# Thank you for coming: an end screen and a follow-up GIF

Put a warm “thank you for coming” on the big screen as the event closes, then send a looping version to everyone who was there.

Free, no account needed

A “thank you for coming” screen is the last thing guests see as an event ends: a short looping video on the projector or TV with your thanks, the date and perhaps a photo or the next date for the diary. Pick a design here, change the words, export a Landscape 16:9 MP4 and play it on repeat as people leave.

Afterwards, export the same design as a GIF and drop it into the guests’ group chat, the event page or a follow-up email. It works for birthday parties, launches, conferences, school fairs, quiz nights and church services, and it is all made in your browser with nothing uploaded.

## How to make a thank you for coming screen

1. ### Choose a party or event design
In **Templates**, pick from birthdays, weddings and parties. It opens in Landscape 16:9, the shape of most projectors and TVs; **Format** offers Vertical 9:16 for phones.
2. ### Write the closing words
In **Text**, set “Thank you for coming” and a second line: the date, the host, a safe-journey message or the next event.
3. ### Add a photo or a logo
Press **Add photos or clips** to add a picture from tonight, the organisation’s logo or a sponsor’s, if you have permission.
4. ### Export for the screen and for the chat
Press **Export video** and choose **MP4** for the screen, then export again as **GIF** for sharing afterwards. **Download video** saves each one.

## Where a thank-you screen helps

### Parties and celebrations

At a milestone birthday, an anniversary or a christening, the screen that showed photos all evening can end on a thank-you from the hosts. Guests take photos of it, which is a nice keepsake.

### Conferences, launches and talks

Leave it running while people collect their coats, with the event hashtag or the date of the next one. If a speaker needs a closing slide inside their own deck, the [thank you slide](https://thankyou.video/thank-you-slide) page covers that version.

### Church and community events

A gentle “Thank you for coming, see you next Sunday” on the screen after a service or a fundraiser, with the notices for the week underneath.

## Lines for the screen

* Thank you for coming. Safe journey home.
* Thank you for coming and making tonight so special.
* You came, you danced, you made it. Thank you.
* Thank you for joining us. See you next year.
* Thank you for coming. Please take some cake home.
* Thanks for being here. Doors open again next Friday.

Keep it to two lines that can be read from the back of the room. Large text, high contrast, no small print.

## Playing it on the night

* **From a laptop:** open the MP4 in the computer’s video player, make it full screen and turn on repeat or loop.
* **From a USB stick:** many TVs play MP4 files straight from a USB port; test it on the actual TV before the day.
* **Inside a slide deck:** insert the MP4 on the final slide and set it to play automatically.

The day after, send the GIF with a few photos to the guests. For a birthday, pair it with lines from the [birthday wishes thank-you](https://thankyou.video/thank-you-for-the-birthday-wishes); for a wedding reception, the [wedding thank you video](https://thankyou.video/wedding-thank-you-video) goes further.

## Thank you for coming: questions

### What can I write instead of “thank you for coming”?

Try “thank you for joining us”, “thanks for being here”, “thank you for celebrating with us” or “thank you for spending the evening with us”. Add a second line with something specific to the event.

### Which format fits a projector or TV?

Landscape 16:9 fills almost every modern TV and projector. Use Vertical 9:16 only for something people will watch on their phones.

### Will the video loop on the screen?

Set your video player or TV to repeat and it will play round and round. The GIF version loops by itself wherever it is shown.

### Does the GIF have sound?

No. GIFs are always silent. Export **MP4** if you want music on the screen.

### Is anything uploaded?

No. Your photos and logo stay on your device and the files are made in your browser, free and without a watermark.
