Why Add Music to a Wedding Box?

Music has the power to create emotional connections. When you open a gift box and it starts playing a carefully chosen tune, it takes the experience to the next level. Here are some benefits:

•  Emotional impact: Adds a personal and heartfelt element to your wedding gift.

•  Memorable keepsake: Recipients are more likely to preserve a musical box.

•  Custom audio options: Choose a song, spiritual mantra, wedding vow, or even your own voice.

•  Surprise factor: Catch your guests off guard in the best way possible.

What You’ll Need

To add a music chip to your wedding gift box, you’ll need:

• A music chip module (comes with light sensor, battery, and speaker)

• Double-sided tape or glue

• A wedding gift box (preferably with inner space for concealment)

• Scissors or tweezers (optional)

• Decorative fillers or foam (to cover the chip)

• Patience and care!

At Voice Invitation, we offer both DIY modules and fully assembled custom musical boxes you can order online.

Step-by-Step Guide to Installing a Music Chip

Let’s walk through the installation process based on our hands-on experience and the tutorial featured in our YouTube video.

 Step 1: Open the Wedding Gift Box

Start by carefully opening your wedding box. Most boxes have a decorative interior with foam, flowers, or paper embellishments. You’ll need to remove these inner elements temporarily to access the base of the box.

 Pro Tip: Don’t throw away the decorations—you’ll place them back after installing the chip to maintain aesthetics.

 Step 2: Prepare the Music Chip Module

Unpack your musical module. It typically contains:

• A flat chip (the brain)

• A speaker

• A light sensor

• A small battery with a blue stopper strip

Gently remove the chip from the paper it’s fixed on. Be careful not to damage the wires connected to the light sensor and speaker.

 Step 3: Place the Module at the Bottom

Now place the chip module flat at the bottom of the box. This should be a hidden area that isn’t visible when the box is opened.

Make sure the wires are untangled and positioned neatly. You don’t want them showing or interfering with your decorations.

 Step 4: Secure the Light Sensor

This is a crucial part. The light sensor detects when the box is opened by sensing light, which triggers the music to play.

Place the sensor in one of the corners of the box lid or inner side, where light will fall directly when the box opens. Use double-sided tape or a glue dot to hold it in place.

Make sure the sensor is not obstructed by decorations, as this could affect its ability to detect light.

 Step 5: Fix Everything Firmly

Use extra tape or stickers to secure the module and sensor in place. This prevents them from shifting inside the box when it's moved or transported.

Place a small piece of tape over the speaker and battery area, making sure not to cover the sound hole.

 Step 6: Activate the Chip

You’ll see a blue transparent strip under the battery — this is a protective stopper that prevents battery drain during shipping.

Carefully pull it out. This activates the chip.

 Step 7: Reassemble the Box

Now, place back the decorative elements you removed earlier—foam inserts, flowers, messages, etc. Make sure these do not press too hard on the speaker or light sensor.

Test the setup by:

• Closing the box – the music should stop.

• Opening the box – the music should play as soon as light hits the sensor.

If the sensor is placed correctly, it will trigger the audio playback seamlessly every time the box is opened.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

• Music doesn’t play? Check if the blue battery strip is fully removed.

• Sensor not working? Ensure it’s placed in a well-lit spot and securely fixed.

• Volume too low? Don’t cover the speaker hole with decoration or tape.

• Music keeps playing even when closed? The sensor might be exposed to ambient light—try repositioning or blocking it better when the box is shut.

Bonus: Personalization Ideas

Here are a few creative ways you can personalize your musical gift box:

•  Record your voice with a personal message for the guest.

•  Add a mantra, such as the one used in our Shivji Mantra Box.

•  Play your wedding song when the box opens.

•  Pair it with a printed photo or QR code to a video.
