Custom greeting for your audio guestbook

Learn about the default greeting your guests will hear, and how to record a custom greeting for your phone.

When your guests pick up the phone at your event, they'll hear a short greeting prompt before the tone. You can stick with our default greeting or record a custom one to make it personal.

The default greeting

Every phone comes loaded with our standard prompt:

"Hello, please leave a message after the tone."

This greeting plays every time someone picks up the handset. It's simple, clear, and works great for any event. The greeting does not include your name or any personal information unless you opt for a custom greeting.

Custom greeting option

Want to make it personal? You can record your own custom greeting that plays instead of the default. This is a fun way to add your personality to the experience. For example:

"Hey! It's Sarah and Mike. Leave us a voicemail and tell us something we'll want to hear 20 years from now!"

Custom greetings are available as an add-on. If you're interested, just add it to your cart with your phone or email us at [email protected] if you have any questions and we'll walk you through the process.

Good to know

The greeting restarts every time the phone is picked up, so each guest hears it fresh. Your guests don't need any instructions beyond picking up the handset; the greeting tells them exactly what to do.

If you have a DJ or band at your event, having them make a quick announcement about the audio guestbook is a great way to drive engagement. Check out our DJ/Band handout for a ready-made script.
