Create Your VidDay
in Three Steps
From inviting contributors to sharing the finished surprise, here’s how VidDay guides you through the process.
Invite People
Personalize Your Invitation
Customize the invite message, prompts, recipient photo, banner, color, due date, and any special instructions.
Share Your Private Link
Copy your private link and share it anywhere your group already communicates.
Use Smart Invites
Send invitations through VidDay to track opens and send automatic reminders. Anyone who RSVPs through the submission page is added to the same list.
Collect Video Messages & Photos
Easy for Contributors
Friends, family, and coworkers can record or upload videos, photos, and short clips from their phone or computer.
Everything in One Place
Review new contributions and keep the project moving without digging through texts, emails, or shared folders.
Customize It
Arrange & Edit
Reorder clips, trim or split videos, add photos, and include text cards wherever you need them.
Themes & Music
Choose a ready-made theme or create your own to match the recipient and occasion. Then add music from our library, upload your own song, or create an original with our Custom Song Builder.
Unlimited Previews
Preview your entire video for free as many times as you need. Rearrange clips, review every message, and make changes until it feels ready.
Share the Surprise
Watch It Together
Play the video in person and watch the recipient’s reaction together. You can even cast it to a TV so everyone can enjoy it on a bigger screen.
Download or Send
Download the finished video as a 1080p HD MP4 or send the recipient a private viewing link they can watch anywhere.
Add Digital Gift Wrap
Create a more memorable reveal before the video begins.
Add More to the Gift
Plant Trees as a Gift
Plant trees in the recipient’s honor and follow the impact through VidDay’s Impact Hub.
Add a Group Gift Fund
Let contributors add money while submitting their messages. The recipient can redeem the total for a gift card of their choice from the available brands.

Once your VidDay video is finished, you have the option to turn it into a tangible gift they’ll keep forever.
