What is a graduation video guest book?
A graduation video guest book replaces the card with a link and a QR code. Family and friends, including the relatives who could not get a seat at the ceremony, record up to 3 videos of up to one minute, send photos and write a note, with no app and no account, before, during and after the party. Photos can play as a live slideshow. You keep the videos, the photo album, the written messages and two films: the first arrives within 24 hours after the collection closes, then a personalized film. With Video Message it costs $49 for the event, with no limit on guests.
How it works
Get your link and QR code
By email, right after you order. Send the link with the announcements, by WhatsApp, text or email, to grandparents, relatives abroad and teachers, and print the QR code for the party tables.
Your guests take part
A message on video, photos from every stage, a written note, from the hall or from home.
You receive everything
The videos, the photo album, the written messages and two films: the first graduation film within 24 hours after the collection closes, then your personalized film.
What you keep from the graduation
The whole road, not only the gown.
The video messages
The grandparents without a ticket, the teacher who pushed them, the roommates about to scatter.
The photo album
Kindergarten, the braces years, the dorm move-in and tonight. Photos play on a screen at the party, and you can choose to open the album to your guests.
The written messages
Notes from those who would rather write, gathered in a PDF message book.
Two edited films
A first film of the messages within 24 hours after the collection closes, then a personalized film with the old photos and notes. Share them by link with everyone who watched the livestream; photos and videos download as ZIP files and stay for 3 months after your first film.
Picture it
The grandparents who couldn’t travel
They record from their living room and land in the same film as the family in the hall.
The teacher, the coach, the tutor
One link forwarded to a school address gets a message no relative could give.
A degree that took longer than four years
The people who covered shifts and watched the kids finally get to say what it cost.
The last week before everyone scatters
A record of who they all were before the jobs and the moves.
Getting a graduation film worth watching twice
The ceremony has a guest limit. The film does not.
Schools cap tickets at two or four, and grandparents and relatives abroad end up watching a livestream.

With the link, they record from home the week before, and the film does not mark out who was in the hall.
Ask the people who are not family
The teacher, the coach, the tutor, the manager who moved shifts around exams: none are ever invited to say anything.

Forward the link to five of them by name. They tend to record the longest messages.
What to ask people to say
With no prompt, guests say congratulations and how proud they are, all in the same words.

“What was he like at fourteen?” “Tell her about the year she nearly quit.” A question turns an eight-second clip into a minute.
High school and college are not the same job
High school is a family event: collect messages addressed to the person they are becoming.

College is friend-heavy: the roommates and classmates will not be together again, and they know it.
The audience is not the graduate today
Twenty-two-year-olds watch this once. The film is for them at thirty, when the teacher has retired and nobody remembers who said what.

Download the films, the photos and the clips within the 3 months your files are kept.

Questions
How many people can record?
There is no limit on the number of guests. Each person can record up to 3 videos of up to one minute, send photos and write a note. The first film is made from the video messages; the photos and notes go into your personalized film if you choose.
Can grandparents and relatives who could not attend record?
Yes, and it is the main reason families use it. Ceremonies cap tickets at two or four, so share the link and anyone who could not get a seat records from home. Their message sits in the film alongside the people who were in the hall.
Does this work if it is just a family dinner?
Yes. Ten people who each answer a proper question make a better film than forty who say congratulations. Small groups tend to record longer, more specific messages because nobody is queuing behind them.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. They scan the code, the recording page opens in their browser, and they record. No app, no account, no sign-up.
When do we receive the films?
Your first film arrives within 24 hours after your event’s collection closes, with every individual video to download and keep. Then you build your personalized film with the photos and notes. You choose when the collection closes, a few days after the event if you like.
What should we ask people to say?
Give one specific question rather than an open invitation. “What was he like at fourteen?” or “tell her about the year she nearly quit” gets a story, where “say a few words” gets forty versions of congratulations.
Can we include teachers, coaches and tutors?
Yes. Forward them the link directly. They are not on the family list and they are rarely asked, and their messages are often the ones the graduate replays.
How long can each message be?
Each person can record up to 3 videos of up to one minute, which is enough for one story told properly. They can also send photos and write a note.
Can we show photos at the graduation party?
Yes. Open your slideshow link on a TV, screen or projector with a web browser and an internet connection, and photos appear as guests send them, automatically or once you approve them. The slideshow shows photos only.
Can relatives send photos from school years?
Yes. Guests send photos from their phone, several at a time, including scans of old prints. They join the album and can go into your personalized film next to the messages.
How far ahead should we set it up?
A couple of weeks before the ceremony. That gives you time to name the graduate, choose the music, print your sign, and send the link with the announcements.
Does it work for a college graduation as well as high school?
Yes, and for nursing school, law school, a master’s, an apprenticeship or a degree finished at fifty. Anything where people spent years getting somewhere and the day is marked with a dinner and a photograph.
Does this work outside the United States?
Yes, anywhere in the world. Nothing ships to you: your QR code and guest link arrive by email the moment you pay, and your guests take part in their phone’s browser. It works the same in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, across Europe and anywhere else. This page shows US dollars; we also have pricing pages in pounds, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Swiss francs and euros, and you pay in the currency of the page you buy from.
What language is it in?
Each event runs in the language you choose: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German or Portuguese. The guest page, your dashboard and the wording in your films follow that language. Your guests can speak or write in whatever language they like; nothing is transcribed or translated, so each message stays exactly as they recorded it.
Can we collect for longer?
Yes. Guests take part before, during and after your event, from the moment you share the link. You set the closing date, a few days after the event if you like, and can move it from your dashboard.
