Two white or bamboo cards, normally $60 $52 — Free tracked shipping See the cards
Weddings
A card that hides your wedding video inside it. Guests hold a phone to it and the day starts playing — at the reception, and again every anniversary after. Nothing to download, nothing to explain to your grandmother.

Why this one works
Sugared almonds, a personalized bottle opener, a tiny succulent that dies by Thursday. Couples spend two to five dollars a head on things guests carry out of politeness and bin at the first opportunity, and everybody involved knows it.
A card that plays your wedding video does not get binned, because throwing it away means throwing away the video. It goes in a drawer, and it comes back out — when the guest’s own kids ask about the wedding, when your anniversary comes round, when somebody visits and sees it on a shelf. That is the difference between a souvenir and a keepsake, and it is the only reason to spend more than two dollars a guest.
Most couples build theirs in Bamboo. It is engraved rather than printed — your names and the date, cut into the wood itself, with no ink sitting on top to fade or peel off a card a guest carries around for years. It holds type only, not a photograph; a couple who wants their engagement picture on the front chooses White instead, at the same price. Every finish, side by side.
At $25 a card from 10 up — $250 for ten, shipping included — and it drops again to $23 a card right at the 25-card self-serve cap ($575 total) — it costs about what a decent favor costs, and it is the only one still in the house in five years. A full guest list is a quote away, at the same rate.
The good trick
Videographers take weeks. Your guests should not have to wait for them, and you should not have to mail two hundred envelopes twice.
Names and the date on the front — the same card you would have printed as stationery. Ready weeks before the day.
A sixty-second thank-you the two of you film on a phone the week before. Guests tap it at the reception and get your voices on the night itself, which is better than an empty page.
One change on your end. Every card already in a guest’s drawer now opens the real thing. Nothing is remade and nothing is mailed twice.
What to put on it
On Bamboo, your names and the date are engraved into the wood instead of printed — no photograph, but nothing on top of it to fade either. Want your engagement picture on the front instead? Choose White: it prints in full color, and an engagement photo works better there than a posed portrait.
Either “Thank you for being part of our day” in your own wording, or the plain “Hold your phone here” back that tells a guest what to do. Included at no extra cost, and worth it for a room of people who have never tapped a card before.
The ceremony highlight and the first dance. Guests watch a three-minute film to the end and abandon a twenty-minute one — and you can always change it later, so start short.
Add the guest name to the back and one card does favor and escort card at once. Tell us at checkout and we will set it up per name.
Make it an occasion page instead of a plain video, and the page grows a box for it — anyone with the card can add what they took that night. Approve each one first, or let them appear straight away.

Order any number up to 25 — the rate is set by how many you buy in total, and the best one is $23.00 a card at 25, the most one order holds. More than that? Request a quote and we will price it properly. Free tracked shipping, no minimum. Both sides are engraved, so a message or a line of instructions on the back is included. Ordering for a full guest list, or more than one table with different videos? Request a quote and we will price and split the set.
Before you order
Most couples do one per household rather than one per head, which for 120 guests is usually 70 to 80 cards — more than the 25 self-serve checkout takes in one order. For a set that size, request a quote and we will price the whole run at the same rate the site charges, made and shipped the same way. For a smaller wedding, an intimate party, or one table, order directly: any number up to 25 checks out immediately, at $25 a card from 10 up ($23 at the 25-card cap).
Yes, and it is the best way to do it. Put your names and the date on the front, hand the cards out at the reception, then swap in the wedding film when your videographer delivers it. Every card your guests took home starts playing the real thing — nothing to redo, no second mailing.
It can. Most couples use one video for the whole set, but if you want a different message for each table, or for the parents, email [email protected] with the order and we will set them up separately.
They work well for it — add the guest name to the back and the card does both jobs, which means you are not paying for favors and stationery separately. The back is included, no extra charge.
Every iPhone since 2018 and virtually every Android reads it with nothing installed. For the handful of older phones, the "Hold your phone here" back helps, and you can always send those guests the link directly — it is an ordinary web address.
Yes. Put a password on it and only people you give it to can watch. Some couples leave it open until the last guest has gone home and then lock it — you can change that at any time, from either side of the wedding.
Yes — make the card an occasion page and a box appears at the bottom for it, where anyone holding a card can add a photo or a video from the day. Hold every one for your approval before it shows, or let them appear as guests send them if you would rather not manage a queue. Turn it off any time and the photos come down with it.
Cards are made and shipped within 24 hours, so you do not need months of lead time. Two weeks out is comfortable. If your date is tighter than that, say so at checkout and we will make sure it lands.
For a full guest list, yes — email [email protected] before you order and we will send one card so you can tap it yourself before committing to the whole set.
