Crafting an Unforgettable Gift with AnyMilestone: A Step-by-Step Guide to Your Video Wall

Sunday, November 3rd, 2024

Imagine this: a video wall filled with heartfelt messages from friends, family, and loved ones, each one sharing a unique memory, a laugh, or a bit of advice.

It's the kind of gift that brings everyone together, creating a moment so moving it could bring anyone to tears. With AnyMilestone, you’re about to create something unforgettable—a true celebration of the person who means so much to you. Here's how to get started!

Here’s a simple guide to set you up for success as you create the perfect video invitation and bring together your friends and family to make this milestone unforgettable.

Step 1: Locate Your Setup Instructions

Right after your purchase, you should have received a text and an email with all the setup details you’ll need. If you’re returning to get started later, simply search your email for "AnyMilestone" to locate those instructions, and you’ll be ready to begin!

Step 2: Plan What to Say in Your Invitation Video

Think of your video as the “heartfelt invitation” to everyone involved. This is your chance to inspire the kind of warm, personal messages that will bring a smile (or maybe even a few happy tears) to the recipient. Here are a few tips to help you plan your message and make it meaningful:

Introduce the Occasion

Open with a mention of the milestone—let people know who this is for and what you’re celebrating. A 50th birthday? A golden anniversary? Make it personal and let everyone feel the excitement! 

Set a Time Limit

Briefly remind everyone that they don’t need to make a long video—sometimes, the most impactful messages are short and sweet. Suggesting a limit helps keep contributions heartfelt and sincere.

Encourage Authenticity

Let participants know there’s no need to overthink it. This is about sharing memories, celebrating connections, and speaking from the heart.

Set the Tone

This is your guide for everyone who will contribute. Show warmth, excitement, and positivity—because that’s exactly what this video wall will be about!

Remember, your video is the first impression. People will look to it to understand how they can add their own meaningful touch.

Step 3: Start Recording Your Invitation

On the AnyMilestone page, find the “Record” button (you’ll see it clearly on the screen in front of you). Here’s where the magic begins! Click it, relax, and speak from the heart. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about sincerity and joy. Share your talking points, smile, and remember—this video wall is a beautiful gift that will bring together the people who matter most.

Step 4: Save and Share Your Invitation

After you’re happy with your recording, simply hit “Save” to lock in your message. The AnyMilestone platform will then generate a unique link for your project. This link is your personal invitation for friends and family to join in on the fun! Share it through email, text, or even on social media to make sure everyone gets a chance to add their special message.

Step 5: Review and Approve Submissions

As friends and family begin sending in their videos, you’ll receive notifications. Here’s where it gets exciting—you’ll be able to watch each submission, approving or rejecting them as you see fit. Each approved message adds another layer of love and joy to the final video wall, creating a collection of memories that will undoubtedly move the recipient. Just imagine the smiles, laughter, and maybe even a few happy tears when they finally see it!

Step 6: Share the Final Gift

Once all the videos are in and the wall is complete, you’ll have a beautiful, personalized collection of heartfelt messages ready to share on the special day. Friends and family members often put so much love into their videos that this final product becomes more than just a gift—it’s a meaningful experience, a memory in itself, and a celebration of all the wonderful relationships in your loved one’s life.

With AnyMilestone, you’re not just giving a gift—you’re creating a shared memory that friends and family will treasure for years to come. This is truly a revolutionary way to honor the milestones that matter most, and we’re thrilled to help you make it all happen. Happy celebrating! 🎉
