Pick a celebrity.

- Cameos can vary greatly in terms of cost. Some stars offer their services for as little as $10-15, while others may demand several hundred. Also be on the lookout for a small flag with a heart in it, indicating celebrities who donate their proceeds to charity. Why not support a great cause while you’re at it? A celebrity’s specific charity will be listed atop their profile.
Create a Cameo account.
Once you initiate a booking through Cameo, you will be prompted to create an account. You may do so via Facebook, or by manually inputting an e-mail and password. A Cameo account is required in order to complete your request.
- Creating a Cameo account is free, and provides you with access to exclusive deals and discounts on future video messages.
- A Cameo account also allows your requested celebrity to follow up with you in case they have any questions, or would like some more details in crafting your personalized message.
Fill out the Cameo request form.
To complete your Cameo request, you must indicate for whom the Cameo is being made (someone else, yourself, or a brand/business) as well as who is sending it. You also must categorize your requested video as either a birthday greeting, a pep talk, a roast, or something else entirely. You are also encouraged to write out detailed instructions for the celebrity. Provide them with some info about the video’s recipient, and explain why you requested that celebrity in particular!
- Cameo also allows you to indicate pronouns for both yourself and your recipient, ensuring the celebrity’s final product is both accurate and respectful.
- Consider leaving your phone number as part of your request, so Cameo can send you updates on the progress of your order.
Check out and wait for your video!
Once the form is completed, you are ready to check out! Provide your payment information, and wait for your video to arrive.
- Cameo accepts all major credit cards, as well as PayPal and digital wallets. Cameo only places a temporary hold on your debit/credit card as an authorization until the video is completed.
- The base cost of a celebrity on Cameo guarantees that your video will arrive in 2-7 days. Most celebrities offer to complete the video within 24 hours, however, for an additional cost.
- If your request is not fulfilled within the 7-day timeframe, Cameo will lift the hold on your debit/credit card and cancel your request.
Check your inbox.
