AR wedding cards — invitations, thank-yous, and keepsakes that play your video

Printed AR wedding cards that play a personal video when the recipient holds up their phone. For invitations, thank-you cards, and memories that last forever.

A wedding is one day. An AR wedding card is how you make it last. It is a real printed card — invitation, thank-you, or keepsake — linked to a personal video that plays in augmented reality when the recipient holds their phone over the printed image.

The card looks beautiful and traditional. It feels substantial in the hands. But hold a modern smartphone up to the front of it and the video plays — in the browser, with no app needed. The moment comes alive.

ARVideoCards creates printed AR cards from any video you upload. The process takes about 3 minutes. We handle printing and worldwide delivery.

How to make an AR wedding invitation

  1. Film a short video (30–60 seconds). Film the venue, the couple, or a personal message to guests.
  2. Go to ARVideoCards.app and upload the video.
  3. Scrub to the frame that should be printed on the card — a portrait of the couple, a shot of the venue, or a graphic title frame.
  4. Enter the recipient's postal address.
  5. We print the AR invitation and mail it. The recipient holds up their phone and the video plays.

The power of a physical card in 2025

Most people get hundreds of digital messages a week. A physical card in the mailbox still surprises people. An AR wedding invitation does not just arrive — it performs. Guests talk about it. They show it to their partners. They hold up their phone to demonstrate.

For thank-you cards, an AR card sent after the wedding lets guests relive the day. You attach a clip from the ceremony or reception, pick the best frame, and mail it. Every person on your list gets a physical card with a moment from your wedding that plays every time they pick it up.

How couples use AR wedding cards

AR wedding invitations

Send an AR invitation that plays a video of the venue, the couple, or a personal message. The printed card arrives looking like a regular invitation — but hold a phone up to it and the video plays. Guests will talk about it.

AR thank-you cards

After the wedding, send printed AR cards to every guest with a video message from the couple. The video could be a clip from the reception, a personal thank-you, or a highlight from the day.

Wedding memory keepsake

Print a single frame from the ceremony or reception onto a card and link it to the full video. A physical keepsake that plays the memory forever — for the couple, parents, and closest family.

International wedding guests

If guests or family are overseas, an AR wedding card is how you include them. The printed card arrives worldwide, and when they hold up their phone, they experience the moment.

AR wedding cards — FAQ

What is an AR wedding card?

An AR wedding card is a printed physical card — invitation, thank-you, or keepsake — that plays a personal video when the recipient holds their smartphone over it. The printed image is the trigger; the video plays in augmented reality in the browser. No app needed.

Can I use AR cards as wedding invitations?

Yes. You film a short invitation video — the venue, the couple, a message — and link it to a printed card. The invitation arrives looking elegant and traditional. When the recipient holds up their phone, the video plays. It is an invitation that no one forgets.

Can I order bulk AR wedding cards?

Yes. You can create multiple cards for different recipients, each with the same video or personalised messages. Contact ARVideoCards via the support page for large-order pricing.

How soon before the wedding should I order AR cards?

For invitations, order at least 4–6 weeks before the event to allow for production, delivery, and the lead time guests need to respond. For thank-you cards, allow 10–14 business days for international delivery.

Do AR wedding cards need an app to view?

No. The recipient opens a short URL in their browser (Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android), points the camera at the printed front, and the video plays. No download. No account. No friction.
