Our Mission:
"Free Spirit Promotions (publisher of Big Blend Magazine) is a company based on the belief that education is the most formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance and prejudice. It is our belief that education starts at home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately to world peace. Our company is further based on the principle that networking, communication, and helping others to promote and market themselves leads to financial stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel, and the spirit of giving back to the community."

Free & Personalized Digital Wedding Albums
Brides and Grooms can add voice narration to their digital wedding albums with Yodio, which offers the ability to record guests’ comments at the wedding and after, and attach these comments to digital photos to create a Personalized Digital Wedding Photo Album.

Yodio gives couples the unique ability to affordably record guests’ comments at the wedding and after.  The recorded memories can be attached to digital photos to create a memory-packed, voice-narrated wedding album that can be easily shared via the internet, e-mails, and embedded players (similar to YouTube). From bridal showers to the reception, cell phones can be used to record voice comments into their personal wedding account at Yodio.  Digital photos can be uploaded, and a narrated slide show can be created with the many voice recordings and digital photos.  Collect digital photos from the wedding, add guests’ commentary, and the bride can easily assemble a memory-rich digital album at literally no cost.  Users can create cover photos and title slides with Power Point or similar soft wares to produce a highly personalized, near-professional, yet very affordable wedding album that captures the spirit and memories. Using any image, photo or piece of art, users can record via a cell phone (or upload an MP3 recording) and attach a full size (up to a 10 MB) digital photo.

According to the number one online wedding site, the knot.com recommends one of its top ways to save is passing on the pricey details. Cutting costs while creating memory-rich photo shows are attractive.  Yodio enables easy recording of guests’ comments while cutting costs through the user-generation of the comments, photos, and electronic album.  It’s very personalized and quickly done to share the wedding memories very shortly after the wedding. It is an effective way for couples looking to pinch pennies yet share their wedding experience with their friends and family shortly after the wedding, particularly with those who were unable to attend. 

As an easy way to cut wedding expenses while heightening the personalization of the memories, Yodio offers a custom toll-free number for wedding guests to use.  The website includes templates for brides to use to invite guest participation at the wedding or reception.  As a free service, Yodio aids wedding savings while maximizing guest participation and memory collection.  

One Yodio using bride explains her decision to implement Yodio for her wedding. “I wanted the formal photographs from the professional photographer, but I also wanted an easy way to capture my friends and family being themselves while celebrating my wedding. Then it struck me, everyone and everything is online now. I can still have the tradition of personalized photos without the expense of disposable cameras on the reception’s tables or adding another photography expense.  Using Yodio, the guests can use their cell phones to call-in memories and friends can submit their digital photos, then all I needed to do is drag-and-drop these recordings and photos to create a fun and personalized narrated photo show.  And it’s already set up to be embedded on FaceBook or other websites, as well as being easily shared with e-mail links.  It’s expensive to print out all those photos, and sending it online is the modern effective, efficient method of communication. People were able to see any personalized image of our choice and we were able to record our own narration as well as the individualized messages by friends and family. Since Yodio is free, it dramatically cut costs, saved immense amount of time and also allowed us to add a personal touch I could not get from sharing a link on a photo storage site or attaching photos to e-mail messages.”

 This free service, exclusively from www.YodioWeddings.com allows users to embed a Yodio player into any blog or webpage – but unlike other current methods, Yodio offers a complete narrated slide show that can be displayed in high quality using full screen mode for photos.  Non-wedding audio/photo presentations can be produced at www.yodio.com site for those wedding guests wishing to share their memories of the wedding in their own voice and at no cost.  For more way to use Yodio, click here.
