Create the album and give it the name people already use for the event. "Spring Supper Club" beats "SSC 2026 Media". Guests see this name the second they scan, and it tells them they're in the right place.
Add a cover photo if you have one. A photo of the venue, the cake or last year's crowd works fine. A blank cover looks like a link that broke.
The album description is your instruction card. One line: what is in there for them, and what to add. "Come find your photos from today, and add your best shots too."
If you want specific photos, add a prompt or two inside the album, like "your table" or "the first dance". A prompt with a shape gets better photos than a general request.
An empty album makes everyone hesitate. Add five photos from your own phone: the setup, the venue, a detail, a person, something a bit silly.
Photos of people beat polished product shots. If you have a photographer, add their shots of guests as they come in, so everyone who scans has a reason to look for themselves.
Grab the album's QR code and put it on a sign with three things: the QR, one line of instructions, and the short link underneath for anyone whose camera won't cooperate.
Size matters more than design. A coaster-sized QR works from about a metre away. A postcard-sized one works across a table. Print an A4 for anywhere people stand at a distance.
Before printing a stack, scan the test print with three different phones. If one struggles, make it bigger or put it on a plain white background.
Tape signs where people wait: the bar, the food table, the coat rack, each dinner table. The front door is the worst spot, because people arriving are looking for their friends.
Then scan one of your own signs from where a guest would stand, add a photo, and check it lands. Done. The next morning, send the album link round with one line: your photos from the event are up, come find yourself.

Copy these for the sign, the album and the group chat.
“Scan me! Come find your photos from today, and add your own photos and videos to the album. No app needed.”
“Your photos from today land here. Come find yourself, and add your best shots too.”
“Here's the album for Saturday: [link]. Add anything you take, photos or videos. No app, takes about 20 seconds.”
Create a shared album, copy its QR code onto a printed sign, and tape it where guests wait. Guests scan it, the album opens in their browser and they add photos from their camera roll.
Not with MyWrap. They scan the code or open the link, and the album opens in their phone browser. No app, no account.
As a rule of thumb, coaster size for a table, postcard size for across a counter, and A4 for a wall people see from a few metres. Test the print with three phones before you print the rest.
Yes. Guests add photos and videos from their camera roll to the same album.
They stay in the album, where every guest can come back to find theirs. Keep the album open for a few days, because the best photos often arrive the next morning.
