Tuesday Tutorial | How to Include Grandparents in your Wedding Video

When I was in my young teens, I distinctly remember my 80-year-old grandpa casually handing me a brand new iPod.

“Your aunt gave me this little radio for Christmas; do you want it?” he asked

Oh, Grandpa. Bless your heart.

Needless to say, your grandparent’s will not be the most tech-savvy people at your wedding, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be included in your WeddingMix video! In fact, interviews with grandparents giving marriage wisdom and blessings are often the most meaningful moments in couples’ wedding video.

In order to help you include ALL of your guests in capturing your wedding video, we’ve compiled a step-by-step list of how to explain WeddingMix to Grandpa, Grandma, and even elderly parents:

1. Explain that people’s smartphones can now take pictures and video just as nice-looking as a camera. Make it clear that you want people to use their phones and WeddingMix HD cameras to record special, candid moments from your wedding, as well as film during your bridal shower, dress fitting, and other important events.

2. Next, explain why you chose WeddingMix– because it’s nice to your wedding budget, allows you to personally pick the scenes that go into the final video, and lets you see your big day through the eyes of those who love you most!

3. Your grandparent’s probably don’t have a smartphone, but that’s a good thing! Since they won’t be using a camera, that means that they will be on camera. Tell them that you’ll specifically assign another wedding guests to film. They don’t have to worry about a thing!

4. Most importantly, tell your grandparents how thankful you are they can be a part of your wedding! Whether your guests use WeddingMix camera’s to record your grandparent showing off adorable dance moves, giving well-wishes to the newly wed couple, or having a little too much fun at the open bar, you’re sure to capture a ton of heartwarming clips of Grandpa and Grandma to make your wedding video truly priceless.
