A message to leave

What to say in a video message to your daughter

A daughter should never have to wonder what she meant to you, or what you would have told her on the biggest days of her life. This message makes sure she always knows, in your own voice.

You do not need the perfect speech. Say the true things, the way you would if she were sitting beside you. Keep it short, record a few, and do it while it is easy.

Common questions

Is it too soon to record a message for my daughter?+

No. The best ones are made calmly, now, not in a crisis. She only sees it when you decide, and you can add more as she grows.

I might cry. Is that okay?+

More than okay. The emotion is part of why it will matter to her. Pause if you need to, or record it in short pieces.

How does she receive it later?+

Shtello Legacy lets you record now and choose when it reaches her, on a future date or held until then, and only she can watch it. Free to start.
