How do I add our guestbook?
Let guests leave messages and well wishes on your wedding website with the guestbook feature.
Short answer: Add a Guestbook section to your website where guests can write and read messages.
Adding a guestbook section
Go to Website > Builder
Click Add section
Under Wedding details, select Guestbook form
Configure the guestbook form
Click Save changes
How the guestbook works
Guests can write messages directly on your website
Each message appears as its own entry on the same page as the form, above or below it depending on the form's Add guestbook entries setting (Above form or Below form)
You can keep new messages private until you've reviewed them
Guests enter their name and message, and can upload a photo if you've turned on photo uploads
Moderating guestbook entries
To review messages before they go live:
Go to Website > Guestbook and click Settings to open Guestbook settings
Set Visibility of new guestbook entries to Private (admin only)
Click Save changes. New messages are now only visible to you and other admins
To publish a message, click Edit on the entry, open the Visibility tab, click Make public, and save
Displaying guestbook entries
Entries appear in the order they were submitted, oldest first:
- Public entries are shown to everyone
- Private entries are shown only to you and other admins
- To feature a message, move its entry up or down your page in the website builder, since each entry is its own section
There's no random order or separate "featured" display.
Tips
Set new entries to Private (admin only) if you're concerned about inappropriate messages
Check your guestbook regularly to make new entries public
Consider disabling the guestbook close to the wedding to avoid last-minute spam
Entries are only created when guests submit the form, but you can edit each entry's name, message, and photo
There's no reply feature, so thank guests personally if you want to respond
