One book in one place

There’s usually only one book, in one place, that can easily be missed.


People often forget to sign it

Easily lost

Books are easy to lose over the years as people move from house to house.

So they’re not a forever treasure

Limited space to write

There’s usually not much room to write, so comments are very pithy



Writing is often unintelligible/unreadable

Guestbooks — The old way

For most of history, guestbooks were made of paper.
As a result, they had many limitations:

Traditional Guestbook

Despite their shortcomings, Guestbooks were still nice keepsakes and pretty low cost, so we always had them at events!

Easy for you. Easy for Guests.

How it works

1. Signage:

Choose from dozens of professionally designed templates, all containing your personalized QR code and suggested text.

Want a different message that’s more “you”? It’s easy to edit on screen.

Then print it yourself or send to a printer. We provde all the tips you need.

Poster Examples

2. Video messages

Your guests scan your QR code and record a special heartfelt ... or funny ... message to you in seconds.

Whenever they’re in the mood.
No app or login needed.

And their video is immediately uploaded to your private account, in full quality, organized and ready for you at any time.

3. Merge and enjoy forever:

After the event, press a button to merge all clips into one single video.

Grab the popcorn and view the entire story.

Or first fine-tune it with some extra, creative touches with our easy-to-use Editing Suite.

Whenever you’re ready, share the link with friends and family or keep it private — it’s totally up to you.

1. Design your signage

We make it easy for you to design an event poster and table cards to match your theme — going for “light and airy” or “dark and moody”? Somewhere in between? Don’t worry, we’ve got a template for you.

We provide wording you can use or edit to your taste.

We also suggest ideas you can add to your web page to help your guests think about what to say.

2. Place Your Signage

Print your signage yourself or send to your
printer.

Place your signage around your reception —
several at each table and areas with foot traffic
such as a Photo Booth line, a bar line or restroom line.

3. Guests record their video messages

Guests scan the QR code and are whisked to your web page.

Give your guests ideas or suggest freestyle! You’ll love seeing the wonderful and hilarious memories your friends leave, or the advice of your favourite Aunt on your wedding day.

Psst — here’s where you can really show your unique side: give your guests a challenge, like silliest dance or funniest memory 😄

Just tap to record. It's as easy as that!

4. Watch and enjoy!

All videos are uploaded directly to your app in full quality, ready and waiting for you. No need to organize anything.

Whenever you're ready, log in, press a button and merge all the videos into one movie. Easy peasy.

And with 15 minutes of effort, you'll have a priceless keepsake to enjoy for a lifetime!

What our beta testers said

Michelle Sinclair

Star Rating

With video guestbook, I knew it would be nice to see my guests in the moment - while they were eating dinner, while they were dancing - it was so much better to see the moment versus just reading it on a piece of paper!

Jake Brown

Star Rating

We highly recommend using the Video Guestbook! It was much better than having a physical one that gets tossed in a closet somewhere. We were able to have our guests leave us some really creative submissions and put it all together into a video that we can keep handy for us to watch any time we want.

Marisa Cole

Star Rating

It was a really easy process from beginning to end, the website made a lot of sense and none of our guests had any questions about how to upload! We had so many people tell us that this was their favourite portion of the wedding.

Let’s Start the Party!

We know the memories you make are priceless - we’ll help you keep and cherish them forever.

FAQs

How is this different from (eg) a Happy Birthday video?

Before the event videos

You may have participated in a group birthday or wedding video , where you record a message remotely, before someone's big day. Then someone merges all the clips into a single video and shares it with a loved one as a surprise on the special day. They're terrific — We provide a fantastic service for those too!

At the event videos

Our new Video Guestbook feature is different. It's designed for at the event video messages from guests, capturing the electricity and spirit of the event. It's not a surprise for the star(s) of the show, but it is an amazing gift from guests!

How far ahead of our wedding can we set everything up?

We keep your account online and live from the moment you create the account until a minimum of 6 months after your wedding day. Everything will work, including your QR code, for the entire period. So you can begin at any time!

How long can Contributors’ video clips be?

They can be any length they wish — just not boring 😄  (and if they are, you can trim it in the app).

Is there a limit to the number of contributors?

No limit to the number of contributors. The more the merrier!

Who can see the video?

Producers (that’s you) have complete control. We don’t automatically share with anyone. Instead, we give you the tools so you can share it (or not share it) with whomever you wish. We keep a link to your merged video montage live for at least 6 months after your event.

Can I download the final video?

Absolutely. There’s a download button on the Process and Share page. You can download it any time within 6 months after your event.

Can I use your video guestbook for a Celebration of Life? Bar Mitzvah? Other event?

Absolutely. We've already had several customers do this — it’s a beautiful idea.

We’ve started with weddings, so most of our tips are wedding oriented. But most of the ideas still apply for any other type of event.

The most important thing for you to keep in mind is to have very visible signage as well as asking someone to make a clear announcement at the event asking people to do it.

Some example wording: “We are creating a video guestbook, and would love you to be part of it. Feel free to say anything you'd like. Perhaps share a memory or simply send best wishes. Whatever feels comfortable. We will later merge all of these video messages into one long video. It'll be a wonderful memory for the family.”

We're having a destination wedding. Can the link be used multiple days?

Yes. We keep your celebration online for at least six months after your wedding so people can contribute at any time during that period. 😄

Will there be a website link as well as QR code we can share?

Yes. The QR code links you to your personal web page. You can simply send that link to friends who either can't make it to the event, or perhaps send it afterwards to people who forgot to sign your video guestbook.

Does this work anywhere in the world?

Yes, our app works globally. All your guests need is good internet access.

Could we add names of the contributors to their video clips?

Yes. In our editing suite, you'll have several easy-to-use editing tools, including adding text, GIFs, stickers, volume adjustments, trimming.

Even easier, your guests will be adding their own names after they record. So you will automatically see them in the end credits after you merge them all into a single video.
