Everyone hears it, at once
Live event announcements
Not every venue has a working microphone, and not every guest is in the room to hear it anyway. BlueBox lets you publish announcements straight to the phone every guest is already holding.
Beyond the microphone
Some guests are outside,
at the bar, or just not listening.
A spoken announcement only reaches whoever happens to be in earshot at that exact moment. Guests who stepped out, are chatting at another table, or are simply hard of hearing over the music miss it entirely — and then ask someone else what was just said.
BlueBox announcements are published from the organizer app to the guest hub, where they sit alongside Find My Seat, the program and the menu. Whenever a guest next checks their phone, the announcement is there.
Publish in seconds, from the organizer app
When something changes — dinner is starting, the bar is moving upstairs, the first dance is about to begin — you write it once in the organizer app and it's live for every guest.
- No microphone, sound system or staff announcement needed.
- Publish as many announcements as the event calls for.
- Guests see it in the same guest hub they're already using.

Part of the guest hub, not a separate app
Guests already open the guest hub to find their seat, follow the program or check the menu. Announcements live in that same place, so there's nothing extra for a guest to install, sign up for, or remember to check.

Timing that matters
Say it once,
and let every guest see it.
Whether it's a schedule change, a request from the couple, or a note about where the after-party is heading, a published announcement reaches the whole guest list without anyone having to shout over the music or track people down table by table.
Frequently asked questions
How do announcements reach guests?
You publish an announcement from the organizer app, and it appears in the guest hub on every guest's phone, alongside Find My Seat, the program and menu.
Do guests need to be looking at their phone at the exact moment?
Announcements appear in the guest hub, so a guest sees the latest announcement whenever they next check their phone during the event.
Can I send more than one announcement during an event?
Yes. You can publish as many announcements as you need over the course of the event, from the organizer app.
Is this the same as a text message or email blast?
No. Announcements are published to the guest hub that guests already have open for the event — BlueBox does not send SMS or email.
Can announcements be shown on the BlueBox display?
Announcements are part of the phone-based guest hub. The BlueBox display is focused on welcome, name search and the table reveal.
