Video Greetings and Invitations

Introduction

The marriage of technology and greeting cards has moved to next level. Recently the concept of the video postcard has been reintroduced to the public. It has been around a long time on the Internet. Most greeting card companies have online greeting card sites as well as e-greetings. There are sites that allow a user to upload a video and send it around the world now the two are permanently linked as invitations and greeting are being made into mini-movies and uploaded to share with family and friends. The video invitation generation has been born and it has taken off with a great start.

The home of the new businessman is the Internet. And now there are online Greeting card stores that offer you more than just the simple online version of a standard card. Sound sights and pictures are being added to give the card a more human touch. The impersonal has become very real and personal. Seeing the joy of a couple as they say their vows was before only accomplished by waiting for a DVD to be shipped to you via snail mail. But with video invitation the couple can upload their video to a site that allows family that are overseas or down the block to witness it the same day.

Video Invitation is not a new invention, it is taking the inventions that are here and making each one better by using the best parts of them all. Innovation is making this world a smaller place to live. Combining the sentimentality of the greeting card and the excitement of the invitation and reaching back to the centuries old town crier concept video invitation will be around for sometime. It is worth watching to see its continued evolution.History of greeting cards

The use of formal announcement has been around since ancient China and Egypt. The aristocracy of both cultures was known to send written proclamation around their towns, to each other and to the monarchs of other kingdoms. The Egyptians used papyrus scrolls to send elaborately decorated demands for attendance at births and weddings, coronations and burials. In biblical times they also used scrolls to announce great events. In ancient china the emperor was known to have sent out invitations on gold tablets. The 1400's found the Germans using woodcuts to pass on New Year's greetings. People gave travelers that were heading to distant cities messages to pass on. As early as the fifteenth century the English were celebrating Valentines Day with cards. There is a sample of one on display ate the British Museum. The wealthy were the ones who used these means most as they could both afford them and read them. The average citizen was illiterate and use word of mouth greetings or symbols. The greetings were hand delivered and cost a lot because each one had to be hand made. Printing and the postal service made sending and receiving greetings a lot easier.

History of wedding invitations

There have archaeological reports of what seemed to be invitations in caves. For certain in the 1700's the town crier was a walking breathing greeting card. He could be summoned to a home and paid to deliver either a private message or a public one. The town crier was often heard from street to street announcing weddings, births of importance and deaths. He was also responsible for relaying any edicts and the heralding of the bans for noble weddings. Wealthy families sometimes hired monks who were known for their skill in calligraphy. They would produce elegant scrolls and the seal or crest of the noble born was added for those who could not read. Towns had scribes who were paid to read their missives and to write letters for them.
History of video

It started with Phonovision in 1927, this was one of the first experiments in recording and playing back sound and pictures. 1956 and moving pictures had advanced from the big screen to the television. This gave birth to the fires commercial video format known as the 2inch quadroplex. As technology improved so did the video format. There were 8mm with their reel to reel, then the cartridge format and that was replaced in the 70's with laser disc. The 90's brought with it VHS and BETA videocassette recorders. They lasted a little while only to be replaced with digital video recording know to most as just DVD. The recorders and players all run on a purely digital format. The digital picture has infinite possibilities as they are being transmitted without wires or cables. The age of wireless video has brought with it this new innovation.

Gibson J-250 Monarch Acoustic Guitar Antique Natural $19999 The Gibson J-250 Acoustic is one of the most dazzling guitars ever built by Gibson - or anybody else. Rich Gibson Heritage The artisans at Gibson took the iconic crown inlays of the J-200 fretboard and headstock and made them even more regal and realistic looking to represent the class and rich heritage of the Monarch guitar. Both have extremely intricate inlay patterns that are executed with incredible precision containing multiple inlays within inlays of mother-of-pearl and Paua abolone. Hand-crafted Monarch Detailing The delicate volute at the hand stop at the rear of the headstock is hand executed on equally matched bound ebony. The J-250 Monarch is veneered with the guitar's serial number displayed in the banners of the mother-of-pearl inlay. The Quintessence of Gibson Quality The extra fretboard ebony binding harkens back to the classiest guitars of the jazz era of the '30s. The complete coverage of body joints with extra wide paua shell, a 3-piece back, and a new floral tortoise pickguard engraving are all done to surpass all fine guitars including the flagship Gibson model J-200. Regal Gibson Presentation Finely detailed appointments on the classy Monarch guitar: multi-ply body binding with abalone inlay, ebony moustache bridge with abalone inlays, genuine diamond gem "I" Gibson logo setting, and gold tuners all come together under a lacquer finish to unfold in a regal visual presentation. Sublimely sophisticated tone emanates from the guitar's solid select Sitka spruce top and Madagascar rosewood back and sides. The Eastern Curly Maple neck provides additional warm resonance. As a 1-time edition of 6, the Gibson Monarch guitar also includes a 20th anniversary Monarch label, 20th anniversary certificate of authenticity to ensure its rarity and notoriety. Gibson could sell many more a year, but the selection criteria for materials and the extra time to build keep the J-250 Monarch acoustic's numbers low, making each guitar very special.
