Looking for something a little different to the traditional paper wedding guestbook? Then you'll love the latest trend that's popping up all over our Instagram and Pinterest feeds. Enter the Audio Wedding Guest Book, the perfect keepsake and the hottest interactive wedding trend around.
What is An Audio Wedding Guest Book?
So what is an audio wedding guest book? Well, it's a wedding guestbook with a twist. An alternative to the traditional pen and paper guest book, an Audio Wedding Guest Book is a retro-style, rotary telephone where guests can pick up the receiver, and hear a pre-recorded greeting from the couple, before leaving their own voice mail message for the newlyweds after the beep to be cherished for years to come.
Throughout the wedding reception guests can come up and record a heartfelt (or funny!) message for the wedding couple on the phone. You can then have your recordings sent to you after the big day - authentic and unfiltered!
Whether it's words of wedded wisdom from your auntie, your bridesmaid reminiscing on how you and your other half met, your flower girl's favourite part of the day, or maybe your brother's rendition of 'Sweet Caroline' after a few tipples, you'll be transported back to your special day by listening to the voices of those you love.
There’s something lovely about listening back to people’s voices years after the big day and this new trend is one of our favourite wedding guestbook alternatives we've seen over the last while. We expect this new sweet and very Instagrammable reception idea to pop up in lots of real weddings over the next while!
Not only is it a totally fun experience for your guests, it will leave you with a beautiful archive of your loved one's voices for years to come.
Where Can I Get An Audio Wedding Guest Book?
Love this idea? So do we! If you would like to feature this wedding guest book alternative at your wedding you'll need to rent the phone from a company that specialises in telephone audio guest books.
