Save the date · Animated Save the Date

Animated save the date videos with each family's name

Comes with Plus, ₹2,999 once per wedding, for every family’s film. Your first 2 save the dates in a card or game stay free.

An animated save the date is a short vertical video painted in a soft watercolour style and set to music: a lake with a sailboat, a camper van on a palm coast, a supper club with a tuba player. Each family's copy greets them by name, then shows your names, the date and your city. It arrives on WhatsApp as a video, not a link.

The illustrated couple in each film is part of the painting; what is yours is the text: your names, date and city, lettered into the film, and the family's name at the start of their copy.

It is the gentlest way to send a video to every family with their name on it, and it needs no photo at all.

Choosing

Which film for which venue

Lake, sea and beach

Bellagio opens an arched card onto a lake, a sailboat and a villa. California Dreamin' drives a camper van away to show the two of you by the sea at sunset. Seaside Splendour goes from a striped umbrella to a cliffside harbour at night.

Hotels and cities

Park Avenue climbs a grand New York hotel staircase to the dance floor. The Winter Vow puts that hotel in falling snow, dressed for Christmas, for December and January weddings.

Countryside and villas

The French Edit is rolling countryside and a garden dinner; Villa Toscana is cypress hills, a yellow Vespa and a spritz with your city on it; Moonlight in Provence rises among cypresses and ends in fireworks.

Music and dancing

The Hacienda has a bell-arch gateway and a flamenco dance, Viva Sevilla opens a flamenco fan onto a courtyard dinner, and Divine Dining is suitcases, champagne, a set table and dancing. Good openers for a sangeet or cocktail night.

Romance

A Night to Remember follows the car from the church to a château and a first dance under fireworks. Mythic Moments floats among ivy columns above the clouds. Take Me to Church is a yellow church and an olive-branch card, for a church wedding.

Questions

Animated Save the Date, answered

Are the people in the animated films us?

No. The couple in each film is an illustrated couple that is part of the painting. What is yours is the text: names, date, city and each family's name.

How long is each animated save the date?

Between 25 and 36 seconds depending on the film, made for a phone held upright.

Is an animated save the date a WhatsApp video invite?

Yes. It is sent as a video file, so it plays inside the chat, can be saved to the phone and forwarded to the family group like any other video.

How is an animated save the date different from an interactive one?

The film plays by itself with music, the same way for everyone who watches. An interactive card waits for the guest to tap or scratch, and ends on an Add to Calendar button.
