FAQs
How long can my message be?
Please keep your message text to a maximum of 100 words so that it will fit on our Program Screen. Generally speaking, the shorter the better – that just makes sure our guests will have time to read them!
Where will my message be displayed?
Your message will be shared on our large Program Screen during the event itself and will be rotated throughout the evening on our slideshow. If we have space in our printed Program Booklet, we may be able to share a select number of messages in there, too.
Can I share a photo?
Yes, absolutely! We have space to share one photo per message.
