What is GráFón?

GráFón is an audio guestbook service.

It is an alternative, interactive way for your guests to leave their well wishes, advice for the future, thanks for the day and even prank calls! 

 

After the event, the audio files are sent to you to enjoy and you can be be transported back to your special day by listening to the voices of those you love. These are voicemails you will never want to delete!

What people have to say:

Where did this idea come from?

My future husband and I are childhood sweethearts and our relationship started with very long phone calls into the night..even on a school night!.

 

We wanted to bring that element to our own wedding in September to honor how our relationship began in a quirky way! 

 

Sound is a powerful emotive force and there is nothing like hearing the voices of those you love on the day you declare your love for each other!

 

We then designed the product to be easy to use and stress free set up for the big day! 

 

How does the GráFón process work?

You simply record your own voicemail greeting for your guests to hear before they leave their own message. 

We will post the GráFón to you 2 days before your event. 

Simply plug it in and set it up how you like it. 

When a guest picks up your phone, they will hear your greeting and then can leave their message after the beep.

After your event, you simply pack it up in the box with the return address label and send it within the week after your event. 

Once the device is returned, we will send you a virtual download link to all of your special messages that you can have forever.
