Wishes and the wish book

Besides photos and videos, guests can write a note to the hosts or record their voice and leave a voice wish. Wishes are stored with the guest's name. The studio can download the written wishes as a single PDF, the wish book, and hand it over to the hosts.

What you can do today

• Let guests leave written wishes of up to 1000 characters
• Let guests record voice wishes of up to 3 minutes
• Turn written and voice wishes on or off separately per event
• Approve, hide or delete wishes like any other content
• Download the published wishes with the Guestbook (PDF) button

Written wishes

1. The guest opens the Wish tab on the guest page.
2. They write their note in the Leave a wish box. The counter under the box shows the 1000-character limit.
3. They tap Send.

When the wish is sent the guest sees "Your wish has been sent. Thank you!". If the event publishes after approval, the message is "Your wish will appear once it is approved." A guest can leave at most 20 written wishes for the same event.

Voice wishes

The voice wish sits on the same tab, under the written wish.

1. The guest taps Start recording. The browser asks for microphone access; the permission is requested only when this button is tapped.
2. While recording, the button shows the elapsed time. The guest ends the recording with Stop; at 3 minutes the recording stops by itself.
3. The guest listens to the recording. They tap Record again to redo it or Send to submit it.

A voice wish is uploaded as a file; it counts towards the guest's upload limit and the event's archive space. If microphone access is denied, the page tells the guest to allow it in the browser settings. In browsers that cannot record audio, the voice wish section is replaced by "This browser does not support voice recording."; the guest can still leave a written wish.

Limits

Wishes can be left only while the upload window is open. While the window is closed, the Wish tab is not shown. You change the window with the steps in Creating and managing events.

Turning wish types on and off

1. Open the Settings tab on the event page.
2. Under What can guests leave?, tick or untick Written wishes and Voice wishes.
3. Click Save.

Both types are on for new events. If only voice wishes are on, the Wish tab shows only the recording section. If you turn both off, the tab is removed from the guest page.

Viewing and moderating wishes

In the panel, wishes are listed on the Written wishes and Voice wishes tabs of the event's Content tab. When you click a wish, a written wish opens full screen with the guest's name, and a voice wish plays in an audio player. The Wishes box at the top of the event page shows the total of written and voice wishes.

Wishes follow the same moderation rules as photos and videos:

• If Publishing is set to Publish after my approval, new wishes wait as "Awaiting approval" and are published with Approve.
• You can take a published wish down with Hide, bring it back with Show, and delete it permanently with Delete.
• A guest sees their own wishes on the My uploads tab and can delete them.

See Moderation and content reports for details.

Where wishes appear

The public gallery is visible to guests only when the event's Gallery setting is Public. The slideshow shows only published wishes; see Live slideshow.

Exporting the wish book as a PDF

1. Open the Content tab on the event page.
2. Click Guestbook (PDF) at the top right. The button is shown when the event has at least one written wish.
3. The PDF downloads in your browser.

The PDF is prepared in A4 size and contains:

• A cover page: the "Guestbook" heading, the event name, the hosts, the event date, the total number of wishes and your studio name.
• The written wishes: ordered from oldest to newest, each followed by the guest's name and the date and time it was written.
• A voice wishes section: the name of each guest who left a voice wish and the recording time. The recordings themselves are not in the PDF; you listen to them in the panel or in the ZIP archive.
• Page numbers.

Only published wishes go into the PDF; wishes awaiting approval and hidden wishes are left out. The accent colour comes from the Color field in the event settings. The headings are printed in English when the panel language is English and in Turkish for the other languages; the wish texts stay as the guests wrote them. Dates and times are written in Turkey time.

Emojis are not printed in the PDF; emojis in a wish are skipped and the rest of the text appears as written.

Review the Written wishes tab before you export. Take down wishes you do not want in the book with Hide and publish waiting ones with Approve; the PDF is prepared from the current state every time you download it.
