Andrea - that is such a great idea - are you planning to email it to them?

my only constructive comments are that i don't like the blue with yellow/gold letters in the beginning - what about making the backgrounds consistently your wedding colors / match your logo?

and the postal mail thing was SO CUTE - the only thing that i thought of was saying something like 'watch your postal mail in January" or something b/c people may be wondering when to watch.

also, i thought it went a little bit slow.

your credits are really funny!! i think your guests will get a kick out of it :)

I agree about the colors (blue and yellow) not being very attractive. I had much better colors originally but my FI wanted blue and yellow because we are sailing RCCL and that's their colors. I think I will have final veto power to change it up but i'm waiting until closer to the wedding so there is less time for discussion about it :). I plan to email the video to everyone the same day I put their care packages in the mail. That way they'll know to start watching for them! I like the idea of adding something like, your pre cruise care packages went in the mail today...just to be more specific for them. Some of the video went a little slow, but I wanted to give everyone time to read the text and take it in. I can't wait to send it out! Thanks for your comments and ideas!

I can't wait to go home and watch this. I can't get on You Tube from work. It sounds like it's a great idea.
