There are so many bells and whistles and amazing wee add-on's that you can have as part of your wedding these days. So why should you choose a video guestbook for your wedding over something else.

Vintage Video Guestbook Phone

For a start if you were already thinking of having a traditional written guestbook then a video guestbook is the perfect modern upgrade to this. Written guestbooks feel old fashioned and the amount of times that people have told me they never look at it is too many to count. But with a video guestbook not only do you get a vintage style phone that stands out more than a book you get video messages that capture the faces and voices of your loved ones. You can download the video to your phone too which means if you need a smile its easy to play and look back on one of the best days of your life.


In my experience of hiring out a video guestbook I have seen that your guests will enjoy leaving a video message more than a written message as it's more of a fun experience. You can get multiple video messages from your guests too from heartfelt to hilarious and I can almost guarantee that at least one person will sing down the phone.


A video guestbook phone can also serve as a photo/video booth alternative meaning that you can save some of your wedding budget. The video guestbook that I hire can also take photos! Your guests can leave a message and then take a picture too and if you have some props on hand it really does become it's own video guestbook and photobooth hybrid.


With a video guestbook it also means that in years to come, you have video and audio of your nearest and dearest that may not be around anymore. It's a lot more personal than a written message and your guests tend to leave more varying messages than they would in a written guestbook.

When you hire a video guestbook from Time Capsule Productions, I combine your video messages with songs from your wedding day and make you a fully edited guestbook wedding video. These can be the song you walk down the aisle to, your first dance song, or any song you choose to soundtrack your day. As well as this I will include any photos taken on the video guestbook phone and any other photos and videos from your wedding day that you want me to include.

A video guestbook package includes the video guestbook phone hire, your choice of frame for your fully custom personalised sign to tell guests how to use the phone, a custom screensaver to match the sign, delivery and return postage for the video guestbook and a USB and keepsake box for the finished video.
