## About this template

![](https://birthday.video/previews/retro-80s-synthwave.webp) 

On screen it reads “Happy Birthday”, “KEV”, “▶ PLAY” and “REC · 40 YEARS”, set in Righteous and Lobster script. Type over the sample and yours appears instead.

The colours are midnight blue, pink, orange and teal. As it plays, the lettering zooms in, the lettering shimmers, the photo zooms in and the lettering comes into focus. There are twinkling stars.

Fill in their name, their age, who it is from and a short message and add 2 photos or clips; extra photos get scenes of their own. Party, four on the floor, plays under it until you pick another tune under **Music**.
