Audio & video guestbook

An audio guestbook on every guest’s phone. No phone to rent.

What is an audio guestbook? It’s a guestbook where people record spoken messages instead of writing them. With Sharefetti, guests record voice notes, video messages or written wishes on their own phone by scanning your QR code, and every message is saved with your photos.

How guests leave a message

Thirty seconds, from their own phone.

No queue at a phone on a table, no headset to pass around. Guests can record from their seat, during the after-party, or the next morning on the drive home.

  1. 1

    Scan the QR code

    The same code guests use for photos. Put a “Leave us a message” card by the bar or the cake.

  2. 2

    Tap “Leave a message”

    Choose voice, video or written. The phone asks once for microphone or camera permission.

  3. 3

    Record and review

    Guests can listen back and re-record before they send it. Nothing is shared until they tap Send.

  4. 4

    You get every message

    Messages appear in your Guestbook tab, private to you and your co-hosts unless you choose to share them.

A rented phone suits a vintage look and guests without smartphones. Many hosts use both: a phone at the venue and the QR code for everyone else.

Pick your favourite voice and video messages, put them in order and we’ll make one shareable montage with titles and soft transitions. Perfect for surprise birthdays and retirement send-offs.

More answers in the Help Centre

What is an audio guestbook?

An audio guestbook lets guests record spoken messages for the hosts instead of writing in a book. Sharefetti’s version works on guests’ own phones through your QR code and also records video messages.

Is this a good wedding audio guestbook alternative?

Yes. Instead of renting a vintage phone and waiting in line at one table, every guest leaves a voice message from their own phone, any time during the night. There’s nothing to ship back, and you can download every message as an audio file.

What’s the difference between an audio guestbook and a video guestbook?

An audio guestbook records voice messages only. A video guestbook records the guest on camera too. Sharefetti lets each guest choose voice, video or a written message.

Do guests need an app?

No. Guests scan your QR code and record in the browser on iPhone or Android. They only need to allow the microphone (and camera for video) once.

How long can a message be?

Voice messages can be up to 3 minutes and video messages up to 2 minutes. Written messages can be up to 1,000 characters.

Are guestbook messages private?

By default, only you and your co-hosts can see and hear them. You can choose to show written messages in the gallery or on the slideshow.

Can people who couldn’t come leave a message?

Yes. Send them your event link and they can record from anywhere while uploads are open.

Which plans include voice and video messages?

Celebration ($79 CAD / $59 USD) and Business ($149 / $109). Written messages are included on every plan, including Free.
