A guest book for a new baby
The wishes of family and friends, gathered for the new parents and for the child when they are old enough to read them: words, photos and voices, even from those who live far away.
Why a digital guest book
Words for later
The messages of family and friends, gathered for the parents today, and for the child when they are old enough to read them.
The whole family, even far away
Grandparents, uncles and aunts, friends living abroad: everyone takes part from their phone, with a message, a photo or a voice note.
A gift that takes up little room
Not one more object in the nursery: a memory to relive, and to print with the PDF booklet.
How to organise it, step by step
- Step 1Create the bookletTitle (“Welcome Léa!”), the parents’ first names as recipients, and the reveal date: the birth, the return home or the christening.
- Step 2Invite the familyCopy the link or print the poster with the QR code. Everyone adds their memory from their phone, with no account and no app.
- Step 3Let the memories come inGrandparents’ advice, pregnancy photos, wishes for the child: nothing is visible before the big day.
- Step 4Give it to the parentsOn the chosen date, send the secret link by e-mail or hand over the QR code. The first names appear, then the memories one by one, with music, before the full wall.
Message ideas
To help those who don’t know what to write. Sentence starters are also offered in the form.
- “Welcome, little Léa: everyone here was waiting for you impatiently.”
- “What I wish for you: your mother’s curiosity and your father’s laugh.”
- “My advice for new parents: sleep when the baby sleeps (we know, it is easier said than done).”
- “The day I heard about your birth, I was…”
- “What I will tell you when you are older: how your parents met.”
- “Thank you for making us grandparents: it is the most beautiful title.”
How many cards should you plan for?
For close family, the free 10-card booklet or the 25-card one is enough. With friends and extended family, plan for 50 cards.
Frequently asked questions
Who should the guest book for a birth be sent to?
To the parents: they receive the secret link on the chosen date. You can indicate that it is addressed to several people: the texts then speak to all of them.
Can it be kept for the child?
The guest book stays online for 3 months after it is sent (6 months with the “Online + 3 months” option). To pass it on to the child later, the PDF booklet keeps it forever.
Can other people see the guest book?
No. It is never public or offered to search engines: it can only be reached through its link. Before the reveal, each contributor only sees their own memory.
