Make the messages effortless to leave

Prompts only work if recording is effortless. With a QR-code audio guestbook, guests scan, tap record, and speak from their own phone — no app, no rented vintage telephone, no queue at a single station. Every message lands in the same private gallery as their photos and videos.
