Once you have chosen your Animated Invitation Design, place your event details how you would like them to appear, in the order form. Should your chosen card allow, you can upload an optional photo. There will be space to include any extra special details in the end slide of the invitation, as well as the opportunity to include any special direction for the layout of the text.
You also have the option on may of our designs to change colors, music, fonts and more. Your invitation order will will show you what can be customized.
We will always contact you to ask questions and clarify anything if needed. If you are looking for assistance with ideas for phrasing, we have a helpful Wedding Invitation Etiquette tips page.
Once you have checked your wording is correct, continue through the payment process and an email confirmation will be sent to you. Please check your junk folder should this not arrive in your inbox.
When your video is ready, a private weblink will be emailed to you for review. Should we need to revise anything, we are able to update your text and its layout, as many times as needed, until you are completely happy with the results. You are then ready to send your invitation weblink to your guests in any method of your choice. Such as email, text message, whatsapp message and so on.
Alternatively you can place the video in your own event webpage, and send this to your guests instead. Read below for more details on this.
Yes. We are able to add a link to an RSVP service of your choosing. Motion Stamp does not create RSVP forms. However when you order a webspage we can create a button which will take your guests directly to an RSVP that you suppply us. If you are looking for an RSVP option, there are quite a few out there.
Google forms is a great way to Rsvp and it's free. You can see an example of a Wedding RSVP here. RSVP Example Motion Stamp provides you with a free Google forms rsvp template, that matches your chosen invitations. You can ammend it and make your own.

Alternatively, we can create 1 video, with multiple website text variations. Under the video we can include different text versions. Please see an exmaple of this text below the invitation here.

Yes, Motion Stamp has a wonderful music collection. You can choose a track that is closer to your theme from our range.
Otherwise, if you are looking for something more specific, we recommend a wonderful music catalog called Premium Beat. They have lots of beautiful and professionally composed music. There would be an additional fee of $70 USD for us to purchase the music license for your invitation, and for Motion Stamp to re-edit the audio. We can even download a preview of the track to ensure it works before we commit to buying a license.
As Motion Stamp is a business, it is required to follow commercial music licensing law. Which means we need to have written permission from the owner of the music, or have purchased a commercial music license to be able to use a music track.
Generally an order from one of our templates will take between 3-5 business days. There are a number of steps involved, and depending on the wording, there may be a little manual re-animation involved in getting your invitation looking just right. On the odd occasion we may pause creating orders for a holiday period. We'll always announce this on our website ahead of time so customers can be aware.

This will allow you to have the video live on Vimeo, while playing directly from your website.
Please note, we will be unable to insert the code into your webpage for you. If you are unsure how to do this, your web creation service will most likely have support instruction pages and staff. Otherwise, there are many web freelancers who can easily insert it.
