Everyone has something to say. The videos end up scattered across texts, email and a dozen different phones.
They said yes. Now let everyone say it too.
The ring is on, the phones are ringing, and everyone has something to say. Send one link and collect the screams, the toasts, and the stories from both sides of the family, stitched into one film the couple will replay long after the champagne.
“What was your first reaction when you heard the news?”
“What do you love about them as a pair?”
“Tell the story of when you knew they’d end up together.”
“What’s one piece of advice for the engagement season?”
How to make an engagement video
Send one link. Everyone records their message in their browser, on any phone or computer, and videos.me compiles the clips into one film you can watch, share or download. Contributors install no app and make no account. You tick the clips you want, drag them into the order you want, and the film is made for you. Free to start, then $0.35 per video you receive, or a bundle.
- One link, no app, no account for the people recording
- Records in any browser, phone or computer

- You get one film back: watch it, share it, or download it
An engagement video captures the exact moment everyone found out, the best friend mid-shriek, the grandmother reaching for a tissue, the college roommate with a story the couple hoped was forgotten. One link goes to both families and every friend group; each person records a short message in their browser, no app for them and no editor for you; and the whole chorus lands as a single film. It makes a perfect engagement-party surprise, and an even better time capsule to reopen on the wedding morning.
What you get back
A preview cut from the prompts on this page. Yours will be the clips your people record.
How it works
Three steps and a few minutes, and never an editor.
Create a link
Add a prompt like “What was your first reaction when you heard the news?” and get one shareable link in seconds.
Everyone records
Anyone with the link opens it and records a short clip in their browser. They never install an app or make an account.
We make the film
We stitch the clips into one film that’s yours to watch, download, and share.
How to make an engagement video
Move while the news is fresh
Create the collection within days of the announcement and share the link with both families and every friend group.
Ask for first reactions
Prompt people to share how they heard and what they shouted. First reactions age into the best part of the film.
Keep it a surprise if you like
Collect quietly and premiere the film at the engagement party, or hand it to the couple as a gift.
Compile and celebrate
Arrange the clips, compile in minutes, and give the couple the whole chorus in one film.
Prompt ideas for your video
?
Pick one. One clear question gets more replies than four. People answer a question; they stall at a brief.
Make it theirs. Swap in the name and the detail only your group knows. “Share a memory of Dad” beats “share a memory.”
Say the length. Naming thirty seconds gives permission to stop, which is usually what someone is waiting for.
Say when you need it. A date does more for replies than any wording.
Give contributors a great question, or write your own.
“What was your first reaction when you heard the news?”
“What do you love about them as a pair?”
“Tell the story of when you knew they’d end up together.”
“What’s one piece of advice for the engagement season?”
Tips for the best results
Get both sides
One link travels to both families, and the film is better when the two halves meet in it.
Prompt for stories, not speeches
“When did you know?” beats formal congratulations every time.
Save it for the wedding morning
Some couples reopen the film a year later. It plays differently, in the best way.
Works for these, too
One link, the same effortless flow, whatever you’re collecting for.

When should we collect engagement messages?
Soon after the news breaks, while the excitement is loud. A week of collecting catches both families and every friend group at peak delight.
How many people can join in?
As many as you like on pay as you go, from the inner circle to both extended families, all through one link. Bundles cover up to 10, 25, or 50 people.
Do contributors need an app or account?
No. They open the link and record in their browser on any phone or laptop. You get your link the moment you create the collection.
Can we play it at the engagement party?
Yes. Compile whenever you’re ready and the film is yours in minutes: play it at the party, share it with a private link, or download it to keep.
Is this different from a wedding video?
Different moment, different film. Engagement messages are raw first reactions; wedding messages come with a year of anticipation behind them. Plenty of couples end up with both.
What if messages arrive after we compile?
Late clips land at the end, and you can re-compile any time to include them.
Capture every angle of the moments you’ll never get back.
Two minutes to set up, free to create, and nothing to pay until you unlock your videos.
Will people actually record something?
They open the link and record in their browser. Nothing to install, and no account to make.
What if I set it up and nobody sends anything?
Creating a collection is free, and you pay when you unlock your videos. An empty collection costs you nothing.
What do I even ask people to say?
Every occasion page here comes with prompt ideas you can send as they are, or write your own.
