A memorable wedding gift

My best friend is getting married in December and moving to start married life with her husband in AUSTRALIA! (Oh so far away!) While I’ll definitely miss her I do wish them both the best and wanted to make sure I picked out a very special truly unique gift and not a blender.

I came across some old VHS videos of us in the past and decided to have them transferred to DVD for an early wedding present. I was also able to work in some current videos of us from my iphone, and a very special heartfelt video message to them both at the end. It was so beautiful and meaningful for everyone who saw it. Her mom is planning on getting their old home movies transferred too, so my friend can have her family close even though she’s far away.

I got this idea from attending a wedding where the couple showed a photo slideshow of themselves growing up, meeting each other, dating, and then getting engaged. I absolutely loved it! Plus showing it at the reception was a great idea since all the VIPs from both families were gathered together to celebrate. If you’re interested in giving “the gift of memories” inquire at AllYourMemoriesOnDVD.com. They can transfer old videos, iphone video to DVD, edit your videos for highlight reels, and make cool photo slideshows. My friend was thrilled with the video I made for her and her husband had the chance to get to know her on a whole new level. It was the perfect gift!

How and When to Announce Your Engagement

Now that he’s planned all the romantic details of how to propose and has successfully swept you off your feet, your fiancé can breathe a sigh of relief. . . or can he???!? If your parents have never met your future spouse, this can be an extreme source of anxiety. As parents, siblings, and close family are usually the first to hear the news of your engagement, it would be helpful to introduce him into conversations, prompting questions and opportunities to share more about him before bringing him over for a visit. Once you are all familiar, then you can feel reassured of you happy news being received more warmly, instead of it being a complete shock. For brides who have been married before and who have children it is important that your children and ex are informed first.
