Key featuresFeatures of the Save the Date Video Maker
Enter your details, get a finished video
Write your names, date, and venue, then launch your video project. HeyGen builds a finished animation with scenes, transitions, narration, and timing, while AI tools handle the pacing. The text to video engine turns two sentences into a share-ready clip without endless editing.
Customisable save the date video templates
Choose a save the date video template from a gallery of gorgeous designs for weddings, engagement parties and milestone events, from classic and rustic to modern and playful. Customise fonts, colours and layouts in the intuitive drag-and-drop editor until every scene matches your wedding theme.
Narration in your own cloned voice
Record a 30 second sample and AI voice Cloning delivers your heartfelt message in a voice guests recognize as yours. No microphone anxiety, no retakes. Prefer not to record? Pick from dozens of built-in voices in warm, romantic, or playful styles.
Animate Your Engagement Photos
Upload stills or footage from your engagement shoot and the platform sequences them into moving scenes with transitions, animation, and text overlays for your names and date. Mix in stock videos when you want extra scenery, with no manual editing required.
Captions, music, and ready exports
Use our video editor's essential tools to fine tune audio, scene timing, and pacing, then generate accurate captions with the subtitle generator so your announcement reads clearly with the sound off. Export in HD as an MP4 sized for text, email, Instagram, or WhatsApp.
Use cases
Printed save the date invitations cost money and end up in the bin. Create your wedding save the date video, pick a theme, and send a polished invitation video guests keep on their phones and forward to family.
Announcing the engagement on Instagram or TikTok usually means hours in an editing app. Write one short message, add your own creativity, and post a memorable vertical reveal the same day you say yes.
A 50th or retirement party needs guests booked months out. Turn the guest of honor's photos into an unforgettable announcement that names the date and city, so far away family can plan travel early.
Destination weddings need eight to twelve months of notice. Send a video that shows the location, spells out travel dates, and links guests to your wedding website while flights are still affordable.
Editing a slideshow by hand means fiddling with timing and transitions. Upload your shoot and image to video sequences every photo into smooth scenes with romantic music and a closing highlight of your names and date.
Celebrating 25 or 50 years deserves more than a group text. Combine footage from the original wedding day with photos from today, add narration, and give guests an announcement that also works as a keepsake.
How it worksHow the save the date video maker works
HeyGen's video maker is easy to use: go from event details to share-ready video invitations in four steps, with no filming and no editing software.
Choose a wedding or event design. Layout, transitions, and music pacing come pre-set.
Type your names, date, and venue, then upload your engagement photos or short video clips.
Pick a narrator or clone your own voice, then choose a soundtrack that fits the mood.
Download your HD video and send it by text, email, WhatsApp, or post it to social media.
A save the date video maker turns your event details into a short announcement video you send instead of a printed invitation card. You type your names, date, and venue, choose a template, and the AI assembles scenes, narration, and music into a finished clip.
Yes, because every element belongs to the bridal couple: your photos, your wording, your music, and narration in your own cloned voice. The AI handles assembly and timing, not the message, so the video feels like you rather than a stock template.
Upload the photos, choose a template, and the platform sequences them into scenes with transitions and text overlays for your names and date. Add music and narration, then export. Most couples put together a first version in under ten minutes, no pro editor required.
Cover your names, the date, and the city or venue, plus a note that formal wedding invitations will follow closer to your special day. If wording has you stuck, the video script generator drafts a warm message you can edit until it sounds like the two of you.
Most save the date apps are template editors, so you still arrange every scene by hand. HeyGen works as a text to video engine: it builds the whole video invite from your written details, narrates it in your cloned voice, and can localise it for guests overseas.
Video gets watched and shared in ways cards don’t. Agency Videoimagem saw up to a 3x engagement increase across its personalised video campaigns built with HeyGen, and a save the date invite carries the same personal pull.
Yes. Create your save the date video online for free: the free plan lets you build with templates and AI voices and export your first free video to test styles. Paid plans start at $24 per month when you need longer runtimes and more exports.
Export the finished video as an MP4 and attach it in WhatsApp, iMessage, or email, or share a link when the file is large. You can also download it as a GIF, since GIFs autoplay inside most email clients and social feeds.
Six to eight months before your upcoming wedding is the standard window, and eight to twelve months for destination weddings so guests can book travel. Because a video sends instantly, you skip printing and posting lead times entirely.
Yes. Create it once and the AI video translator generates versions in 175+ languages with matched lip-sync and voice, so grandparents in Seoul and cousins in São Paulo each hear your announcement in a language they speak.
