Grandma and Grandad. ## How to make a birthday video for your grandson 1. ### Pick a card Tap **Make one for your grandson** and choose a design from **Templates**: bright for a little one, funny for an older boy. 2. ### Write his name and your wish Type his name in **Name**, his age in **Age** and a line from the list in **Message**. 3. ### Add a photo and the tune Tap **Add photos and clips** for a picture of you together, then **Add music** to choose a Happy Birthday arrangement. 4. ### Send it Tap **Export video**, then **Share** to send it on WhatsApp or by text, or to his mum or dad to show him. ## What grandsons like to see Boys of most ages respond to the same few things: * **Their name, big.** The bigger the better for under-tens. * **The thing they are into.** Football, dinosaurs, trains, games: mention it in the message. * **A photo of them winning.** A medal, a goal, a finished model. * **Grandad being silly.** A clip of Grandad attempting a dance is worth any amount of text. ## Older grandsons Teenagers can be embarrassed easily, so send it to him privately rather than to the family group. A **GIF** with one funny line is about the right size. For an 18th or 21st, a video of photos from his childhood, ending with a recent one of you together, often means more than he will admit. ### If he lives far away A birthday video is a lovely way to feel close when you can’t be there. Ask his parents for a recent photo if you don’t have one, and send the video in the morning so it is waiting for him. ## Grandson birthday videos: questions ### What do you write to a grandson on his birthday? His name, how proud you are and something you enjoy doing together. The lines above work for boys of every age. ### Can I add Happy Birthday music? Yes. **Add music** offers the site’s own arrangements of the Happy Birthday tune, free to use in the video, or a song file from your phone. ### Can I send it as a GIF instead? Yes. Tap **Export video** and choose **GIF**. It has no sound but plays straight away in a message. ### Will it work on my phone? Yes, in the web browser on iPhone or Android. Your photos stay on your phone. ### Is it free? Yes, with no account and no watermark. ## Birthday videos for other people * [ Birthday video maker Start from an animated template, add their name, photos and a song. ](https://birthday.video/) * [ Happy birthday granddaughter wishes Warm lines from grandparents, on a GIF or video with her name. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-granddaughter) * [ 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 nephew GIFs and wishes Short, cheeky lines and a GIF or video with his name for the family chat. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-nephew) * [ Happy birthday dog videos and GIFs Your pet as the star, with their name, age and best photos. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-dog) * [ Happy 21st birthday wishes and videos Key-to-the-door wishes, a 21 GIF and clips from friends far away. ](https://birthday.video/happy-21st-birthday) * [ Happy 16th birthday wishes and videos Sweet 16 wishes and a fast vertical video with friends’ clips. ](https://birthday.video/happy-16th-birthday) * [ Birthday video templates Every template in the editor, by occasion, with the formats it suits. ](https://birthday.video/birthday-video-templates)
