A tribute video is a heartwarming commemoration of the life and the special milestone that comes along with it. 

Aside from memorial tribute, you can also make tribute for birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, retirement, etc.

Using a video greeting card for your video tribute is a memorable keepsake that you can give at an event or gathering. 

Compared to posting videos as tributes on social media, handing a video tribute in greeting card form is a more genuine and valuable way to honor someone.

What is a tribute video greeting card

A tribute video greeting card is a physical or digital greeting card that enables you to add short-form videos as a tribute.

They are not only in e-card form but also in physical card form. Here’s how it works:

You can record your video and make your own greeting card. Or, you can invite your friends through an invitation link so they can directly add their videos to your tribute greeting card as well.

You can send your tribute card to the person you’re making it for or to their loved ones.

Through a dynamic QR code, you can add videos to your printable greeting cards. 

All you need is a new and innovative online greeting card generator that can create all cards, from religious to memorial, for all occasions—like Giftlips.

After identifying a tribute card type, it’s now time to select a concept that you can use for your video tribute. Here are 7 video tribute ideas you can choose from:

Memoir

Celebrate a loved one’s life through a video tribute and include videos and photos from newborn, childhood, milestones, and other achievements so far. These are cards that you can give on someone’s birthday.

Milestone 

Highlight the big and small wins of your loved ones by showcasing their achievements. But success and achievements are not only limited to professional victories but also personal victories like their fitness journey, spiritual healing, or simply getting up in the morning.

Priceless moments

Collect and compile the special moments you’ve spent with the person you’re paying tribute to.

Choose memories from your family vacation, a holiday party, or other special occasions. Adding personal videos to your tribute makes it more personal and intimate.

Admiration and appreciation

Make your loved ones feel loved and appreciated through video messages. Add special and personal videos to create a tribute. Send your video appreciation tribute as a birthday, anniversary, or “just because” greeting card.

If the lyrics of the song have a significant meaning to their life, make it into a background story.

Gratitude video tribute
