Slideshow Template?

Michelle, on June 23, 2019 at 5:43 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 5

My fiance and I have been gathering pictures for a slideshow at our reception. I haven't used powerpoint since high school. I was wondering if anyone had a template that they used or would care to share?


Thanks!

    Hey Michelle!

    A slideshow at your reception will look great! Your guests will love getting a glimpse of you both throughout the years!

    It is very simple to create a Powerpoint slideshow without a template. You simply just dedicate one photo per slide, you can add text slides or captions over your photos if you wish. To add some fun transitions, all you have to do is click on ‘Transitions’ on the top menu and choose the one you like. Once you are happy that everything is the way you want it, you can view the slideshow from the beginning to see the finished product.

    Hi there Michelle!

    This is a really cute idea Smiley smile

    Have you searched online for a powerpoint template? You can often find free ones to download from either Microsoft or other people Smiley smile

    Will the slideshow be on constantly in the background, or will it be shown once?

    Hi! I searched the templates, googled, even looked on etsy. There wasn't one specific to wedding receptions. What I found was templates to make a slideshow of the pictures FROM the wedding.

    I plan to have on repeat during the cocktail hour only.

    Yeah, I get the concept of PowerPoint. I just hate to be building from scratch with only 3.5 weeks to my wedding.

    Oh my mistake Michelle! I thought you were having trouble creating a slideshow!Smiley smile

    If you can't find a template that is specific to wedding receptions, perhaps you could find one that incorporates you and your SO's interests, like a hobby or travelingSmiley laugh
