    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I collect video messages from people in different locations?

    We make this easy through our private client portal. You can invite friends and family to upload their video messages directly, no matter where they live. This is especially popular for military homecomings and farewell parties where loved ones are scattered across the country.

    How far in advance should I order my montage?

    We recommend starting at least two weeks before your party to allow time for gathering photos and video messages from others. However, we understand that sometimes homecomings happen quickly. Contact us about rush options if you are working with a tight timeline.

    Can the montage include both past memories and future wishes?

    Absolutely. Many of our clients blend nostalgic photos with heartfelt video messages wishing the person well on their next chapter. This combination creates a powerful emotional experience that celebrates where they have been and where they are going.
