredly help keep your audience's interest peaked. Another
feature you would most definitely want to include in the slide
show is credits. Give credit to mothers, fathers, grandparents,
the bridal party, and anyone else who helped to make this the
most memorable occasion of your life.
Presenting slide shows at the reception is a wonderful way to
display your relationship to all your family and friends. It
will be especially meaningful to your out-of-town guests because
it will help them get to know the new love of your life, how you
met, and the joy you bring each other.
Once you've selected the photographs for your slide show,
contact a professional slide show creating company, such as

companies are experts at creating the best slide show for your
special occasion, and have all the equipment necessary to create
a professional quality DVD or VHS. But don't make the mistake of
putting this off until the last minute. Creating professional
slide shows takes time, and so does the mail. So get started
gathering up your photographs and video clips as soon as
possible, and call your slideshow creating company for hints and
ideas to create the best slide show possible to help make your
occasion an event they'll all be talking about for years to
come. And don't forget to order copies to give to the parents,
grandparents, and other close family members and friends.
They'll be glad you did!
