A QR code only works if people scan it. At a wedding, that means making it effortless and obvious in the few seconds a guest glances at their table. Here's how to set yours up so the album actually fills.
Put the code where eyes already are
Guests won't hunt for it. Meet them where they're already looking:
- On the tables — a small card next to the centerpiece or folded into the menu.
- On a sign at the entrance or by the bar, where there's a natural pause.
- On the screen if you have a slideshow or projector running.
You can style the code to match your invitations — just scan it once yourself before you print a hundred to make sure it reads cleanly.
Ask for as little as possible
Every extra step costs you uploads. A guest only needs to enter a display name to start — no account, no app. Photos can be up to 50 MB each and videos up to 5 minutes, so the speeches and the first dance all fit.
Open uploads early
Turn on your event before the ceremony, not after. The getting-ready candids and the cocktail hour are some of the best photos of the day — and they only happen once.
Decide how hands-on you want to be
Two settings cover most weddings:
- Relaxed: leave review off so the album fills live and everyone can watch it grow on the big screen.
- Curated: turn on review so each photo gets your OK before it's public — nice for a formal reception.
Either way, you stay in control, and nothing expires — your album is yours to keep and download long after the last dance.
