Creativity & Guidance

Sometimes, when you’re given three minutes to share a message, it can feel overwhelming to decide what to say. You want to capture your love, memories, and meaningful moments, but the right words might not come to you right away. That’s where these questions can help. Below are some thoughtful prompts to guide you in recording a message for someone you love. They encourage deep reflection, sharing of cherished memories, and revealing the little things that make your connection special, things that might otherwise be forgotten.
