Say Goodbye in Style with a Group Video Gift
Retirement is a milestone worth celebrating in style! Instead of the usual gifts, let's make this retirement unforgettable with a group video gift.
Easily gather messages and memories from colleagues, friends, and family and create a heartfelt video that captures the essence of their career and the impact they've had on everyone around them.
Let's bid farewell in a way that's as unique and special as the retiree themselves.
How it works
Creating a Group Video is quick, fun, and easy!
STEP 1
Send Invites
Invite friends & family to record a video message on any device. No need for anyone to log in or download an app.
STEP 2

Use our drag and drop tool, add your own video, pictures and music, and voila – an awesome video!
STEP 3

On the big day, share your creation with your special someone. Let them shower you with appreciation!
Make Their Retirement One to Remember
Celebrate a lifetime of achievements and memories with a personalized group video gift for retirement! Gather messages from colleagues, friends, and family to honor their dedication, accomplishments, and the impact they've made.
And you can choose from two styles! for your video.
- Classic Video Style: Create a timeless montage capturing cherished moments and heartfelt messages in just 5 minutes. No technical skills needed!
- Q&A Video Style: Elevate your gift to "spectacular" with our unique Q&A video style. With this version, you can ask contributors fun and meaningful questions and prompts like "Who would play the retiree in a movie?" or "Share a favorite memory with them." The result? A retirement group video that's meaningful, engaging, and truly magnificent. By focusing on one question at a time, contributors share genuine and heartfelt responses that make the video unforgettable. It's a joyful experience for everyone involved!

No need for anyone else to create an account (other than you).
They can be any length they wish. And if you decide some are too long, you can trim it in the app.
Yes. Your invitation link or email can be forwarded to anyone. It's a great way to add more contributors.
Yes. With Celebrate, you can reprocess the video with additions and changes any time you want — no extra charge 😄
It can be any length you wish. The final video typically is about 20-30 minutes although we’ve seen some as long as an hour and more. Go ahead and have some fun with it — the more contributors, the merrier!
Producers (that’s you) have complete control. We don’t automatically share with anyone. Instead, we give you the tools so you can share it (or not share it) with whoever you wish
We have lots of fun ways to add your creative touch.
• Add music — use our stock music or add your own tunes
• Add Pictures
• Add Stickers
• Add text on top of pictures and videos
• Add GIFs (one of the extra special touches of our app that our users love to use!)
Yes. We have a range of stock music that is free for you to use. We only need to show their names in the credits at the end of your video.
We also have music from guest musicians — Indie artists. We hope to add more over time if this idea is a hit.
And you can also upload your own favorite tunes!
Yes, to your heart’s content. A great way to do that is to add a bunch of pictures in a row and add some music underneath — it creates a great vibe!
That totally depends on how long it takes your friends and family to respond. Your own time can be as little as 15 minutes. It’s good to plan at least a little bit ahead so Contributors have some time to think about what they’ll say. On the other hand, they often wait for the last minute anyway so there’s often not much benefit to planning TOO far ahead. The fastest “OMG - it’s his birthday!” video we’ve heard about from our members took just 3 hours total elapsed time! In a case like that one, be sure to plead “PLEASE HURRY” on your video request (we guide you through it in the app).
If you only re-order video clips, you can do this in 15 minutes. On the other hand, many of our members love adding things like GIFs, cards, pictures, music. So really, it can take you as long or short as you wish. The main thing is to have fun with it. Whatever you do, we know your gift receiver will love it!
So far, we’ve heard from members in their late 60’s telling us how easy it was to do. And we’ve also heard they’ve had videos contributed by friends/relatives in their 70's! So go ahead try it out — it’s free to try. You might be pleasantly surprised … and proud!
