Idea Hub

We have created various categories of relationships. We then listed multiple topics that you can select from to help you organize your video message content. We hope that you find the relationship/topic approach useful. You can always contact us whenever you need further assistance.

Before You Begin

  • Grab a memorable photo of the loved one (spouse/children/grandchildren) you desire to use to create a special video message story.  Most users have found that starting video messages by recording their memory of the story behind the picture has been a great place to begin recording. 

  • In addition, one can create a brief outline using topics from the Idea Hub, to help complete a video’s content.  Don’t forget to express your love for them.

  • Turn on your camera and start recording.  When finished, the app allows you to store the video in your personalized Vault, and we will deliver it precisely on time.  It will make a difference for them as you will be “forever” with them.
