Kedai Photo

We wrote about Kedai Photo in our Mitzvah Mail newsletter that hit your email inbox yesterday, but we so love Kedai we feel the need to blog about it too! And in case you missed the newsletter, here's the scoop:

Kedai is a service that sets up shop at your Mitzvah. They allow guests to insert their digital camera cards into their equipment so the photos can be displayed during the night on a large screen also supplied by Kedai! Plus, the Kedai system burns all of these images so that the party hosts go home with ALL THE GUESTS PHOTOS! No more bugging friends to email you those great photos they took during your event. We call this capturing the moment, in the moment!

Learn more at Kedai Photo's Website.

Stimulus Package

Recently, at the Celebrate! Party Showcase in Old Greenwich, Conn., we met photographer Lawrence Greller of Lawrence Greller Photography and Video. Very nice man! He handed us a flyer that included details on his "stimulus package" - basically his discounted photography packages meant to help families keep costs down for their Mitzvahs. We like it!

Ask the Mitzvah Vendors you are considering hiring if they have any "stimulus packages." They may be willing to negotiate with you to help you keep your party planning costs down.

Didn't get the chance to attend the Showcase?! Check out our Virtual Showcase Blog. You can learn more about Lawrence Greller Photography and Video and the other vendors who attended.
