What is An Audio Wedding Guest Book?

So what is an audio wedding guest book? Well, it's a wedding guestbook with a twist. An alternative to the traditional pen and paper guest book, an Audio Wedding Guest Book is a retro-style, rotary telephone where guests can pick up the receiver, and hear a pre-recorded greeting from the couple, before leaving their own voice mail message for the newlyweds after the beep to be cherished for years to come.

Throughout the wedding reception guests can come up and record a heartfelt (or funny!) message for the wedding couple on the phone (we have some suggested messages below). You can then have your recordings sent to you after the big day - authentic and unfiltered!

Whether it's words of wedded wisdom from your auntie, your bridesmaid reminiscing on how you and your other half met, your flower girl's favourite part of the day, or maybe your brother's rendition of Sweet Caroline after a few tipples, you'll be transported back to your special day by listening to the voices of those you love.

How Do I Set Up An Audio Wedding Guest Book?

Make sure your audio guest book station is set up clearly so guests don't miss it, but also somewhere you could comfortably have a phone conversation.

Whether you set up a cosy spot with signage (Hello #instagrammabledecor!) prompting guests to leave a message, or go all out and have a telephone booth for guests to enter, you’ll want to create a space that your guests will gravitate to that's comfortable.

Make your audio guest book area a wedding album photo op! - Have your photographer capture moments of your family and friends leaving messages - laughing, crying and everything else in between!
