The Evolution of FêteFone / The Original Audio Guest Book
We get it: choosing who to trust with your priceless memories can be a tough decision. As the original creator of the audio guest book, FêteFone has redefined preserving memories. As we continue to lead the way in the audio guest book industry, we wanted to share how we got here. We believe the evolution of our guest books proves our commitment to providing the best experience for our customers.
How it all began
FêteFone was invented by award-winning event planners who noticed something was missing… Traditional guest books just aren’t capable of capturing the full emotions of guests. The laughter, warmth, and sounds of celebrations were fleeting. And thus the idea for FêteFone was born!
The Evolution: Virtual Experiences and Keepsakes
As in-person celebrations came to a halt in 2020, FêteFone introduced the Remote Call-In number. With a phone number people could call from their own phones, the capturing of loved ones voices didn’t stop! Remote Call-In numbers are available in over 20 countries!
As technology has evolved, so has FêteFone’s ability to preserve memories! We began by offering messages on a vinyl record and just recently introduced messages on cassette tape.
From renting to buying
Perhaps the most exciting evolution of the audio guest book is when FêteFone shifted from a rental service to a retail model. Now instead of renting your audio guest book, you can purchase your own to reuse for future events!
What FêteFone Offers Now
Before your event: With 20+ unique styles of audio guest books, you’re sure to find the perfect fit for your event with FêteFone. After placing your order online, your FêteFone will ship within one business day! There are multiple shipping speed options at checkout so you can choose what works best for your timeline.
Once you receive your FêteFone, follow the simple setup instructions and set up your outgoing greeting which guests will hear before leaving their message.
A sign will be automatically included, but feel free to customize one of our signage templates to match your event’s aesthetic.
Make sure to fully charge the included battery pack so it can have around 20 hours of power!
During your event:
Set up your FêteFone away from the loudest parts of your celebration so your guests don’t have to yell to leave their love! Once set up, it’s ready to go the moment it’s plugged in —no WiFi, internet, phone line or cell service required.
To leave a message, guests can simply lift the receiver! They’ll hear a dial tone, a few rings, and your greeting. Then they can leave their message and hang up without ever having to press a button.
Not only will your FêteFone help you capture the happiest moments of your life, but also acts as guest entertainment, a gorgeous piece of decor, and your guest book all in one.
After Your Event:
Your FêteFone isn’t just a guest book—it’s a treasured keepsake that you can display proudly in your home as a reminder of your special day. Every time you lift the receiver, you can listen to your messages and relive the joyous moments from your celebration.
With no delay retrieving your messages, you can use your FêteFone to listen to all your heartfelt and hilarious voicemail messages the moment your event is over. Or, transfer them using the included USB memory stick to listen to them on any device, or share them with friends, family members or even your videographer!
A Lasting Tradition
FêteFone’s evolution is a testament to how a simple idea can turn into a beloved tradition! FêteFone ensures that love, laughter, and memories will be cherished for generations. As the world continues to grow and change, so do we! But one thing always remains true: the most powerful way to capture memories is letting them speak for themselves.
