So I'm definitely convinced that one of the sweetest and most inexpensive additions to a wedding is the video photo showcase that some couples add to their wedding's reception! Not all couples take advantage of this opportunity to show their guests their humorous sides by adding funny childhood photos leading up to pictures of the happy couple in the present day. Every wedding I've attended that's had this addition in it has seen it go off without a hitch and engage their guests in a positive way by inviting them into the couple's personal world in the past and present. You could even add a theme to the showcase if you wanted and/or add background music to it which will only add to the hilarity of the presentation;) I mean, think of the possibilities: adding old school music like 'Parents just don't understand' by the Fresh Prince during the childhood pictures slides, then later segueing into 'I'm a Believer' by the Monkees when the couple's photos begin, etc.
***Wedding photo savings tip: Hire a professional photographer only for the wedding party photos and the ceremony itself. For the reception, add disposable cameras to each table's centerpiece with a note asking your guests to help save the memories of your reception by becoming freelance photographers for the night:)
Better yet, after the ceremony is over and you get the pictures back from the wedding and the reception, it'd be ideal to be able to put those photos together into a video showcase of their own for future viewing (or perhaps to send to family and friends who weren't able to make it to the wedding). And then there's the honeymoon photos and anniversary photos... My point is I'd definitely look into getting a video photo slide program for your events that deserve a polished, professional look for those times when you're traveling down memory lane or showing off to new neighbors (lol) and don't necessarily want to whip out a large, dusty photo album on your bookshelf that rarely gets attention. The best and cheapest program I've found on the Internet is called the Video Showcase Creator. The've got samples up of what their program can do on Youtube along with testimonials and all that jazz. It looks really good and only costs about as much as dinner at Olive Garden for you and your honey;) Check it out here:
