Want to make sure your guests leave you tons of voicemails? Here are our tried-and-true tips to maximize engagement with your audio guestbook.

Put the phone where your guests will naturally see it and have a moment to use it. Avoid tucking it in a corner or behind a wall of decorations where it can't be seen. The best spots are:

Cocktail Hour Table - near the entrance, where guests are mingling and have downtime before the reception starts.

Welcome Table - where guests pick up name cards or programs.

Bar Top / Bar Area - a guaranteed high traffic area paired with a dash of liquid courage!

This is one of the single biggest drivers of voicemails. A quick 30-second announcement from your DJ or band letting guests know there's an audio guestbook makes a huge difference. We even have a ready-made handout for your DJ or band that you can share with them ahead of time.

A simple sign turns your audio guestbook into an effortless experience. It shows guests what to do, removes confusion, and encourages more people to leave messages so you capture more memories without any extra effort.

The best time for voicemails is during cocktail hour, when guests are relaxed and socializing but not yet seated for dinner. Make sure the phone is powered on and in position before guests start arriving.

Ask your bridesmaids, groomsmen, or a few close friends to leave a voicemail early in the night. Once a few people have used the phone, others will follow. It's contagious!

A personalized greeting adds a fun touch and can prompt guests to leave more creative messages. Check out our article on custom greetings to learn more.

On average, our clients receive 16+ minutes of voicemail messages, and 95% of clients receive 4 or more minutes. The phone captures everything from heartfelt advice to hilarious toasts. The more visible and accessible you make the phone, the more you'll get!
