A digital guest book for your wedding

A paper guest book collects twenty rushed signatures. A digital one can collect the photos, videos and words your guests actually want to leave. Here are the options.

Short answerA digital wedding guest book is one guests fill in from their phones, usually by scanning a QR code. The most popular kinds are photo guest books (guests add photos with a message), video messages and audio guest books. FrameAmour works as a photo guest book: guests add photos and videos, and comments sit beside them.

Four kinds of digital guest book

Photo guest bookPhotos and videos, with commentsCouples who want to see the day through their guests' eyes
Written guest bookTyped messagesA digital version of the classic book
Video messagesShort selfie videosHearing and seeing far-away friends
Audio guest bookVoice messages, often from a vintage phoneEmotional keepsakes; usually a rented or bought phone

Why a photo guest book gets the most entries

Asking guests to write something meaningful on the spot is hard. Asking them to share the photo they just took is easy. Their phones are already full of the evening, and a photo with a short comment says more than "Congrats! Love, Tom".

It also gives you something you can't get anywhere else: dozens of different views of the same day, from every table.

How to set up a photo guest book with FrameAmour

  1. Create your gallery and print the QR card with your names.
  2. Put a card at the guest book table with a line like "Leave us a photo and a message".
  3. Turn comments on so guests can write beside their photos. If you prefer, use review mode to read comments before they appear.
  4. Add a missing-moment request such as "Show us your best dance move" to give guests a prompt.
  5. Download everything after the wedding to print a book or keep the originals.

Honest note: FrameAmour doesn't have a separate written-message page or voice recordings. If those matter most to you, use a dedicated audio or written guest book alongside your photo gallery.

Keep the paper book too, if you love it

A digital guest book doesn't have to replace the paper one. Many couples keep the book for signatures and put the QR card right beside it. Guests sign, then scan and add a photo, and you end up with both.

Questions couples ask

What is a digital wedding guest book?

A guest book guests fill in from their phones, usually by scanning a QR code. Depending on the tool, they leave written messages, photos, video messages or voice recordings.

How do guests sign a digital guest book?

They scan a QR code at the guest book table or on their table, which opens a page in their phone browser. With a browser-based tool there's nothing to download.

Does FrameAmour have a digital guest book?

Not a separate written guest book. FrameAmour collects guests' photos and videos with comments beside them, so the gallery itself becomes a photo guest book. If you want a dedicated written or audio guest book, pair it with a separate tool.

Can we print a digital guest book?

Yes. Download the photos and messages afterwards and make a printed book. With original-quality downloads, the photos print well.

Should we still have a paper guest book?

If you like the ritual, keep one. Many couples put a QR card next to it so guests can add photos as well as their signature.
