Set up a live engagement party message wall in minutes: guests post congratulations, predictions, and photos from their phones onto one shared screen.

## What this solves

An engagement party is the one night where everybody who has an opinion about this couple is finally in the same room. Give them somewhere to put it.

Guests scan a code and post the story of how they found out, the photo from the group chat, or the prediction they are prepared to stand behind. It runs on any screen at the party, and because the wall stays with the couple, it becomes the opening chapter of a wedding year rather than a night that disappears the next morning.

## Why GuestWalls fits this event

- **Set up on the day:** Engagement parties are rarely over-planned. The wall takes a few minutes to create and needs nothing but a screen and a code.
- **Catches the group-chat photos:** The pictures that would have stayed in six separate phones end up somewhere the couple actually keeps them.
- **Warms the room up:** Guests from different parts of the couple's life read each other's messages, which is a faster introduction than any seating plan.

## Setup

1. **Create the wall the week before.** Pick a warm preset, name the event, and share the link in the group chat so messages arrive before anyone does.
2. **Put the code on the drinks table.** One card where people naturally stop is more effective than a code on every seat.
3. **Show it, then keep it.** Run the display through the evening and replay the whole thing for the couple at the end.

## Prompts for guests

Engagement parties respond well to prompts with a bit of mischief. Try one of these:

- “Where were you when you found out, and what did you say out loud?”
- “Post the earliest photo you have of the two of them together.”
- “Predict one detail of the wedding day.”
- “What should they absolutely not do at the wedding?”
- “In three words, describe them as a pair.”

## Frequently asked questions

### Can we start the wall before the party?

Yes. Share the link or code as soon as the event exists and guests can post from anywhere, so the wall is already full when the party starts.

### Can we keep using the same wall for the wedding?

Each event is its own wall, which keeps the engagement party messages intact as a separate keepsake. Most couples create a fresh wall for the wedding day.

### What if we do not have a big screen?

A laptop, a television, or a tablet propped on the drinks table all work. The display adapts to the screen it is opened on.

### Can guests who could not come still post?

Yes. Anyone with the link can post from anywhere, which is often how family abroad take part.

## 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.
