If you want to show off photos from your trip to Aruba, your brother’s graduation, or your toddler’s first day of school, Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frames are a great choice. These frames can highlight treasured moments spent with family, friends, and the pets too! Whether you are at home, or at the office, you can always be surrounded by the good times you’ve had, and the special occasions you’ve all shared.

But, did you know that your Nixplay frames can also help with your wedding proposal?

How to Propose with Nixplay

A Global Proposal

By using Nixplay Seed, the photo frame that enables users to instantly upload images from anywhere in the world, you can invite select friends and family to send pictures right to this product. Do they have pictures from when your potential spouse was dressed up in a tux or dress, playing pretend as a kid? Holding a bouquet? Dancing? Ask family and friends to look for pictures with a wedding theme, and bring them all together on the Nixplay Seed. You know your significant other notices everything. When she or he stops to look at these images, get ready with the ring.

Silly Side

Remember that day you two had a caricature done? Hilarious, right? Use it. Write “will you marry me” across the top. Take a pic and upload it to your frame. Let your potential spouse know what you love about them, and pop the question after she or he has finally noticed this new addition. Maybe include something in your proposal about how much you love that you can both be silly and have fun together—and that you’d like to make that permanent.

A Photo Surprise

Surprise your loved one with a NIX digital photo frame. Tell him or her that you have already added some of your favorite images. Make sure the pictures are of special times you’ve shared that span across the entirety of your relationship. It’s fun to include early photos, especially if you have been together for a long period of time. After the last image is complete, suggest snapping a photo of the two of you right now. Afterward, tell your sweetheart that you wanted to capture that moment, because (get down on one knee), this is your proposal.

Show and Tell

Get dressed up. Make a sign that reads, “Will you marry me?” Have a friend snap a photo while you are holding it (you don’t want any selfies for this one). Then, go through your frame and place only images of you and your sweetie on the device. The final image should be the proposal. Casually mention that you’ve updated the frame, and wait for the perfect moment to pop the question.

Sharing the Joy

Your favorite images are always nearby with Nixplay. From the proposal to the wedding, and for the memories that will last a lifetime, let Nixplay share the story.

Mother’s Day was Sunday, and, if you’re lucky enough to live within traveling distance of your mom, you probably took a few pictures together. And why not? Photos are the best way to capture moments and make them last a lifetime. Your mom might take that photo and get it framed, or she might put it up on Facebook for friends and family to see, or maybe she’ll do both. Sharing photos has always been an important way to stay connected, and with the advent of the Internet and social media, it’s become easier than ever.

But what if you couldn’t make it home for Mother’s Day this year? And what if circumstances are such that it’s just not feasible for you to make it out for a visit with any kind of regularity? Your mother would love to see you, your significant other, or maybe the grandkids she’s been missing. If you can’t be there in person,why not, send her a Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frame instead?

With Wifi Cloud Frames from Nixplay, you have the ability to take pictures  – to instantly send and display them on the Nixplay frame at your mom’s house, without printing, or any other hassle. Using the Nixplay app, it’s as easy as snap, send, display, and you can even put captions on the photo for Mom to read.

This means that next Mother’s Day, you can send family pictures to your mom’s Nixplay frame, and she can view them one by one in a slideshow – the next best thing to actually being there with her.

But it’s not just Mother’s Day that brings families together. Think of all the holidays, special events, and milestones in life when you take photos of your family. Are they really better off placed in a photo album, or shared once on social media, and then forgotten? Instead, send them to your mom’s WiFi Cloud Frame for continual display all year long. Or better yet, send them to all of your family members’ WiFi Cloud Frames. Does your brother want to see how much your kids have grown? Send a succession of photos to his Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frame and let him see for himself.

WiFi Cloud Frames change the way your family keeps in touch, because they allow instant sharing no matter the distance. And sharing on Facebook is inherently impersonal; the photo is going to hundreds or even thousands of “friends” online. But when you share photos on a Nixplay Wifi Cloud Frame, you know they’re going to the people who want to see them most, and they’ll be displayed on a high resolution screen.

So try a Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frame today. They’re fantastic gifts for a close-knit family that just happens to live in different states. Contact us or check out our line of WiFi Cloud Frames today.

Have you heard of the Internet of Things? Even if you haven’t, you probably have heard of some of the technology included under this new category – thermostats you can set remotely, home security cameras you can monitor online, even digital WiFi cloud frames you can send photos to in an instant. All of these things fall under the new moniker of the Internet of Things – basically, it’s just another name for any WiFi connected devices other than the standard computers, phones, and tablets.

Tech gurus are raving about the changes the Internet of Things will bring to every aspect of modern life, from work to school to home. But since we’re all about the family here at Nixplay, we decided to share our take on how these connected devices will affect your family life. It just might surprise you!

More Control

It’s not hard to see how connected devices will give you more control over the experiences your family has, and the environment they live in. From being able to make sure the temperature is right when you all get home from work and school each evening, to having the ability to keep an eye on security if your older kids are home alone, remote access to important home systems gives you significantly more control over your family life.

More Freedom

The fact that most tech included in the Internet of Things can be controlled remotely means that you’re no longer tethered to a certain location or time when you want to get certain things done. You’re free to take care of whatever you need to do at any time, and in any place. This frees you from worries, as well, giving you the peace of mind that yes, you can lock the front door from your workplace, even if you forgot on your way out, or no, you don’t have to worry about that new babysitter, since you can keep an eye on her from your tablet the whole time you’re out.

More Focus on Family

Finally, all of this new technology allows families to renew their focus on – each other. When you’ve got a million worries and to-dos running through your head, even if they’re insignificant on their own, they add up, and take away from your focus. But when you know all your bases are covered, you can relax and devote your full attention to your family. Some Internet of Things tech even makes a focus on the family its main goal – like Nixplay’s WiFi photo frames. Our digital photo frames not only make precious family memories the centerpiece of any room, with the slideshow of your favorite pictures playing on a loop, they also allow families to connect, no matter how far apart they live, by allowing users to upload photos to family members’ frames remotely for instant display.

Giving families more control, more freedom, and more room in their lives to connect with each other, the Internet of Things is definitely a big step in the right direction. We hear so much about how technology can pull family members apart – it’s refreshing to know that there is a movement to use tech to bring people closer together, too. And we’re proud to be on the forefront of that movement. Check out our selection of WiFi Cloud Frames  to choose which ones you’ll give to family and friends.
