How do you send save the dates as a video?

Short answer

You send save the dates as a video by recording a short clip of you both announcing the date, then sharing it by email, WhatsApp or a private link. Keep it under a minute, and end with the date on screen.

A video save the date is a lovely way to show your personality and make guests smile. Record a short clip, around 30 to 45 seconds, of you both talking to camera or doing something fun. Say your names, the date and the location, and then hold up a sign or show a graphic with the date. You can film on your phone in good light, with a plain background, and edit with a simple app to add text and music. Make sure the date is visible on screen for at least five seconds, because guests might watch without sound. Then share the video by email as a file or a link, or send it through WhatsApp or text. If you use a private link, make sure it works on phones and doesn't require a login. For older guests, you might send a printed card too, because not everyone can open video files. Keep the tone natural, and don't worry about being perfect. You can also ask a friend to film you, or use a tripod. Avoid using copyrighted music, and check that your video file is not too large to send by email.
