CHATTERBOX

HOW TO SETUP YOUR VOICE MESSAGE 

chatterbox
Thank you again for having Chatterbox be a part of your celebration! Having written messages from the ones you love is great,
but hearing their voices is a memory you'll want to come back to.

Please take a moment to review the information below.
This mainly regards whether or not you'd like to make a custom voice message that the guests will hear when they pick up the phone, and info on where and how to set up the phone.

Custom Voicemail Message

There are two ways we can do this, read through to decide which option is best for you.

You can either:

- Leave me a voicemail on my cellphone (I can export this to a computer file to upload to Chatterbox). Just let me know when you’d like to call so I don’t answer the phone. I would shut it off so if you need to call a few times to get the message right that would be fine. I would go with the last message or the one you liked best. It's no bother if you need to take a few tries to get it right. My (Stephanie's) cell phone is 724-601-5840

​

QR Code Whatsapp

OR (this is the most common way)

- You can download WhatsApp to your phone to leave a voice message.

Here’s the step-by-step -it’s easy and only takes about 10 minutes:

    1. Download the WhatsApp app if you don’t have it already

 

    2. Scan with your phone’s camera the QR code seen on this page, that will take you to my WhatsApp to leave a message.

Or click this link (you’ll need WhatsApp on your phone or desktop): https://api.whatsapp.com/message/7LEXX4UHTTMFK1?autoload=1&app_absent=0

 

    3. Hold in the microphone icon (the one next to the camera icon) to begin your voice message. Most couples take a few tries so you can redo as you'd like. To delete, you can hold your finger on the message for a moment, select delete and start again.

Custom Message Ideas

Don’t make the message too lengthy - short and sweet it perfect! I have a few examples here, feel free to pull from each group and add your words, or come up with something new all together!

 

- Hi, this is (bride’s voice, say name) and this is (groom’s voice, say name)!

Thanks so much for celebrating with us tonight! Please leave us a message after the tone.

 

- Hi, this is (bride’s voice, say name) and this is (groom’s voice, say name)!

Thanks so much for celebrating with us tonight! Please leave us a well-wish, a memory you have of us, or any advice you’d like to give! See you on the dance floor!

 

-Hey yinz guys (if you want something Pittsburghy)!

We can’t come to the phone right now, we’re celebrating our wedding day! Please leave us a message after the tone! Many years from now your message will help us remember how being surrounded by our families was the best start to our marriage. Thank you, we love you!

or - No Custom Message,
Use the Pre-Recorded Message

I get it, there's already a lot on the to-do list so maybe there isn't time to make a custom message, or really don't want to use your voice. We can use mine instead! Here's an audio clip of it. If you choose to go this route, this is what your guests will hear when they pick up the phone, and a beep will follow it. 

 Setup Requirements 

1. You'll need a spot for the phone. The best place is often near a card box or welcome table - somewhere everyone will stop. Even consider a cookie table spot is space allows. I've had the phone within 30 feet of a live band and it's picked up voices perfectly, so put the phone where the people will be. You'll get the bulk of your messages during cocktail hour.

2. Ideally the phone will have access to an outlet (two or three prong).
Please note, the phone will come with two fully charged battery packs in the event an outlet is not available. 

3. Plug the phone in and it will automatically turn on after five seconds. You can check this by picking up the phone and you should hear it ring. If it doesn't ring, hang up and try again as it may not have turned on yet. (This will be done and ready to go if Stephanie is setting up for you.)

4. The phone is ready to use after it's plugged in, it's that easy. Place the 'how-to' sign next to the phone. Please ask your DJ and your wedding party to tell guests to use the phone (you'll get way more messages when your people advocate for it!).

5. If you're mailing the phone back - when the night is over, simply unplug and pack it up per the instructions in the mailing box. There will be an inventory sheet included, and the pre-paid mailing label.
