DVD
or CD

A fully produced
invitation or thank you note up to 5 minutes in length, including
up to 20 pictures displayed as a photo montage
with production music and the written invitation
burned onto a DVD or CD.
We include the cost of production with all orders of 100 or more. A written invitation is included both on the DVD case and within the DVD production itself.
You can mail us your 20 pictures or email the JPEG or TIFF files. Our music studio will supply high-end production music to set the perfect ambiance for your story to unfold. This will give your invitation a personal handmade touch while maintaining respect for copyrighted music works. For any other copyrighted property, including professional photographs be sure to obtain the necessary approval from the owner.
If you have additional questions about copyrighted
material or what is included in the production
of your DVD or CD wedding invitation, please
feel free to contact
us. |

| What
about my guests that don't have a CD or DVD player? |
 |
 |
DVD
players are becoming more commonplace everyday;
they are
available in a wide variety of electronic media,
including computers, televisions and even
game
systems. Most computers have either a CD ROM
or DVD player.
But,
for those guests on your list who don't have
a DVD player, we've designed each invitation
to include your formally written invitation
directly on the DVD case. When you place your
order, you will design your own personalized
invitation in the Design
Center. One invitation
will be included with each CD/DVD you purchase.
Simply mail the case, backside up to display
your written invitation. |

need to do/supply to complete the project? |

It's
as easy as 1, 2, 3...
1. Complete the wedding invitation design template
2. Send us up to 20 pictures from childhood through
dating and your engagement
3. If you choose the audio love story option, call or e-mail us to set up a studio recording session (in person or via phone). For the video option, record a 2-3 minute story, followed by an invitation to attend your wedding, using our sample
invitation scripts.
You may send up to 5 minutes of video on a DV mini cassette or a VCR analog tape. If not pre-edited please identify the relevant scenes to be included in the video. Please number the back of the photos in the order you would like them to be produced.

| What do I
need to do when I get my invitations? |
 |
Your DVD or CD invitations or thank you notes will arrive in the case, with pre-printed spine labels and cover artwork pre-inserted. You will receive mailing boxes - one for each invitation to send to your guests. Simply address the boxes as you would an envelope, insert the DVD case into the box and add postage (currently $1.35). If you have ordered RSVP postcards then they will be included. Be sure to add your return address and postage to the RSVP card. We offer a mail-out service for both invitations and thank you notes. Including first class US postage and handling it is $2.50 per invitation within the United States. Add .50 cents to include the RSVP card.

| How far in
advance should I place my order? |
 |
Your guests should receive their invitation approximately six weeks prior to the celebration, or their thank you note within one month following the event. With this in mind please leave time to gather and mail content including pictures and video if applicable. Ideally, we need content 10-12 weeks prior to the event. Earlier is always better, because it gives us more time to invest in the production of your invitation or thank you note. For photo montages we can typically work within a one month window of the event.
We will honor last minute orders, depending on our current workload. Please contact our office at 800-894-7033 to inquire about orders that are less than 10 weeks before the event.
