We see three stages of inviting the guests. First one is the paper card you hand-over to the concerned person. Second is the image of the card sent to the people one cannot reach or meet physically. Then, comes the third one which is actually the replacement of paper cards. Here either it would be an image of the bride and groom with an appealing poster and information about the wedding or it would be a short video with information.

Pre-wedding shoot

This cinematic shoot has been the current trend of weddings. Either it is the image or the video and is often 2-5min. Another way round of pre-wed shoot is it is shortened and edited as an invitation e-cards and is shown on a big screen during the ceremony.
