FAQ
Answers to common questions

Two to three weeks ahead is ideal. It gives invitees time to record without rushing, and you have a few days to review before the birthday.
How many people typically contribute to a birthday video? +
Most birthday gifts gather between 8 and 25 contributors. There is no minimum or maximum — even three heartfelt messages can make a beautiful gift.
Can the birthday person see who is contributing before the reveal? +
No. Only you, the organizer, see contributions as they come in. The recipient sees the finished video as one surprise.
Can I download and share the final video? +
Yes. After export, you can download the HD video and share it privately with the recipient.
