What is a Video Guestbook?
A Modern Alternative to a Traditional Guestbook
A video guestbook is a modern way to collect heartfelt video messages from friends, family, or colleagues — all in one private online space. Instead of written notes in a book, guests record short videos using their phone, tablet, or computer, capturing their voice, expressions, and personality in a way words alone can’t.
Whether it’s for a wedding, birthday, memorial, or special celebration, a video guestbook lets you keep memories you can revisit again and again.
How does a video guestbook work?
A video guestbook is simple to use:
You create your guestbook online in minutes
Share a unique link or QR code with your guests
Guests record video messages — no app required
All videos are stored securely and ready to download
Messages can be recorded before, during, or after an event, making it perfect for including people who can’t attend in person
Why choose a video guestbook?
Video captures the things written guestbooks miss:
Voices and laughter
Facial expressions and emotion
Personal stories and moments
Many people find video messages far more meaningful than written notes — especially years later, when you can still see and hear loved ones exactly as they were.
When are video guestbooks used?
Video guestbooks are commonly used for:
Weddings
Birthdays and anniversaries
Baby showers
Graduations
Memorials and celebrations of life
Team events and corporate milestones
They’re especially popular when guests are spread across different locations.
If you’re looking for a more personal way to collect memories, a video guestbook offers a simple, meaningful alternative to a traditional guestbook.
