Sample brief: the places that brought you here
Choose a few chapters from the relationship, such as the first meeting, a first home, a shared trip, and life today. For a 25th or 50th anniversary, invite people from different eras to contribute one specific memory. Keep the couple's preferences in mind when choosing a private or group celebration.

How to make your version
4 steps from the first idea to the finished video.
Explore wedding anniversary video ideasChoose the audience and the reveal
Decide whether this is a private gift for your partner or a group tribute for a celebration. Confirm names, the anniversary year, and when the video will be shown. Set a contribution deadline early enough to review everything.
Collect a memory from each era
Ask family and friends for one specific story, a favorite photo, or a short message. Share the private invitation link and offer a written note for people who prefer not to record. Match meaningful places to the memories, using city-level locations when detail is unnecessary.
Arrange the relationship story
Group contributions into chapters. Start with the earliest shared memory, move through the years, and finish in the present. Choose map stops that explain the story, then try a map style that keeps photos and captions easy to follow.
Check the tribute before sharing
Preview names, dates, captions, and audio. Make sure private memories are appropriate for the intended audience. Export the finished video and test playback on the device used for the anniversary reveal.
Small choices that help
- For a 25th or 50th anniversary, ask one person from each era for a memory rather than repeating congratulations.
- A private anniversary video can focus on ordinary moments, familiar places, and a voice message from your partner.
- Use approximate locations for homes and keep the contribution link within the invited group.
