Champagne and glitter for my wife
A birthday video for your wife is a short love letter in pictures: your photos from the start to now, her name on an animated card, and a closing message in your own words. Ten to fifteen photos under one tune is about a minute and a half, which is the right length to watch together and then again on her own.
This page opens the editor on the romantic templates with the greeting set for a wife, in Story 9:16 for her phone. For something smaller, choose GIF for a looping card with one line, or send a video birthday card that opens like an envelope.
The video is made in your browser, so the photos stay with you. It is free and has no watermark.

How to make a birthday video for your wife
Choose a template
Press Make one for your wife above and pick a romantic design from Templates.
Write to her
Type her name, or what you call her, in Name and your words in Message. Change any other line on the card to fit.
Add your photos and a tune
Press Add photos and clips and choose the pictures in order, then Add music for one of the site’s Happy Birthday arrangements or your song.
Export
Press Export video, then Download video to keep it or Share to send it from your phone.
Ideas she will love
Photos you took of her
Most people are in very few photos of themselves. The ones you took, when she wasn’t posing, are often the ones she has never seen properly.
The children’s version
If you have children, film each of them saying one thing they love about their mum. Short clips go in with Add photos and clips, between the photos.
Places
Cities, beaches, a favourite café: a run of places you have been together reads like a map of your life.
Getting the words right
The closing card matters most. A few things that help:
- Be specific: “the night we missed the last train in Lisbon” beats “all our adventures”.
- Say thank you for something she does that nobody notices.
- Keep it to two short sentences, so it can be read before the music ends.

Happy birthday wife: questions
Can I add our wedding song?
If you have it as a file on your device, yes, with Add music. Songs from streaming apps can’t be added; the site’s Happy Birthday arrangements are free to use instead.
Can I make it as a GIF?
Yes. Press Export video and choose GIF for a short, silent card that loops. Choose Video (MP4) for photos and music.
Will it work on her phone?
Yes. The MP4 plays on any phone, and Story 9:16 fills the screen. On a phone, Share sends it straight to her.
Are our photos private?
Yes. Nothing is uploaded: the video is made on your own device.
