Wedding slideshow tips & ideas to make a wedding slideshow

One of my all-time-favorite couples tied the knot last year after nearly 10 years together and decided they wanted to feature images of their life to a wedding slideshow thus far as part of their wedding reception. After much discussion, they put together an awe-inspiring wedding slide show of their favorite images in wedding slideshow software, burned them on to a DVD disk and projected the wedding slideshow onto the tent wall at the beginning of the wedding reception.
If you're interested in making a wedding slide show there are two ways to do it. You can create a wedding slide show of old images and share them at the actual wedding or you can create a slide show post the wedding put it on your wedding slideshow website - or better yet, host a post honeymoon party where you invite the bridal party to come relish the beautiful wedding pictures and videos from your wedding day. For my wedding slideshow tips and ideas on making a great slide show, just read more.
I really prefer wedding slide shows with songs, especially if you are planning on showing yours at your actual wedding. Still, many people like to add a musical touch to their wedding slide shows for a dramatic effect. There are a few simple steps that can aid you in making a great show-stopping wedding slide show.
Wedding Slideshow Tips and ideas:
1. Shorter is sometimes better - Ultimate wedding says that wedding video montage clips that are between 8 - 12 minutes in length are ideal for wedding receptions. This usually works out to about 3 songs and 75-100 wedding pictures. "While you can certainly display more photos during your wedding slide show, you want to be careful not to subject your guests to an extremely long photo slide show."
2. Choose Quality Wedding Photos - Pictures that look great printed will also look great while scanned. Now it's more and more popular to use digital camera to take wedding photos.
3. Add short wedding video montage clips - Do you have any home videos sitting around gathering dust? Think about adding perhaps a 10-15 second wedding video clip in the middle of the wedding slide show.
4. Add motion effects to your wedding slide shows - Slide shows developed on consumer level photo slideshow software will typically be just static photos that go from one picture to the next.
5. Test! Test! Test! - Remember watching your science teacher struggle with the overhead projector? Don't create a moment like that at your wedding or post-wedding party. Have everything about your perfect wedding slideshow set up and ready to go before guests arrive.
