  • 7] What should we say in our registry video?

    Your video should be light and fun.  Tell your guests how grateful  you are to be getting married and for their monetary gift.  Tell them  what you are saving for (a home, second car, retirement fund, etc)  and how their contribution truly helps.  Keep it short and sweet  around 30 seconds – no more than a minute.  A sample script is  below:

    Hi there, and thanks for visiting our wedding registry!  We are excited for the wedding and are looking forward to our life together.  We want to take a moment and sincerely thank you for your gift.  We are saving up for ______.  Your gift is instrumental in helping us reach that goal.  We will always remember your generosity, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  Bye!

    You get the idea.  Be yourself, be sincere and have fun!
