用手机发送"结婚请帖"

 　　It is energy-consuming and time-wasting to write and send wedding invitations。

　　In that vein¹, a South Korean company is promoting a mobile² video invitation service that it says saves time, energy and money compared with sending invitations by mail。

　　According to a report Tuesday by the Chosun Ilbo newspaper, "mobile video invitations" differ from traditional paper invitations in that the former feature different options。

　　For example, it's possible to turn a photo or video into an invitation, or make a music video and send it。

　　Some Koreans have tried to make and send video invitations to their friends, but they were frustrated³ at the low-quality images。

　　And the way of sending them one at a time was cumbersome⁴ too。

　　The mass-sending system of the "mobile video invitation" is much more user-friendly。

　　The images are of high quality as well。

　　The average cost for one mobile video invitation is reportedly 400 Korean won (2.4 yuan)， 30 to 40 percent cheaper than sending by mail。

　　"People tend to put the newlyweds' songs, greetings and photos into the mobile video invitation. Jokes are also frequently used," said the supplier of the mobile message。

　　"It is also very convenient for receivers to reply with well wishes."

　　结婚请帖的书写和发送要耗费新人大量时间和精力，韩国一家公司推出“手机视频请帖”业务，与去邮局寄送请帖相比，省时省力又省钱。

　　韩国《朝鲜日报》3月30日报道称，不同于传统纸质请帖，“手机请帖”可融入个人创意，比如将个人的摄影或摄像制成请帖，甚至还可以制作音乐电视形式的请帖进行发送。以前韩国的一些手机爱好者也曾将手机视频制作成请帖发给熟人，但画面质量较差，还要查找每个人号码一条一条发送，而利用“手机请帖”发送系统，制作的请帖效果好又可群发。据悉，发送一条“手机请帖”的费用平均为400韩元(约合2.4元)，比邮寄请帖便宜三四成。

　　报道称，该移动通信内容供应商介绍：“试运营结果显示，将新人一起唱歌及问候语以及新人照片制作成视频请帖的较多，此外还有小幽默等。收到手机请帖的人回复祝贺短信也非常方便。”
