AUDIO GUESTBOOK SETUP

  • Definitely!

    The VoiceBook phone is a self-contained phone with no telephone line, cell connection, internet or wifi requirements.

    The only thing you need to do is plug it into the included power bank that will last 12+ hours, or into a wall outlet.

    It’s really that easy!

  • We suggest you set the phone up in a prominent place where your guests will gather, but away from speakers, dance floors, or bars.

    Avoid setting it up in foyers and hallways. Guests tend to not leave messages on the way in or out of the event.

    You want the maximize the amount of messages you get so setting it up in highly visible areas within your event space, helps with that.

  • We suggest that you set up the audio guestbook at least an hour before your event starts.

    This way, if you have any issues with the setup, you can simply contact us and we can help you.

    Also, you can scan the QR code included on the box and also in the information packet to help with the set-up.

  • Yes! Moving your VoiceBook audio guestbook to a new location does not affect the messages already recorded on the audio guestbook.

    As long as the audio guestbook is plugged into the wall outlet or power bank charger, it is able to record messages.

    Most customers use the audio guestbook for multiple event activities.

    EX: rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, reception, next day brunch, etc…

  • To get the most possible messages, we include a card to give to your dj, band, or designated emcee to let guests know that the phone is there to help capture memories, just like you would with a traditional guestbook.

    With our full setup, you get a 12” neon “leave a message” sign and a custom 8x10 sign in an acrylic frame. These items bring attention to your guests to come over and leave a message or two!

USING THE AUDIO GUESTBOOK

  • It’s a piece of cake!

    At your event, your guests will:

    -pick up the receiver and hear your pre-recorded greeting (we upload it on the phone prior to shipping)

    -after the beep, they will simply talk into the receiver and leave you their message and hang up

    -your guests’ messages are safely recorded within the phone

    With the full setup, we include a 12” neon “leave a message” sign and customized 8x10 sign in an acrylic frame.

    The customized sign includes instructions and ideas of what kinds of things guests can say during their message.

  • Most definitely!

    You have unlimited space for guests to leave as long of a message they want and unlimited space for messages.

PACKING UP THE AUDIO GUESTBOOK

  • We include video packing instructions that you can access via the qr code printed on the outside of the shipping box as well as in the printed instructions in the clear plastic sleeve.

    We have also included photo instructions printed on stickers on the inside of the box.
