For a big birthday

A group birthday video from everyone they love

Send one link to the group chat. Everyone records a short toast from their phone, and on the day it arrives as one film.

A slice of birthday cake

How it works

  1. Send one link.Put it in the group chat or an email. Nobody needs an app or an account.
  2. Everyone records a toast.Up to a minute each, with easy questions if they get stuck. They can add up to three photos.
  3. You shape the film.You pick the music, who’s in it, the order and the words. We do the editing that would take you hours, trimming every toast and cutting the ums and ahs.
  4. It arrives on the day.By email at the time you choose, or gather everyone round the TV and press play together. You can also see their reaction.

The gift for someone who has everything

A 40th or a 70th brings out people from every part of someone’s life, and most of them will never be in one room. The school friend overseas can be in this film beside the grandkid who only talks to the camera for ten seconds.

People tend to say things in a toast they’d never write in a card. That’s why it works for someone who doesn’t want more stuff.

What should everyone say?

We keep a list of questions for each person in their life, all easy to answer on the spot. Questions for a birthday video.

Questions

Their birthday is tomorrow. Is it too late?

Probably not. Everyone records in a minute or two, right from the link, so even a couple of hours is plenty.

Can we keep it a surprise?

Yes. Only people with your link can record, and it reaches them by email at the time you choose. Or gather everyone round the TV and press play together.

Does anyone need to download an app?

No. Everyone opens your link on their phone or computer and records right there, with no app and no account.

How much does it cost?

Nothing while we’re in early access.
