At a milestone birthday, people come together who rarely see each other otherwise: family, school friends, colleagues. Everyone has a story with the person celebrating – but in the bustle of the party there's hardly time to tell it. The audio guest book gives these stories a place: pick up the receiver, speak after the beep, hang up. The wishes are kept as voice messages, and you listen to them later in peace.
Why the audio guest book suits a birthday
- A voice says more than a card. Intonation, laughter and slips of the tongue bring the wishes to life.
- For quiet guests too. Anyone who doesn't like speaking in front of everyone can whisper a few words to the phone.
- A gift that lasts. Many little messages become an audio album you can listen to again on every birthday.
The greeting
With the greeting you set the tone: “Hello! This is [name]'s guest book phone. After the beep you have a minute – tell me what you wish me for my birthday, or tell me what you remember.” You can upload your greeting or record it directly on the phone, and several greetings are available to choose from.
Ideas for questions for your guests
- “My favourite moment with you”
- “What I wish you for the year ahead”
- “The most embarrassing story about you – told with love”
- “A piece of advice I'd like to give you”
- “The song that reminds me of you”
Tips for the location
- Quiet but still visible: a spot away from the music, but where guests pass by.
- Announce it: a small sign or a sentence in the speech: “Leave the birthday person a message on the phone.”
- Listen later: plan a quiet moment – the morning after, with coffee, or together with the family.
Technology without tech stress
The audio guest book needs no Wi-Fi and works fully without a phone. Optionally, you connect your phone via QR code to the device's own Wi-Fi, upload your own greetings and give guests access to listen during the party. After the party you download all recordings yourselves – or have them sent to you – and, if you wish, delete everything yourselves at the end.
Pick-up or by post
In Frankfurt and the surrounding area you collect the audio guest book from us, with an introduction at hand-over. For all other places in Germany we send it by post, with a return label enclosed. Allow a little time buffer and ideally enquire a few weeks in advance. Looking for a gift? There are also gift vouchers.
Together with the photo booth
Pictures to take home and voices to listen to – they complement each other. There's more about the photo booth for birthdays on its own page; if you book photo booth and audio guest book together, there's a combo discount. Everything important about the device is on the audio guest book page.
