Before, during and after the wedding
A digital guest book can begin when the invitation is sent rather than waiting beside the reception exit. Guests can leave a message when they RSVP, relatives who cannot attend can still contribute, and the same link remains familiar after the event.
- ✦Well wishes with the RSVP
- ✦Notes from guests who cannot attend
- ✦A prompt for advice or a shared memory
- ✦Moderation before anything is displayed publicly
Use a prompt that earns a real answer
‘Leave a message’ often produces congratulations and little else. A specific optional prompt—your favourite memory of the couple, a song for the dance floor, or one piece of marriage advice—gives guests something warmer to respond to.
- ✦What is your favourite memory with us?
- ✦Which song should bring you to the dance floor?
- ✦What should we do on our first anniversary?
- ✦Share one wish for our life together
Privacy comes before display
Guest messages may contain personal stories. Keep the collection private by default, moderate anything that will appear on the public invitation and make the prompt optional.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do guests need to download anything?+
No. They can leave a message from the same mobile web invitation used for RSVP.
Can we review messages privately?+
Yes. Couple-facing responses stay in the private management experience unless you deliberately display selected content.
Can guests who decline still write a message?+
Yes. A guest’s attendance answer and message are separate parts of the response.
Is this a photo-upload guest book?+
This page describes Wedvite’s guest-message experience. It should not be presented as a shared photo album unless that feature is enabled for the invitation.
