For a celebration
A guestbook everyone can call.
The Celebration Line is a phone number guests call to leave a wish, a memory or a message for a wedding, a milestone birthday or a retirement. Nobody answers. Every message is recorded, written out, and kept.
Guests can call from any phone, even a landline. No app to download.
Giving it? After checkout, we ask who it’s for.
How it works
Share the number, and guests call from anywhere.
-
Set it up
Tell us who it’s for, the date if you like, and who looks after the Line. Then call it once to hear how it says their names.
-
Share the number
Put it on the invitations, on a card at each table, or in a post. The link opens a page of questions guests can start from.
-
Guests call and leave a message
Before the day, on the day, or long after, from any phone. Each caller presses 1 to agree before anything is recorded. Nobody answers.
-
Every message, kept
Each message waits for the person who looks after the Line, who chooses which ones others hear and which go in the book.

The page the link opens: questions guests can start from when they call. The names on it are made up.
What comes with it
Every message, and a book of them.
One archive
Every message, dated and kept in one place: the recording, and the words written out.
Written out
Every message comes with a transcript, so you can read it as well as hear it.
You decide
Nobody else hears a message until the person who looks after the Line approves it. They can keep any message private, or delete it.
Share and download
People you add can listen and download while the Line takes calls and for 90 days after. What you download is yours to keep.
The book
A book of the messages you approve, with “Celebrating” and their names on the cover, to download as often as you like. Each message has its own code in the margin, linked to its recording.

Questions
Before you give one.
Does anyone answer?
No. Nobody answers. Guests hear who the Line is for, press 1 to agree, and speak after the tone.
When can guests call?
Whenever they like, for a year from the day it’s bought: before the day, on the day, or long after.
Who hears the messages?
First, only the person who looks after the Line. They choose which messages others can hear and which go in the book.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. After checkout, we ask who it’s for and who looks after it, and we email them the number and how to share it.
Is anything mailed?
No. You print the cards yourself, as many as you need for the tables or the invitations.
What happens after the year?
The Line stops taking calls, unless you choose another year when we email before it ends. You and the people you add can still listen and download for 90 days after it closes, and what you download is yours to keep.
Does it work on a landline?
Yes. Guests can use any phone. There is no app to download.
