Digital wedding guestbook: the complete guide
A digital wedding guestbook lets guests leave a message, a photo or a video from their own phone by scanning a simple QR code, instead of writing a few lines in a notebook that ends up in a drawer.
Why replace (or complement) the paper guestbook
A paper guestbook has real limits: only one guest can write at a time, handwriting gets messy by the end of the night, and it can't hold a single photo or video. Once the wedding is over, it usually ends up stored away in a cupboard.
The digital version removes those limits: several guests can write at once from their own phones, photos and videos are as easy to add as a message, and even loved ones who couldn't attend can leave a note by simply receiving the link.
How to set it up for your wedding
- 1
Turn on the guestbook in your space
It's included for free, right from the starter plan, nothing extra to buy.
- 2
Guests scan the same QR code as their invitation
No second code to look for: the one they already have also opens the guestbook.
- 3
Optional moderation before publishing
If you'd like, every message is approved by you before it appears.
- 4
Everything ends up in a downloadable gallery
Messages, photos and videos, viewable and downloadable after the wedding.
Included, not sold separately
Some services sell the digital guestbook as a standalone product, billed on its own. With QrGuest, it's part of the same space as the invitation, seating chart and photo sharing, with no extra device or subscription to manage on the day.
