Fun Graduation Video Idea: A Virtual Yearbook


Gather the graduating class together for a digital yearbook like no other.


Easily invite everyone from the graduating year to submit video stories, student pictures, inspirational words, and advice for the years ahead.

No more heavy yearbooks to carry around. Keep your yearbook digital for everyone, and keep it light. You can add photos of prom, schooling events, graduation, and fun activities throughout the years.


Instead of yearbook quotes, students can record their messages and send them back to add to this stunning digital yearbook.

Celebrate Milestones


Whether they graduate from college, university, or high school, it is a significant accomplishment.

Celebrate that special graduate with a video that congratulates the grad on their achievements.

Include photos of significant senior events, such as prom or homecoming, or from that memorable sporting event, to remind the graduate of all the fantastic moments they experienced.
