  • Broadcasting your wedding

    Have an ideal guest list that doesn’t fit your budget? Or perhaps you have too many family and friends that can’t travel to your wedding locale. What if you could invite them all to share in the magic as it happens… and broadcast it LIVE through the internet?

    I’ve seen the idea floating around the web for quite a long time, but today it became a reality when one of my favorite online personalities, Gwen Bell, announced the live-streaming of her nuptials tomorrow at 3pm MST. She’s using UStream to share her ceremony & reception with anyone who wants to join in on the happy event… and I’m sure you could easily translate the idea for your own event.

    What if you sent out a small postcard to everyone that declined an invitation with a link to your broadcast? Or sent and email far and wide to everyone you know only a day before the event just to spread the love? Heck, you could send out a tweet or update your facebook status and let everyone share in the love!

    While I’m sure some this idea might not be for everyone, if you’re one who’d love to have the world at your doorstep to share in your love, it might be the perfect solution! :)   Showcasing the wedding video months later just doesn’t quite have the same effect.
