Many people hesitate because they are unsure what to say. This can affect all ages, from children to grandparents. Providing gentle guidance removes that pressure and helps guests feel more confident picking up the phone.
As an optional extra, we offer prompt cards that are unique to The Telephone Guestbook. These sit beside the phone and give guests simple ideas such as sharing a favourite memory, offering marriage advice, or leaving a heartfelt message for the couple. They guide guests without making the experience feel staged or scripted.
Children often respond well when an adult reads a prompt aloud, while older relatives enjoy being invited to share stories or words of wisdom. Having these prompts available helps guests of every generation leave meaningful messages you will treasure for years to come.
