Unique Ways to Share Your Wedding Video

After your glorious wedding day has come and gone, you’ll have a great video to share with friends and family. Here are some creative ideas for how to turn watching the footage into a fun get-together everyone will enjoy!

Manicure/Pedicure Party

Gather the viewing party and schedule an en masse appointment at your local nail parlor. Some salons (like Tootsies in Denver’s Highlands and Wash Park) host “nail parties” regularly and offer a wine and cheese platter option alongside nail services. Although some salons have already have them available, be sure to mention that they will need to accommodate a television set and DVD player.

Coffee/Tea/Cocktail Party

Commandeer a screen at your local haunt. Film-friendly Forest Room 5 Bar & Restaurant in Denver hosts indoor and outdoor movie screenings all year long. With two private rooms, you can choose between a projection screen for formal viewing or a room with multiple television screens for a more casual showing.

Backyard Party

Barbecue lovers with spacious backyards, access to a projector, and as little as a white sheet on a clothesline to use as a screen may consider hosting a more intimate event at home. For DIY-ers, Google “How to Start a Backyard Film Festival” for more ideas on how to construct your own private theater.

And for those with no time to plan a get-together (or with friends and family members in distant places)…

Digital Screening

Check with your videographer to see if hosting a portion of your wedding video on their website is possible; short highlight videos work best for streaming). That way, you can email a direct link of your video to all who are curious to see how the day was documented. If hosting is not an option, nabbing a Quicktime file to upload onto your Facebook or Myspace account is the next best way to share your video.
