How it works
Three steps. Then it’s theirs forever.
- 01
Upload the moment
A video off your phone — the first dance, the candles, the voice you want to keep.
- 02
Design the card
Your photo on the front, a line of your own. You see it before you pay.
- 03
They tap. It plays.
Hold a phone to the card and the video opens. No app. No QR code. No account.
What they see
No app. No sign-up.
Just the video, immediately.
Your guest holds their phone near the card. This page opens by itself and the video starts. They never make an account, never install anything, and never see an ad beside your first dance.
- Opens in the phone’s own browser, in about a second
- YouTube and Vimeo links play here too — never on YouTube
- Lock it with a password and it shows nothing without one

Why they keep them
A photo says it happened.
This lets them live it again.
Paper favors go in the trash on the drive home. A card that plays your wedding video goes in a drawer — and comes back out every time someone visits. That is the difference between a souvenir and a keepsake.
- Swap the video whenever you like — the card never changes
- Lock it with a password, or leave it open to everyone
- Already on YouTube or Vimeo? Paste the link instead
- Hand printed, so small runs cost you nothing extra
Occasions
One card. Every moment worth keeping.
The same object works for the happiest day of someone’s life and the hardest. That is rather the point of it.
Birthdays
Collect messages from everyone who loves them onto one card. Watch their face when they tap it.
Birthday cardsRemembrance
Their voice, still here. Something the family can hold at the service and keep for the years after.
Memorial cardsStraight with you
Dote is new.
There are no reviews on this page yet, and I would rather tell you that than invent some. Every card is printed by hand here in San Diego, tapped on a real phone to check it works, and put in the post by me. If yours turns up wrong, or does not play, reply to your receipt and I will make it right.
— Dote, San Diego
Checked before it ships
Every card is tapped on a real phone before it goes in the envelope.
It cannot go stale
The card points at a page you control. Change the video in ten years and the same card still opens it.
Yours, not ours
Password-protect a memory and we show nothing publicly — not the title, not the photo, nothing.

Questions
The things everybody asks.
Does it need an app?
No. Every iPhone since the XR and virtually every modern Android reads the card natively. You hold the phone near it and the video opens — that is the whole interaction.
Can I change the video later?
As many times as you like. The card points at a page you control, so the same card can hold a new memory next year. It never needs reprinting.
Can I keep it private?
Yes. Put a password on it and only people you give it to can watch. You can add, change or remove that any time.
What if my video is already on YouTube?
Paste the link instead of uploading. It plays right on your card page — no ads, no recommended videos afterwards.
How fast do they ship?
Printed by hand and shipped within 24 hours. If you have a date, tell us at checkout and we make sure it lands before it.
What if a card does not work?
Every card is tapped on a real phone before it goes in the envelope. If one still fails, reply to your receipt and we replace it.
I need a hundred of them.
Our favorite question. Sets are cheaper per card — $11 each at 150 — and each one can point at the same memory or a different one. Email hello@itsdote.com.
