Give the birthday boy or girl a starring role in a homemade DVD movie invitation.
Write a brief script as an outline for the invitation.
Shoot video of the birthday honoree inviting guests to the party along with fun scenarios of their everyday life.
Integrate past videos and photos into the current footage for a nostalgic touch.
Put it all together with a home editing system such as Microsoft Windows Movie Maker, or even online at Jumpcut.com.
Print the party information on the DVD paper insert and customize it with Hollywood imagery.
Hire a pro if you need help with your production. Check local listings under "video production," "wedding videographers" or enlist the help of film students at a nearby college.
