Celebrate 30 with an emotional video

30th birthday video ideas

Thirty is the "story so far" birthday: career, travel, relationships and often a new family. Friends and family usually want to celebrate who the person has become — and tease them a little about who they used to be.

  1. The story so far

    Ten photos per decade: childhood, teens and twenties, ending with this year.

  2. Thirty things we love about you

    Short captions over photos sent in by friends, colleagues and family.

  3. Then and now

    Pair old photos with recreations in the same pose and place.

  4. Around the world

    A travel montage of every trip of their twenties, with city names on screen.

  5. Messages from far away

    Friends who can't attend send a photo and a line — perfect for a party screen.

Turning 31 to 39?

For birthdays between 31 and 39, the same ideas work with a shift in focus: weddings, children and career milestones usually take center stage. A 35th is a natural halfway point — try a "35 moments" video with one photo per year of life.

Plan the video

  • Photos: 40–60 photos
  • Length: 3–4 minutes
  • Music: One song from their teenage years and one current favorite.
