Can I download the card as an MP4?
There's no video export button, because the card has to stay live for RSVPs and edits. To get a video, screen-record your phone while scrolling the card. The result is a normal video file you can share anywhere.

How to Make a Digital Wedding Card Video for Status & Stories
The easy way to make a wedding card video: choose a card that already moves, fill in your details, add a song, then screen-record your phone while you scroll through it. Fifteen minutes later you've got a clip for WhatsApp Status, Instagram Stories or TikTok, and the same card link goes to guests for RSVPs. The video gets attention. The link does the work.
How to make a digital wedding card video, step by step
- 1
Choose a moving design
In the catalogue, look for cards that move: Tirai Baldu (a curtain opens), Bertaut Kasih (the camera glides into a courtyard) or Taman Mawar (falling petals). A still card can be recorded too, but the video will feel flat.

Fill in your details
Names, date, time, venue and programme. Check the spelling of names twice. Once a video is out on Status it's hard to pull back.
- 3
Add music
Paste a YouTube link for background music. It plays when the card opens, so your screen recording picks up the sound.
- 4
Publish, then screen-record
Open the card link on your phone. On iPhone, start Screen Recording from Control Centre. On Android, use Screen recorder in quick settings and choose to record media sound. Scroll slowly from the cover down to the programme, 15 to 30 seconds.
- 5
Trim and share
Trim the start and end in Photos or CapCut. Post to Status or Stories and put the card link in the caption so people can RSVP.
Tips for a clean-looking video
- Scroll slowly and evenly. The card moves with your finger, so a fast flick makes the video jerky.
- Turn on Do Not Disturb first. A WhatsApp notification popping up mid-video ruins it.
- Record in portrait. Status, Stories and TikTok are all vertical.
- Pause for two seconds on the names and the date. That's what people need to read.
- If your song is copyrighted, Instagram may mute the video. Pick audio from Instagram's or TikTok's library when you upload.
A video alone isn't an invitation
Video is great for the announcement. People watch, get excited, reply 'tahniah!'. But a video can't collect RSVPs, can't be tapped to open Waze, and can't be edited when the hall changes.
So use both. The video for Status and Stories. The card link for the WhatsApp broadcast and the family group, because that's where guests RSVP, open the map and leave wishes. The makcik who asks 'dewan kat mana?' just taps the Waze button.
| Video (screen recording) | Card link | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Status, Stories, TikTok | WhatsApp broadcast, family group |
| RSVP | No | Yes |
| Waze / Maps button | No | Yes |
| Edit after sharing | No, re-record | Yes, same link |
| Cost | Free, record it yourself | From RM10 one-time |
Hire a designer for the video?
Wedding card video designers usually charge from around RM80 to a few hundred ringgit depending on length and animation. The results can be beautiful. But each revision may cost extra, and you still need a separate RSVP system.
With a moving card, the animation is already built into the design. Your own screen recording becomes the video, and the same card is the invitation with RSVP.
Wedding card video FAQ
Why does my screen recording have no sound?
On iPhone, make sure the phone isn't on silent. On Android, choose 'media sound' in the screen recorder settings. The card's music also needs to be playing. Tap the music button if it doesn't start on its own.
How long should a wedding card video be?
15 to 30 seconds. WhatsApp Status cuts videos at 60 seconds, and people rarely watch longer clips to the end.
Which cards look best recorded?
Cards that move as you scroll, like Tirai Baldu, Bertaut Kasih, Rimba Joglo and Taman Mawar. You can see them all on the 3D digital wedding card page.
Can I make one for TikTok?
Yes. Record in portrait, then add a song from TikTok's library when uploading. Put the card link in your bio or a comment if you want RSVPs.
