Custom animated save-the-dates
Every couple has one story they tell badly at parties. The night she almost stayed home. The seat the alphabet assigned him. We turn yours into a little animated film, and send it to everyone you love before the invitations even go out.
The difference
By June, every card on the fridge looks like the last one. Same eucalyptus. Same gold frame. Same swirly font. Yours will be the one they call you about.
How it works
Answer a few warm questions and send your favorite photos. The messier and more real the story, the better it animates.
We build a custom cinematic short around your actual love story: your look, your moment, your names. Not a template.
Send it by text, email, or social, then watch the replies roll in. It's the save-the-date people actually reply to.
The transformation
You send us one photo and the true story behind it. This is what your guests get back.
Every film is built from one real photo and the true story behind it. Tap any card to watch.
Why couples love it
Built around the true, specific way you met. Never a fill-in-the-blank template.
Warm, cinematic 3D animation with the glow of a beloved animated film.
Sent by text, opened on a phone, played again for whoever walks into the room.
Play it at the wedding, the anniversary, the someday. It never yellows in a drawer.
Pricing

Start your storyFor big weddings and long guest lists.
You pay $747, you keep $795
Start your storyThree to five minutes of the two of you, animated at full length, playing on every screen at your reception. Your grandmother will cry. Your friends will film it on their phones. Somebody will ask who made it before the song is over. Add it to any package.
Add anything on its own
Your love story as a song: we write and record an original song about how you met, then animate the film to it. The Social Cut: the same film with the date and location removed, so you can post it publicly without sharing your wedding details.
Not sure which fits? Tell us your story and we'll recommend one. Custom quotes always welcome.
Good to know
Most films are ready in about 10 days from the moment we have your story and photos. Need it sooner? The Premiere package includes priority delivery.
Yes. We build each character from your real engagement photos, so the animated you actually resembles you, same hair, same warmth, same little details.
Just the true story of how you met (even the awkward version, especially that one), a few favorite photos, and your names, date, and city. That's it.
Between 30 and 90 seconds depending on your package. Short enough to keep, long enough to make everyone feel something.
You choose the shape: vertical for texting and Instagram, or widescreen for email and your wedding website. Want both? Add the second format for $125. We can also send a printable card with a QR code that opens your film.
Every package includes revision rounds so it lands exactly right. See pricing above, and custom quotes are always welcome.
Start your story
Three quick questions. No pressure, no obligation. Just the start of something lovely.
We'll be in touch within 24 hours to start bringing the two of you to life.
