Save Time & Money. Share Your Big News in Style with a Video Save the Date

Now is the time of year when a lot of couples are getting engaged. Christmas and Valentines Day are great moments to pop the question. After the initial excitement dies down, you realize that you need to share the news with everyone you plan to invite. That’s where a Save the Dates comes in. But what if you are looking to save on your budget (even 100 ‘free’ postcards will cost over $100 for most weddings)? What if you want a more personal, fun, or eco-friendly method to spread the news? Why not consider a Video Save the Date?

Video Save the Dates are popping up all over the internet. They are a great alternative to mailing postcards or magnets. They are a real ‘green’ solution, not only saving fuel and paper, but saving some green for your budget. Plus they are a much more personal and fun way to let everyone know your big news.

The majority of the ones seen online are really sophisticated and include things like stop action motion, animated graphics and other editing techniques. So what are you to do if you don’t have the equipment, software, and skills of a Hollywood production team? Becoming the Mrs.com has found a great company, Storymix Media, that offers a super cool and easy product to fulfill your Video Save the Date dreams. All you need to do is pick one of their elegant and fun themes and upload 15 photos and a short video greeting (just shoot it on your digital camera or Flip). Then you go to their simple to use Storyboard to add some titles and arrange everything in the order you want. Storymix will make a great video and add it to a private HD online gallery for you to share the link with anyone you plan on inviting. All for under $30, that’s less than you’ll spend on postage!

{Contest} Storymix has been generous to offer one lucky reader their Video Save the Date for free. We’ll pick a winner by January 29, giving you plenty of time to ‘spread the news’. Good luck everyone!
