  • Prenuptial slideshow – contains pictures taken during the prenuptial pictorial (if the instruction is to loop it, then sometimes, the audio is either muted or the editor/slideshow producer omits adding music to the slideshow before saving it)
  • Prenuptial video – contains footage taken during the prenuptial shoot — usually a love story AVP or an AVP that showcases the theme of the wedding (travel, movies, vintage, etc.)
  • Save the date video/teaser – a short clip showcasing what was done during the prenup, meant to entice guests to watch the full length video and attend the wedding of the bride and groom
  • Opening Billboard or OBB – also a short clip or a teaser which plays only for about 1 ½ It is played before the grand entrance of the couple within the reception programme. It may contain a bit of the growing up years or some prenup shots or both.
