Custom video greeting cards make any occasion more fun by bringing your messages to life through videos.

When you customize your greeting card, you show your recipient that you value them so much that you made a card, especially for them.

A customized card shows the time, effort, and sincerity of the sender, which is why they spark more joy than a regular greeting card.

Adding videos is the best way to personalize any card, making it a heartwarming and unique greeting card.

Why adding videos to your greeting cards makes them delightful

A video greeting card is an improved version of your greeting card. You can customize your card through videos to make it more appropriate for your recipient and the occasion. Using a dynamic QR code, your recipients can receive your videos on a greeting card they can keep.

You’ll find joy in creating, sending, and receiving this greeting card, and here’s why:

1. Videos can express more heartfelt messages

Traditional blank cards allow you to write your greetings, but only within a limited blank space.

But with videos, you can say what you want to say and how you want to say it without worrying about the space or duration of your video.

For example, on your dear friend's golden birthday celebration, you can send messages they can see, hear, and feel through videos.

2. Personalized cards with videos are more sincere

Does your mass-produced greeting card symbolize your sincerity and genuine affection toward your recipient? Does it add value to their special day?

Everyone wants the best for their loved ones.

We can't help but jump with joy when we see them grin with genuine gratitude for whatever we gave them.

So, on their special day, offer them custom video birthday cards made with love—and videos!

3. Fun video ideas are better than the usual plain greetings

Isn’t it exciting to receive a funny birthday card with a video compilation of your dad jokes that had your friends laughing out loud?

It’s much more fun to receive a greeting card personalized just for you than the usual greeting card you can easily buy from any department store or gift shop.

With a video greeting, you can get creative and make any video you want to add to make your card fun.

4. Custom-made greeting cards allow online collaboration with people from different parts of the world 

Working and connecting with people worldwide to create a video greeting project becomes easy when using a greeting card generator.

All you need to do is send them an invitation link from a free online greeting card maker, and they can start adding their videos to your card; no need to gather their videos individually! 

Imagine you and your friends can plan a surprise for a dear friend on their birthday despite being far away from each other due to work and adulting.

Using GiftLips, you can collaborate effortlessly by sharing an invitation link where you and your friends can add heartfelt messages and cherished memories to a greeting card. 

5. Customized greeting cards with videos make a perfect keepsake

When something is created especially for you, you want to keep and remember it forever. Personalized gifts are priceless.

Most recipients keep them because they are valuable—not for their price, but for the thought, time, and effort it took to make them.

6. Customized greeting cards are the perfect last-minute gift

You might assume that any customized project would consume a significant amount of your time, given that most

DIY projects tend to do so. But creating custom-made greeting cards online with videos is an exception!

All you have to do is choose a card from the greeting card website, add your videos, and download or print your greeting card. This makes customized cards the perfect thoughtful last-minute gift idea.

7. You can create, send, and view a greeting card video anywhere and anytime

Aside from the convenience of crafting a customized greeting card in under 5 minutes, you can create one virtually anywhere using your smartphone or other mobile devices.

Forgot about someone's birthday until the last minute? No need to fret; you can still have a heartfelt present by making video greetings for birthday celebrations.

Moreover, your recipients can easily view the videos on their phones, anytime and anywhere they want.
