Anniversary Video Making Tips

First things first: How do you make an anniversary video? It’s simple! A wedding anniversary video maker like Memento makes it easy to create a beautiful video gift for your spouse. Just follow these few steps:

• Invite family & friends to participate. Think about those people who knew you when you first became a couple, those who knew you before your relationship started, and others who have come into your life more recently. When you set up your video project, provide some guidance on what people can include in their video clips and give them a realistic deadline for submissions so they have enough time to prepare something. Once you’ve done this, you can send everyone a link to your video project. 

• Collect & Customize. Participants can use any digital device to record and submit their video. Every time someone submits a new video clip, you’ll get an email notification. Once everyone has submitted a clip, easily drag and drop videos in the order you prefer. Add can also add an introduction to your anniversary video that can include a special message, customized colors, and background music.

• Create & Share! Once you’ve finalized your montage video, click “Create” and you’ll receive an email with a link to your completed video! Share the video with your spouse via email, text, or social media. If you’re hosting an anniversary party, surprise your spouse by playing the video at the event!

• Perfect Pair. Ask loved ones to share why they think you and your spouse are a great match. What makes your relationship work?

• Favorite Photos. Recruit family and friends to dig up a photo that includes the two of you and have them showcase the pic and share memories associated with it in their video clip. Your partner will get a kick out of seeing photos of both of you from over the years, and will enjoy walking down memory lane with so many loved ones. 

• The Story of Us. Write a story or poem about your time together as a couple. Be sure to include references to the first time you met, your first date, your engagement, wedding, and other momentous occasions from over the years. Have each participant read a line or two from your story or poem.
