4 Ways to Share the 60th Birthday Video Gift
Share with the recipient in person.
Sharing your video gift with the recipient is, without a doubt, the most exciting moment.
What's better is seeing the recipient watch their video in person. Watch the video gift with the recipient, and you'll be able to witness their face light up with joy, which is truly a magical moment. Seeing them laugh and cry tears of joy is a rare moment that makes it all worthwhile.
Your video gift is shared and viewable online from a private gift page, but it's also downloadable so that you can save it forever.
The video gift is shared and watched online, but it's also downloadable, so you can save it forever.
Here are a couple of ways you can present your one-of-kind 60th birthday video:
Get together and watch your video from the gift page using your laptop, phone, or any other device. If you know you won't have a WiFi connection, download the MP4 beforehand.
Throw a party and play your video on the TV or projector (an absolute party favorite).
Send your video to the recipient online.
It's not always possible to get together. But the silver lining is that sharing your video gift online is super easy.
Send the "recipient link," a private link to a gift page. From the gift page, the recipient can:
Watch their surprise birthday video
Record a thank you video
Claim their gift (only applicable if there was a gift card collection)
You can share the recipient link however way you want. Whether by email, text, WhatsApp, Messenger, or Slack, the recipient will be surprised when they suddenly receive a video made just for them from everyone they love.
Once the recipient watches their birthday video, they can redeem any gift card amount, if there was any, and easily record a thank you video message.
The thank you message from the recipient is shared with you, the video creator. You could then easily share the recipient's message with all the participants since they're curious to see how the video turned out.
Share with the recipient using a QR code.
You can download a unique QR code that links to the gift page for the recipient.
All you need to do is:
Download the QR code.
Print with any printer.
Cut by following the dotted line.
Add to card or gift.
The QR code will take the recipient directly to the gift page when scanned with their mobile phone.
Share with participants.
As the creator of the 60th birthday video, you have complete control of how you share the video gift with everyone who participated in the celebration video.
By default, your video gift is private. But once you toggle it to viewable, everyone with the invite link can watch your video. But, the video is only viewable to those with the direct link and is not searchable from Google or other search engines.
With a click of a button, you can notify your invite list that the video gift is available to watch. Of course, everyone will be excited to see it!
Here's a recent 5-star review on Trustpilot from Connie Patterson about making a surprise birthday video for her husband's 60th:
My husband was turning 60 and I had no idea what I was going to give him that would make him say “wow”. I gave him a surprise birthday party and Vidday was the perfect gift. He was blown away by the video of friends and family wishing him a happy birthday. We both enjoy watching the video again and again. Thanks Vidday! You saved the day. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
