Add a favorite school photo, a short video congratulations, or a written wish.

Plan around the graduation date Choose Graduation in the invitation builder and set the reveal date. Decide whether the video is for a family gathering, a party, or a private gift. Set a collection deadline that leaves time to review the contributions and test playback. 2. Give each contributor a clear prompt Share one private invitation link. Ask for a favorite school memory, a quality they admire, or a wish for the next chapter. Offer photo and written-message options alongside video. A teacher or mentor can contribute if they are comfortable doing so. 3. Build a story across the years Start with an early photo, follow a few school milestones, and finish with the graduate today. Add school or campus locations if they help explain the journey. Choose a slideshow for a photo tribute or a map video for memories across different places. 4. Review for the celebration Check the graduate's name, school, and year. Keep captions readable and spoken messages audible. Confirm that school and group photos can be shown to the intended audience. Export and test the video on the party screen or recipient's device. BEFORE YOU EXPORT [ ] The graduate's name, school, and graduation year are correct.
