Video Guestbook vs Digital Guestbook: Which Is Right for Your Event?
Not every event needs the same kind of guestbook. Choose based on the experience you want to create, not just the latest trend.
Paper guestbooks
A straightforward way to collect names and handwritten wishes. Great for physical keepsakes, but handwriting cannot capture tone of voice or facial expressions.
Text-based digital guestbooks
Digital forms make it easier to collect names and written messages, especially at larger events. Keep the form short so it doesn't feel like a survey.
Video guestbooks
Video messages capture voices, expressions, and spontaneous stories. They can be especially meaningful to revisit later, but guests need connectivity, camera permission, and a comfortable place to record.
How to choose
Use paper or text when attendance records matter most. Choose video to preserve people's voices and expressions. Combining formats can work well. RORAKAY focuses on browser-based video greetings shared through a link or QR code.
