Milestone birthdays bring together people from every part of a life. For a 40th, invite college friends, coworkers and family. For a 60th or 80th, add grandchildren, old neighbors and friends who live far away. Each person records a birthday wish, a funny story or a favorite memory. The most successful Tributes invite about 30 people.
Start a Birthday TributePick the birthday date and a deadline for messages. Share your Tribute link by email, text or QR code. Guests record from any phone or computer, with no app to download, and automatic reminders keep them on track. Arrange the clips yourself, or let our Concierge editors finish the video for you. Then play it at the party or send it on the big day. See the prices below.
