How is this different from a normal wedding guest book?
Guests contribute photos and stories from their phones — not just a signature. We turn those moments into illustrated panels in a hardcover book the couple keeps forever.
Do guests need an app or account?
No. Share one link or QR code. They upload from any phone in seconds.
Can we set this up before the wedding day?
Yes. Create your book early, share the link with the wedding party, and keep collecting through the reception and after-party.
Can we preview before ordering copies?
Absolutely. Your first panels are free to preview. Digital is ready the same day; printed hardcovers ship in about five business days.
Can guests order their own copies?
Yes — additional copies of the same guest book are 25% off, so friends and family can take home the same keepsake.
What if we don’t love it?
Then you don’t pay. Every recap carries a 100% happiness guarantee.
