- Group chat photo dumps die in the camera roll
- The best shots are scattered across 8 phones you'll never see
- Shared albums are too much friction for casual guests

Setup tips
Setup tips for a great party gallery — London
1 Drop the QR on the favors table
Or tape it to the cake stand. Guests scan when they're already standing there, not when you remind them later.
2 Skip the per-guest limit for short parties
Under 3 hours, a generous shot allowance works better than a tight one — there's no time for spam.
3 Reveal the gallery during cake
Live shared gallery while everyone's still in the room beats sending a link two days later that nobody opens.
4 Mention privacy on the QR card
UK guests appreciate a one-line note that uploads are private until the host reveals the gallery — it raises participation noticeably.
