How Much Does a Wedding Audio Guestbook Cost?
Audio guestbook prices range from about $45 to well over $600, and the difference comes down to whether you rent hardware or use a QR code. Here is exactly what you pay in 2026, including the fees that are easy to miss.
Phone rental: $150 to $600
Renting a vintage phone is the priciest option. Typical rental packages land between $150 and $600 depending on the length of the rental and the company. On top of the base price, watch for:
- Round-trip shipping (often $30 to $80)
- Damage deposits or insurance
- Extra fees for audio file downloads or editing
- Late return charges if you miss the ship-back deadline
Buying a phone: $80 to $300+
Some couples buy a converted handset outright. The phone itself runs roughly $80 to $300, but you still need a way to record and store the audio, and you are left with a phone you will probably never use again.
Digital QR code: $45 one-time
A digital audio guestbook has no hardware, so the cost drops sharply. InviteQR is a one-time $45 with unlimited 5-minute messages, unlimited guests recording at once, no shipping, and no subscription. You print a sign and you are done.
