Ideas for a special 100th birthday card
A century calls for a little extra thought. Here are some ideas to help.
-
Plan a few weeks ahead
With a big family to reach, send the invite three to four weeks before the birthday and share a clear cutoff date.
-
Ask each generation to take part
Invite children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to record. Seeing every generation in one card shows the family they helped build.
-
Share memories from across the decades
Encourage contributors to tell a story from a particular time, like the family farm, a favorite holiday or Sunday dinners.
-
Arrange the order
On paid plans you can rearrange the video order. You might start with the youngest great-grandchild and finish with their oldest friend.
-
Press play together
Watch the card with them on the day, with family nearby. Then they can rewatch the messages whenever they like.
A gift to treasure
I received videos from friends and family from all over the world. It’s probably the most heart warming gift I’ve ever received. I was in tears after watching the videos.
