A wedding video guest book guests can add to from anywhere
A wedding video guest book gives people a way to leave a voice, a face, or a favorite memory with their wishes. Watch the Album Map wedding example, then use this planning brief to invite contributions before, during, or after the celebration. Guests who cannot attend can use the same browser contribution link as those at the reception.

How to make your version
Decide when guests will contribute
Create a Wedding invitation project and choose a deadline. Collecting before the day can make a video ready for the reception; collecting afterward lets you include guests' own wedding photos and clips. Pick the timing that matches your plan.
Make the invitation clear
Share the private link, or display its QR code where invited guests can find it. Tell guests what the contribution is for and offer one or two simple prompts. Mention that a written note or a photo is welcome if they prefer not to record a video.
Review and shape the keepsake
Check names, remove accidental or repeated uploads, and arrange the memories and messages into a clear sequence. Choose a slideshow for a message-led guest book, or map locations when the places connected to the couple and guests help tell the story.
Preview with the couple in mind
Check that messages are audible, notes are legible, and the ending feels complete. Export and download the video, then share it with the couple. Discuss any public use of guests' contributions before posting the finished video online.
Small choices that help
- A QR card works best with a short explanation of what guests should contribute.
- Ask for recordings away from loud reception music when spoken messages matter.
- Keep the contribution deadline visible so guests know whether later uploads are welcome.
Bring your own story into the video
Start with your own photos, people, and places. See plans and export options.
