How it works
Pick a design
Boho arches with dried pampas, black-tie art deco in champagne gold, or a watercolour garden. Each plays at once with sample names.
Add your names, date and photos
Type your names, the date, time and venue, and add your photos.
Download and send
Download the MP4 for WhatsApp, Instagram or email, or share a link that plays it on its own page.
Pick one of 3 designs
Every design asks the same questions, so you can switch to another one and keep everything you typed.
- Garden VowsA watercolour garden and a couple under a rose arbour, to a Chopin nocturne.
- Boho Pampas ArchYour photos in tall boho arches with dried pampas and palm fans while thin line arches draw themselves: save the date to RSVP.
- Black Tie Art DecoA black-tie save the date: your photos in champagne-gold deco frames, the date in engraved numerals, the reply as an evening ticket.
Save the dates in your own language
Every design opens in English. Type the names, events and places in Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil or Telugu instead: the letters are drawn whole and long words shrink to fit.

Save the date video templates with your photos
Boho Pampas Arch
Your photos in tall sand-stone arches with dried pampas and palm fans, while thin line arches draw themselves; the story as prints on linen.
Black Tie Art Deco
Your photos in champagne-gold deco frames, the date in engraved numerals, the reply as an evening ticket.
Garden Vows
A watercolour garden and an illustrated couple under a rose arbour, to a Chopin nocturne, for a save the date without photos.
Save the date or invitation?
A save the date usually goes out months before the wedding, so guests keep the day free and can plan travel; the invitation follows later. This video can be either: add the reception, the dress code and the RSVP and it works as the invitation itself. Or pick “Only the reception” in the editor for guests invited to the evening.
Choosing your photos
Pick one photo of the two of you for the opening and, if you tell your story, three more: how you met, a trip, the proposal. Photos in good light, with both faces clear and near the middle, look best in the arches and frames.
Sending a save the date by email
Attach the MP4 to an email, or paste its link so it plays in the browser without a download. The link’s page is titled with your two names, so it reads well in an inbox, and sharing again after a change plays the new version.
For a destination wedding
Guests travelling? Put the town or the resort as the venue, and add the dress code and your hashtag in the details, so everything they need to plan is in one short video they can keep on their phone.

When should I send a save the date?
Usually several months before the wedding, so guests can keep the day free and plan travel.

Can I send it by email?

Can I leave out our story or the reception?
Yes. The story, the reception and the details are optional; leave any out and the video runs on without a gap.
How long is the video?
About half a minute, a little longer with your story and the reception.
Does it have music?
Garden Vows plays a Chopin nocturne. Boho Pampas Arch and Black Tie Art Deco are silent; add a song in the app you post from.
