"The 'Snapshot Decade' slideshow: Curate 10-15 photos and a few short video clips from each decade of their life (0-10, 11-20, 21-30). Set it to 'Uptown Funk' by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars for a vibrant 3-minute tribute."
"For a fast-paced, celebratory mood, consider 'Crazy in Love' by Beyoncé. It's energetic and perfect for showcasing a montage of unforgettable moments from their twenties."
