Bride/groom Video montage good/bad idea?

Hey everyone!
My wedding venue provides a screen to play a video/pic collage during the reception. I'e heard a lot of ideas on how this is done mainly a timeline where photos of the bride/groom as kids are shown, then school days and family, then them as a couple. Unfortunately My fiance family has very few childhood photos of him so i had another idea. When we first started dating 6 years ago I started one of those "1 second a day" video challenges and have kept up all 6 years so needless to say I have a lot of videos of us through our time together. These videos aren't just 1 second but longer videos of every day life, vacations, first apartment, moving, etc.

So my question is, would it be tacky to put together a montage of just videos and clips of us throughout our time together? I'm good with video editing and have done videos in the past so thats not a problem creating and I think I'd like this collage to play in the background of the reception as a extra thing to look at instead of making everyone sit down and watch.

So is a video montage of only us too cheesy or a good idea? Thanks in advance!

I think that sounds like a cool idea.. something for people to casually pay attention to between conversations or while they're waiting for when it's time to eat. I think people would appreciate having that insight into your lives together as they've seen it culminate into this big day.

Agreed! What else did you keep it for if not for a moment like this? - shine! It sounds lovely.

Are you requiring for the reception to stop and look at the slideshow? If not, fill your boots.

I think it would be a great idea honestly. I was interested in doing something like that at my venue but the TVs were too much extra from the DJ so I decided against it.

I think it would be a good idea so long as you’re playing it in the background and not having the reception stop so people can watch.

That’s a sweet idea, but seems like more am of a rehearsal dinner activity to me. I’ve been to parties that have slideshows going, and while you would just want it in the background, a lot of people end up standing by it and watching it for a while. I wouldn’t want everyone watching it instead of dancing at the reception.

We thought about doing the exact same thing! But FH and I aren't exactly the type to take very many photos. I think we have about 10 photos of us from the last 6 years lol. I think you should do it! I personally enjoy seeing those because I get a better sense of what people like to do together

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and opinions
This would definitely be something that would play in the background of the reception or rehearsal dinner. But I'm glad to know so many of you think it's a good idea!!
