Getting Started You can start a video by answering a few questions: What's the occasion?  Who's it for?  This creates an Event Page that will be used to collect media. Only you (the video creator) can access this Event Page. Here's a great introduction video to get you started: What makes a VidDay so unique is seeing video messages and old photos from all your friends and family.

A Collage theme takes screenshots from submitted photos and video clips to create collage-inspired background scenes.  VidDay offers three variations of the Collage theme — light, normal, and dark. The three versions of the theme work the same; the only difference is the background scenes' brightness.  If you don't want to use a Collage theme, VidDay offers other video themes that don't have photos in the background scenes — like Gift Wrap, Watercolor, Floral, or Simple.

At VidDay, we help you create the most meaningful and beautiful videos to share as surprise gifts. VidDay video gifts bring genuine happiness into the world — making people feel loved and appreciated. Here are a few reasons why you should choose VidDay.
