If so, tell me about it :) Program that you used, songs chosen, how to arrange the photos, how many minutes?

I am wondering if I should do all him, then all me, or alternate back and forth from baby to grown up of me and him, and then the family and friend group pictures, and then just us?

What is everyone else doing?

@europomme: We're doing one....we're going to alternate pictures of me and him growing up around the same age, then towards the end show pictures of the two of us together. Still trying to get ideas and figure out which songs to play during.

Thanks!! I think thats what I'm leaning towards too. For the growing up pics, I was thinking of using "it's a wonderful world" song... then for the ones of us together, it can transition into either A: Colbie Calliat - You Got Me, or B: Plain White T's - 1,2,3,4

Still researching other songs though :)

Anyone else?? I am also trying to figure out what program to use, I dont have a Mac.

My BM made a slideshow for us. It started with me as a baby and growing up, then DH as a baby and growing up. Then it showed photos of us together during our relationship and our engagement photos. It was all done on PowerPoint. I think it ended up being about 10 minutes or so.

We are getting married at the beach and then a month later we are having

our reception. So, we are making a slide show out of the wedding ceremony, I hope. My mom makes them with her Mac. That's all I know.

I'm hoping to have enough time to do this... I've made slideshows and videos before with Windows Movie Maker and thought it worked great.

Our church actually has two screens that will play our slideshow before the ceremony. That way people will have something to entertain them while they wait. I have a mac but I am probably just going to do it in powerpoint..the mac video program is confusing..and alternating between pictures of me and him (from babies to now) and then going into the together pictures.
