From Chris
Still have the photos from Cabo. Just saying.
From Jen
Why it works for a 40th.
Old friends can join from anywhere
College roommates, friends who moved away, the coworker from their first job. Everyone adds a message from their phone in about a minute.
Room for the stories
Forty years means a few embarrassing stories. A minute each is enough to tell one, and nobody has to give a speech.
A surprise until the day
Until the time you choose, their link only shows a countdown. Then every message plays, one after another.
See what they’ll get.
A 40-second example from a 70th birthday, with eight messages. The people in it are made up.

Common questions.
- Can people who don’t know each other join?
- Yes. Everyone adds their message from the same link, so college friends and coworkers don’t need to be in the same group chat. Send the link wherever each group talks.
- How long should each message be?
- About a minute is plenty. On Free each message can be up to 1 minute, and up to 3 minutes if you keep it forever.
- Can I choose when it opens?
- Yes. Pick the day and the exact time. Until then, their link only shows a countdown.
- Can I watch it before they do?
- Yes. You can change the order, trim the start and end of each message, and preview it exactly as they’ll see it. What people say is never edited.
- What if more than 10 people want to add a message?
- Nobody gets left out, and every message is saved. The free video includes 10 of them. For €10, one person unlocks every message for everyone.
- Who can see it?
- Only the people in it. It’s never posted anywhere, there are no ads, and everything is stored in the EU.
