Collect blessings, advice, and photos on a live bar or bat mitzvah message wall. Guests post from their phones and the screen fills through the celebration.

## What this solves

A bar or bat mitzvah gathers grandparents, cousins, classmates, and family friends around one young person on the day they are asked to stand up as an adult. A live wall gives every one of them a way to mark it.

Guests post blessings, advice, and photographs from their phones while the celebration runs. Because the room spans four generations, the wall does what a receiving line cannot: it lets a grandparent's blessing and a classmate's joke sit side by side, and it keeps both long after the party is cleared.

## Why GuestWalls fits this event

- **Four generations, one wall:** Grandparents and classmates use the same simple browser form, so nobody is excluded by the technology.
- **Moderated when it matters:** With a room full of thirteen-year-olds and their phones, approval mode keeps the screen exactly as dignified as you want it.
- **A keepsake, not a slideshow:** The complete wall replays afterwards, so the blessings become something the family keeps rather than something that scrolled past.

## Setup

1. **Set the wall up with the party planning.** Create the event, choose a preset that suits the venue, and add the code to the place cards.
2. **Ask for blessings, not just congratulations.** A clear prompt on the card turns a wall of "mazel tov" into something worth rereading.
3. **Run it through the reception.** Show the display during the meal and dancing, with one adult keeping an eye on the approval queue.

## Prompts for guests

Give guests something specific to write toward:

- “A blessing for the year ahead.”
- “What were you like at thirteen?”
- “Post a photo of them from when they were small.”
- “One thing you admire about them already.”
- “Advice for the next time something feels too hard.”

## Frequently asked questions

### Can we keep the screen clean with a room full of teenagers?

Yes. Approval mode holds every post in a host queue until an adult publishes it, so nothing reaches the display unreviewed.

### Can guests post in Hebrew?

Yes. Messages accept any characters your guests type, including Hebrew script.

### Can relatives abroad take part?

Yes. Anyone with the event link can post from anywhere, and their message appears on the venue screen live.

### Do we keep the messages afterwards?

Yes. The host can replay the complete wall after the celebration and revisit it during the event's retention window.

## Product boundaries

GuestWalls accepts posts directly through an event link or code; it does not aggregate public hashtag posts. Guests use a browser and do not create accounts. The venue display needs an internet-connected computer and screen. For product-wide privacy, retention, availability, and recommendation details, read https://guestwalls.com/index.md.
