Choose by what you want to keep
| Alternative | Guests contribute | You prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Instant-photo book | A print and handwritten note | Camera, film, book and pens |
| Advice cards | A message or favorite memory | Cards, pens and a box |
| Signed puzzle | A name or short wish on a piece | Puzzle and permanent pens |
| Recipe cards | A favorite recipe | Cards and a collection box |
| Video messages | A short recorded message | A device and clear instructions |
| QR photo album | Photos and short videos from their phones | An event album and printed code |
A photo album is not the same as an audio guestbook. OwnPix collects photos and video clips; use a separate voice-message service if recorded audio is the keepsake you want.
Make it easy to join in
Put the station near the entrance or drinks table. Try a specific prompt: “Share one favorite memory with us.” For an album, add: “Scan to share your photos and videos.” Ask before sharing pictures of other guests.
For instant prints, leave film and a pen nearby. Fujifilm's Instax mini 12 specifications explain its film and development time.
