We are always on the lookout for unique additions when it comes to weddings. And one such element that is trending in weddings today are audio guestbooks! This super inventive and creative guest book alternative is unique, and exciting and will add to the fun day you’ve got planned. But what are wedding audio guestbooks?
Quite simply, an audio guest book is the interactive, audible version of the classic written guest book! While guestbooks aren’t part of traditional Indian weddings, it is catching up now. Guestbooks are books where guests write a few words of love for the couple, vs in an audio guestbook, you can actually record them over the telephone!

Now you can go a step ahead and actually sing in the audiobook as well. You can record funny anecdotes of the couple that you know, any old stories and fun memories for them to relive. At the end of the day, what the couple is left behind with is an amazing compilation of audio messages from friends and family who came to their big day. What a lovely memory to have, and so timeless!

Set it up with a vendor or your wedding planner to have a prominent booth so that guests don’t miss it. Ideally, it can be at the entrance so that everyone who enters knows about it. You can also choose to have a vintage or retro-style telephone so that it gives that old-world charm. We would also recommend having an audio guestbook at the cocktail party because there is where most crazy memories are going to be recorded!
Some quick tips while setting up your audio guestbook:
- Provide simple and easy-to-follow instructions for your guests to use. Consider that most of them have never used this before.
- Have it at a place where there is less noise to ensure good sound quality
- If possible, assign someone to man the booth and assist your guests.
- After the event, get a professional to edit and compile the messages into a final recording that you can treasure.
