How to make a wedding invitation video in 10 minutes

You do not need a video editor or a designer to make a beautiful wedding invitation video. With a template-based maker you only type your details — the animation, typography and music are already done.

Here is the whole process, with tips that make the difference between an invite people skip and one they watch till the end.

Step 1 — Collect your details

Step 2 — Pick a design

Choose a style that matches your wedding: royal and regal, floral and traditional, regional (Bengali, South Indian, Punjabi, Muslim) or a Pixar-style 3D film with a scene for every function.

Tip: pick the design for the mood, not the colours — most designs adapt backgrounds and outfits per function.

Step 3 — Add your text and functions

Type your details into the editor and watch the live preview update. Keep each line short: a phone screen shows one scene at a time, and 5–7 words per line reads best.

Step 4 — Choose music

Pick a royalty-free track — shehnai, dhol, Bollywood-style or Rabindrasangeet-style. Avoid film songs: they are copyrighted and Instagram may mute the video.

Want a specific song? Download the video without music and add a licensed song from Instagram's or Facebook's music library when you post.

Step 5 — Preview, download and share

Watch the full preview free. When you are happy, download the HD video (vertical 1080×1920, made for WhatsApp and Instagram).

Share it with the invitation website link, so guests can RSVP, get directions and see later changes without a new video.
