Video Message to the Future

Make a video message to the future, for your children and grandchildren to view decades from now. It is a priceless, heartfelt, enduring gift you will be glad you created. Start with the story of how you and your spouse met. Then, talk about when your child was first born and what that was like. Most importantly, don’t forget to tell some funny and meaningful stories about your family in the video.

You really don’t know what you have until it is gone. It is so touching to view this video message to the future, again in 20 to 30 years. You can even interview other family members on this video message to the future. You never know, by the time you view this video again, your grandmother or great grandfather may be gone. Let your baby know how much you love them in the video now. Talk about all the little things that they love about your baby.

You may not know how to start this video message to the future, but it is important just to start talking out your thoughts and feelings. Start by listing all the different reasons why you wanted a baby and why you love your child or grandchild. What has having a baby in your life taught you as the parent or grandparent? Where do you and your spouse or partner currently work? Where do you go to school, if you are in college pursuing a dream.

Talk about the funny things your family does, especially during the holidays. What are some family traditions you want your child to carry on? Make sure you talk about these and why they are important to continue. Sometimes it can be fun just to talk about what your weekly schedule or life looks like. Who do you turn to for inspiration or motivation to get things done? Who are your best friends and what do you do together for fun? Tell your baby what a real friend is like and how to make and keep friends in life. All of these message to the future stories, will be worth so much for your child when they view this video years later.

You could even have separate sections of this video for your child to open and view at specific time and ages in their life. For example, you need to know specific things about life as you become a teenager compared to when your baby becomes a mommy or daddy themselves. It would also be so much fun to include bloopers in this video showing the real issues your family has, and then later how they are resolved in your family. Be real with your video message to the future, to show the baby in your family what life was like when he or she was born.
