80th Birthday Party Slideshow

One of the best ways to entertain a room full of party guests, especially for an 80th birthday party, is with a video slideshow that goes back in time. It does take some work to collect photos and put them together, but the results far outweigh the effort.

• Gather old and new photographs from family members to use in the slideshow.
• Scan photos not already on a digital camera into the computer. If you don't have a scanner at home, most office supply stores and print shops will do this for a small fee.
• If you or a friend is tech savvy, you can easily create a video montage with a program such as iDVD or Windows Movie Maker.
• No access to these computer programs? No problem; companies like One True Media will make videos for you with your uploaded photos.
