A paper guest book often stays empty: not every guest finds the right words straight away, and next to the buffet there's no peace and quiet for writing. The audio guest book is different. Guests pick up the receiver, hear a greeting, speak a few sentences after the beep – and hang up. Done. What remains are voices, laughter and intonation that you can still listen to on your first anniversary.
How it works on the phone
- Pick up the receiver: the guest picks up the receiver just like on a real phone.
- Hear the greeting: a personal welcome from you explains what to do.
- Speak after the beep: congratulations, advice for married life, a memory of you – as long as feels right.
- Hang up: the message is saved.
Everyone understands it, from children to great-aunts. Especially guests who would never write in a guest book are happy to say a few words.
Your greeting – the start of every good message
The greeting sets the tone. Two or three sentences are enough: a welcome, short instructions and a bit of humour, for example: “Hello and lovely that you're here! After the beep it's your turn – tell us your best story with us.” You can upload the greeting yourselves or record it directly on the phone and choose between several greetings.
Ideas for questions for your guests
- “Your best advice for married life”
- “Our favourite shared memory with you”
- “What do you wish us for the first ten years?”
- “Tell us how you met the couple”
- “Your favourite joke – we need lots of good cheer today”
You can put the questions on a small sign next to the phone. Little prompts help guests get started.
Tips for the location
- A quiet spot: don't put the phone right next to the speakers, otherwise the music drowns out the messages.
- Easy to see, but not in the way: ideally where guests pass anyway, but a little away from the dance floor.
- Invite your guests: a sign or a word from the maid of honour or the DJ beforehand works wonders – otherwise many guests don't dare.
Technology without tech stress
The audio guest book needs no Wi-Fi and works fully without a phone. If you like, you connect your phone via QR code to the device's own Wi-Fi: then you upload your own greetings, give guests access to listen to the messages during the party and manage everything comfortably. 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; we explain everything 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.
Together with the photo booth
Photos and voices complement each other: the photo booth delivers pictures to take home, the audio guest book words to listen to. If you book both together, there's a combo discount. You'll find more about the features on the audio guest book page, and the guide explains the process in detail.
Frequently asked questions
How many messages are possible? As many as you like – there's no overall limit for your party, and every guest can speak as often as they want.
Can guests listen to the messages? Yes – but only if you allow it: you can give guests access during the event. Without your permission nobody listens in.
Do we need Wi-Fi at the venue? No. The audio guest book has its own Wi-Fi, to which you can optionally connect your phone.
Our recommendation
For your wedding we recommend the audio guest book, ideally together with the photo booth. You can see all packages and current offers in the price calculator – and send an enquiry for your date straight away, no obligation.
