Wedding video titles: what to write and where to put it
Wedding video titles are the few words on screen that name the couple, the date and the place, and sometimes a line from the vows. Done well, they frame the film without competing with it. WeddingEditor does not add titles. WeddingEditor delivers the edited Highlight Reel or Social Teaser as a 1080p MP4 with no on-screen text from WeddingEditor, so you can set your own names and dates in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro, in your studio's typeface.
Creating an account is free; you only pay when you are ready to start an edit.
Title ideas that work in wedding films
Starting points for the text you add after the edit arrives.
Names and date as the opening card
The simplest title is the couple's first names and the wedding date, set small and held long enough to read twice. It tells future viewers whose day this is, which matters more than it seems once the film is shared beyond the couple's own family.
Place as a quiet second line
The venue or town under the names gives the film a sense of where, which couples tend to value more as years pass.
A line from the vows
A short phrase the couple said, set over a still moment near the end, can close the film more personally than a logo. Ask the couple before using private words publicly.
Your studio credit at the very end
A small credit after the last shot keeps your brand on every share without interrupting the story.
What counts as a title in a wedding video
Titles are any text designed to appear over or between shots: opening cards with names and date, lower thirds naming speakers during toasts, chapter cards in longer films, and end credits. Wedding films use far fewer titles than corporate or documentary work, because the audience already knows the people. The usual rule is to keep text short, readable on a phone, clear of faces and on screen long enough to be read comfortably. Typeface matters: many studios pick one serif or script face and use it on every film, which becomes part of their recognizable style. Titles are among the last things added in an edit, after the picture is locked, so that timing changes do not leave text sitting over the wrong shot. Color also matters: white text with a soft shadow survives most backgrounds better than colored text.
Not the same as captions or subtitles. Titles are designed text you choose; captions transcribe what people say.

Wedding video titles questions
What are good wedding video title ideas?
Start with the couple's first names and the date, add the venue or town on a second line, and consider a short vow phrase for the ending. Keep the wording personal and short; the film does the rest.
Does WeddingEditor include wedding title templates?
No. WeddingEditor does not provide title templates, free or paid. Your editing application's own titles, or a template you already use, can be placed over the delivered MP4.
What should the title be when I upload a wedding film to YouTube?
Many studios use the couple's names, the venue and the word wedding film, for example names first, then place. Keep the private details the couple prefer not to share out of public titles.
How long should a title stay on screen?
Long enough to read twice at a calm pace. Short names need less time than a vow quote. Check on a phone screen, where small text is harder to read.
Can WeddingEditor add the couple's names for me?
No. WeddingEditor adds no on-screen text. Add names in your editor after you download the edit.
Should titles go over faces?
Avoid it. Place text in empty sky, walls or dark areas of the frame, and keep it away from the edges so platform interfaces do not cover it.
Do I add titles before or after revisions?
After. Use the included revision rounds (up to two) to settle the cut first, then add titles to the final version so you only do the text once.
Which font works for wedding titles?
A clean serif or a restrained script reads well on most screens. Pick one face and one weight for the whole film, and test it in white and dark versions against both bright outdoor shots and dim reception footage.
Do lower thirds belong in a wedding film?
Sometimes, during toasts, when guests watching later may not know who is speaking. Use the speaker's first name and relation to the couple, such as the bride's sister, keep it on screen for a few seconds after they start, and match the typeface of your opening card so the film feels consistent.
Should a Social Teaser have titles?
Often just the names, shown briefly at the start or end. Short social films are watched quickly, sometimes without sound, so one clear text card does more than several.
