Ask one person in each branch of the family to collect clips from their household and send them to you; you add them all with **Add photos and clips**. There is no shared upload link. * Their children first, oldest to youngest. * Grandchildren next, then great-grandchildren (the little ones are often the highlight). * Old friends and neighbours, if any have sent a message. * A final card signed by the whole family in **Message**. ### Clips they can follow Ask everyone to film close to the phone in a quiet room, hold it sideways, and start with who they are: “Hi Gran, it’s Sophie, Mark’s daughter.” Twenty seconds each is plenty. ## Playing it in a care home or at a family lunch If the celebration is in a care home, ask the staff beforehand about a television you can connect a laptop or USB stick to, and a quiet time of day. Keep the volume up, sit beside them while it plays and pause on the photos they want to talk about. Twenty to thirty photos over four minutes keeps the pace gentle. Leave a copy on a tablet so they can watch it again with visitors. ## Happy 90th birthday: questions ### What do you write in a 90th birthday message? A short, warm line they can read at a glance: their name, ninety and love from the family. “Ninety years of love, and four generations to show for it” works for most. ### How long should a 90th birthday video be? About four minutes, with fewer photos on screen for longer and short clips from the family. ### How do I get messages from relatives who live far away? Ask each household to film a short clip and send it to one person, who adds them all with **Add photos and clips**. ### Can it play on the TV in a care home? Yes. Export in Landscape 16:9, then **Download video** to a laptop, tablet or USB stick; check with the staff which the television accepts. ### Is it free? Yes, with no account and no watermark. The photos are never uploaded. ## Other birthdays and ideas * [ Birthday video maker Start from an animated template, add their name, photos and a song. ](https://birthday.video/) * [ Happy 80th birthday wishes and videos Wishes for eighty, and a slow, clear video for the TV. ](https://birthday.video/happy-80th-birthday) * [ Happy 100th birthday wishes and videos A century of photos and family voices, made for the TV. ](https://birthday.video/happy-100th-birthday) * [ Happy birthday Grandma wishes and videos Wishes from the grandchildren and a video made for the big screen. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-grandma) * [ Happy birthday Grandpa wishes and videos A slow, clear video for his television, with old photos and the grandchildren. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-grandpa) * [ Birthday montage from friends A clip from everyone, put together into one surprise tribute video. ](https://birthday.video/birthday-montage) * [ Birthday slideshow Photos in order under a tune, opened by a card with their name. ](https://birthday.video/birthday-slideshow) * [ Birthday video templates Every template in the editor, by occasion, with the formats it suits. ](https://birthday.video/birthday-video-templates)
