The celebrant would love to recall the lovely moments of the past.

5) Family Members/Colleague Combined Messages

It is an amazing idea to collect the birthday messages from all family members or colleagues and gather them in one video. Even if your family lives far away, you can get video messages in short clips and then combine all of them to create a perfect video with background music, text, effects, stickers, and transitions.

Office colleagues can also follow a theme. They can wear a prop, grab posters, and cheer together. All these things make the celebrant happier.

6) Sharing a Memory

Memories are personalized, and they take the celebrant back in the past. If you have any beautiful and worthy memories with the celebrant, you can explain and share your feelings about that. For instance, if the celebrant has helped you in hard times, you can thank him/her again on the birthday to make him/her realize that you are still grateful. Memories can be anything, such as vacation trips, parties, and office tasks.

7) Birthday Gift Surprise

If you have planned something, it is a good idea to reveal it in a video along with birthday wishes. For instance, if you have planned a trip, you can create a video to wish the celebrant and reveal the surprise in the end.

It is also the perfect idea for kids. If you have bought something for him/her, you can show it in the end. It will make him/her surprised.

8) Sing a Birthday Song

9) Quick Glimpse of the Journey
