Got a Vacation Bible School program? Spread the word with Inviter!

Send a video invitation to get this year's enrollment off to a great start.

It’s vacation bible school season!

Whether this is your church’s first go-round, or if your congregation has been doing this for years, Inviter KNOWS that sending a video invitation is the best way to get parents and students excited about the fun this year. Here are some tips to include in your video invitation to make it as amazing as your VBS program!

Use photos from previous events

Your church is active in the community, so even if you haven’t done a VBS program before, you probably have digital photos of outdoor and indoor activities that will get students excited. Collect those, and even hard-copy photos that you can scan, and use them to paint the picture of what parents and students can expect this summer.

Pick your favorite video creator app

We recommend iMovie for iPhone users and Androvid for Droid users. But, there are plenty of FREE apps available for you to add cool effects before you upload your video to the Inviter site.

Don’t forget the details!

When creating your video, don’t forget to add a slide giving pricing, dates, and event details as well as special notes on what to bring for the semester.

Set a schedule

Schedule when you want your first email to go out, and let us know when you’d like to send reminder emails throughout your VBS program. You may want to include details about an upcoming field trip, or just give an update on how the program is going to keep parents in touch. Totally up to you! We also track the responses so you can have a good head count of how many students will be attending.

Don’t break the bank!
