'It's Your Bday' Offers the Simplest Way to Send a Virtual Birthday Wish

— August 6, 2021 — Life-Stages
It's Your Bday is a new website that offers the simplest way to create a video montage to send to a loved one on their birthday. It was designed to offer a hassle-free video recording and video collecting experience. The website is ideal if you want to gather multiple videos and automatically have them turned into a single video birthday card.

The app is free and simply requires a name and phone number to start creating a card. It's Your Bday uses SMS to create a profile rather than email and other tech-savvy ways. For this reason, it is ideal for boomers and anyone who is not technologically skilled. The website also includes a straightforward, visual instruction sheet on how to make a video.

The website is a great way to connect with faraway loved ones on those celebratory occasions.
