What is a video guest book for a celebration?

A video guest book collects messages as videos instead of handwriting. You create it, then share one link by message and display one QR code at the party. Guests open it in their phone's browser, with no app and no account, and send videos of up to 1 minute, plus photos and written messages. You receive every video message, the photo album, the written messages and 2 films. It is not a paper book.

A guest book you watch, not a book you flip through

Many people who search for a guest book are looking for a paper one. This page is about the video version. Nothing is printed and nothing is signed with a pen. Your guests use the phone already in their pocket.

A celebration brings together people from different parts of your life. Some will speak easily to a camera. Others would rather write a few lines or send a photo. A video guest book leaves room for all three.

How it works for you, the host

1

Create your video guest book

You set up your event and get one link and one QR code. One account can manage several events, each with its own code.

2

Send the link, display the QR code

Send the link by message, WhatsApp or email before or during the party. Print the QR code on signs and table cards, and place it in several spots at the venue.

3

Guests send their messages

They send during the party and for a few days after. You choose when the collection closes, and you can send guests a reminder.

4

Receive and keep everything

When you close the collection, the first film is ready within 24 hours. You then build your personalized film and download everything to keep.

How guests film or pick a video on their phone

A guest scans the QR code or taps your link. The page opens in the phone's browser. There is nothing to install and no account to create. They give their first name, then choose what to send.

For a video, they can film with the phone camera or pick one already saved on the phone. Each video lasts at most 1 minute, and each guest can send up to 3 videos per phone. That is enough for a toast, a memory or a simple thank you.

Guests can also add photos and written messages. Someone shy on camera can still leave a few warm lines.

What you receive

Four deliverables, all yours to keep.

Every video message on its own

Each video message arrives as its own file, so you can watch it and download it separately.

The photo album

Every guest photo goes into your album, and it goes to you only. Guests see other guests' photos only if you open the guest gallery, or on the live slideshow, which you can moderate.

The written messages

All written messages are gathered for you, also as a PDF book. It is digital only and never printed.

2 films

The first film is made automatically from the video messages. Then you build a personalized film mixing videos, photos and written messages. You choose content, order, mood, music, color look, transitions and opening and closing text.
