Microsoft Wants To Be A Part Of Your Big Day

Microsoft organised a staged wedding event in Toronto, Canada to demonstrate the technologies that couples can use to enhance their Big Day. Microsoft wants to promote the use of its technology products in wedding planning, organisation and execution.

Microsoft’s “wedding guests” were guided through software and online tools that can help them create invitations, organise photographs, build customised Web sites, and create DVDs. Attendees also signed an electronic guest book on a tablet PC that converted their signatures to text.

The company stressed that the everyday technologies built by Microsoft allow people to customise their weddings to suit their tastes. Microsoft also showed off software that would enable brides to create customised reception menus, seating charts, place cards and design reception hall layouts.

The “wired wedding” event wasn’t limited to media creation. The company also demonstrated the Zune MP3 player, which makes its debut in Canada this month, and suggests that couples can use technologies like the Zune, which can hold customised playlists, to replace DJs at the reception.
