What's a good greeting for a family answering machine?

Question

I mostly use the phone 95% of the time, but like 50% of the messages on the AM arent for me. So its going to be my message, but will be directed at alot of people calling for like my mom.

I'm 19... getting calls from my boyfriend.

She's 50... getting calls from like work and stuff.

So i need something cute and unique but still appropriate for her.

Something more than, You've reached the ____ Residence, Leave a message after the beep.

So boring!

Answer 1

How about you and your mom saying, hi you've reached (then you say your name and your mom says hers) Leave a message and the one you want to speak to will call you back shortly, have a wonderful day and thanks for calling.  Hope it works for ya :)

Answer 2

You can say anything you like but do try to keep it short, nothing worse than listen to a long message.....

Hope this helps?
