What Is a Video Guest Book?
A video guest book replaces the paper guest book with a QR code. Guests scan it with their phone and record a short video message in the browser, with no app and no account. With Video Message, the same QR code also collects photos and written notes, shows the photos live on a screen at the party, and turns the video messages into a first film delivered within 24 hours after collection closes. The host then builds a second, personalized film with photos and notes, and downloads every file. It works for weddings, birthdays, retirements and every celebration.
Why video? A paper book collects signatures. On video, you hear the voices and see the faces, exactly as they were that day. And because guests use their own phones, everyone joins in, not just the few who find the book on its table. All of it for $49, one time.
Everything Video Message does
How It Works: before, during and after your event
From the weeks before the party to the film you will still be watching ten years from now, Video Message is with you at every step.
-
01 · Before
Get your event ready
Create your event, then display your QR code on signs, menus and table cards, or send the guest link by text or email. Set up moments like the ceremony or the toasts, and run several events from one account.
-
02 · During
Your guests join in
Guests scan the QR code with their phone and send up to 3 one-minute videos, photos and a written note, with no app. Their photos can play live on a screen at the venue.
-
03 · After
Relive and keep · 2 films included
Your first film arrives within 24 hours after your event’s collection closes, then you build a personalized film with photos and notes and download every file.
During the party
Your guests’ photos light up the big screen
Open the slideshow link on any screen or TV with a web browser and an internet connection. Photos appear as guests send them, in the style you picked: Elegant, Polaroid or Festive.
You decide before the party: photos show up automatically, or only once you approve each one. No photo booth to rent, no technician to hire: a screen and the link are all you need.
The slideshow shows photos only. Video messages go into your films.

After the event · A keepsake, not a file
Two films, plus every single file
A first film made from the video messages, delivered within 24 hours. Then a second film you put together yourself with your guests’ photos and written messages. It’s the film you’ll play at anniversaries, the one your parents watch in silence, the one your children ask to see years from now.
From unboxing at home to rewatching it years later
-
Film 1 · Your first film
Edited automatically from the video messages, with music and transitions, and delivered within 24 hours after collection closes.
-
Film 2 · Your personalized film, included
A second film on top of the first: add your guests’ photos and written messages, then choose the order and the mood. Your first film stays available.
-
Your film, your way
Pick the music, the color look of the film and the mood of the transitions, and write your own opening and closing text.
-
Share your films with family
Send your films by link to parents, grandparents and friends who couldn’t come. They watch from anywhere, with nothing to install.
-
Every photo and video from the party
Watch each message on its own in your dashboard, then download all the photos and videos as ZIP files once collection is closed and your first film is ready.
-
The message book
A PDF of every written message, to keep or to print.
-
Your files, protected, then deleted
For your guests’ security and privacy, we delete everything 3 months after your first film is delivered. That gives you plenty of time to download it all: the deadline is shown in your dashboard, and we email you a reminder before anything is removed.
Let's be honest
Traditional Guest Books Fall Short
Generic Messages
“Congratulations! Best wishes!” The same words in every guest book, and years from now you can’t tell who wrote them.
Quickly Forgotten
Paper guest books get opened once, maybe twice, then sit on a shelf collecting dust for decades.
Missing Personality
Written words can’t capture Uncle Joe’s laugh, grandma’s happy tears, or your best friend’s voice cracking with emotion.
Capture Real Emotions: on Video, in Photos and in Words
Video Message turns your celebration into something you will actually revisit. Every laugh, every tear, every heartfelt word, kept exactly as it happened, along with the photos your guests took, from the people you love most.
Why choose us
Video Message vs. The Alternatives
vs. Paper Guest Books
Generic one-line messages. Forgotten on a shelf. No personality.
Videos, photos and notes keep the voices, the faces and the real emotion.
vs. Audio Phone Booths
Audio only: you hear the voice but miss the expressions and the tears.
Full video messages with faces, gestures and genuine reactions, plus the photos.
vs. Camera Kiosks ($300+)
Expensive to rent. Bulky equipment. Needs power and space.
Guests use their own phones. No equipment, no setup hassle: even the slideshow only needs a screen.
vs. DIY Video Solutions
Scattered videos on different phones. No organization, no final edit.
Every video, photo and note in one place. Two edited films, included.
vs. Photo-Sharing Apps
A shared album and nothing more: no video messages, no film, and often an app to install.
We are a shared photo album too, with no app, plus a live slideshow, video messages and two films.

What Wedding Kit buyers are saying
★★★★★
“Collecting video messages from guests feels so much more personal and emotional than a traditional guest book. The gift box makes it feel special, with everything needed to get guests to participate.”
Sharon D, reviewed on Amazon
★★★★★
“One of the most memorable additions to our celebration. Watching guests share stories and congratulations feels far more personal than signatures on a page, a keepsake to revisit for years.”
Madame Snufflehouse, reviewed on Amazon
★★★★★
“A brilliant modern alternative to a guest book. Something couples will really treasure years later, hearing the voices and messages from family and friends all in one place.”
