    That sounds like a fun idea!  It might be expensive, though.  If its cinematic style I don't think it will be too cheesy.  

    If you are all from OOT and it's on a long weekend, you should send it early.  We sent out or STD's in December and our wedding is August, and most guests are from around the city.  Which long weekend is it?

    I did this too!
    We got married May 15 this year and it was sent out in November. People loved it, not cheesy at all - if it's filmed and edited the right way.

    miellen - I forgot to ask how you sent out your video? I want to create a private page on FB and only show it to guests...don't know how yet...or maybe just email it out....

    Oh that will be perfect.  My absolute favorite time at the cottage is Thanksgiving.  It is stunning up there.  I'm doing my "trash the dress" session up there on Thanksgiving this year because I want a picture with the water and the colourful leaves, etc.  FI's cousin is our photographer so she would be there anyway to take family photos (it's tradition).  You will have a beautiful wedding!

    It was part of our wedding website, which had a password to get in.
    I also emailed it out to some people - it was uploaded on vimeo so they could just see it there!
