Digital guestbook for your wedding: the words, and even the voices, of your guests
Published on July 18, 2026 · The Fotelya team
The guestbook left on a table at the back of the room often ends up half-empty, filled with hurried 'congratulations' scribbled as guests leave. The digital guestbook flips this on its head: everyone writes from their seat, at the perfect moment, and the most moving messages can even be voiced.
Why rethink the guestbook
The paper guestbook has a certain charm and one structural flaw: it exists in only one place, at one single moment. Guests rush past it, the line grows long, and the most heartfelt words remain trapped in people's minds.
Digitally, the guestbook lives in every guest's pocket throughout the evening. They can write between courses, after the speeches, or the next morning as they relive the celebration. The message arrives when the emotion is fresh.
And it travels: a loved one unable to attend the wedding can still leave their note on the big day, using the link. Paper simply can't do that.
How it works with Fotelya
It's the same QR code used for photos: guests scan it, share their images, and leave their message right away. No app, no account, no password required.
Written messages and photo challenges are included in all plans, starting with the free album. You can view everything from your organizer dashboard and maintain full control: the guestbook can be adjusted or disabled at any time.
Everything is private: the album and its guestbook are only visible to those with the link, with an optional PIN code.
The voice guestbook: hear, not just read
This is the feature that truly moves people: with the Premium plan (€89), guests can record a 60-second voice message directly from their phone.
The slight crack in a voice, a laugh mid-sentence, a grandparent's accent: things no writing can convey. Years later, hearing these messages again is unmatched.
Sixty seconds is deliberately short: enough for a heartfelt word, short enough that everyone feels comfortable trying.
Save, export, revisit
The guestbook stays with your album: the full download includes written messages and audio files, all in one go.
You're free to do with them as you please: read them again, lay them out in a printed album, or weave the voice notes into your wedding film.
As for duration: the free album lasts 30 days, Événement keeps it for six months, and Premium for twelve months. And when the time is up, everything is permanently deleted, as promised.
