Birthday party photo sharing

Birthday party photo sharing with PhotosPlease works the same way as for weddings. You create an event and show its QR code at the party. Guests scan it and upload their photos and videos from the browser. You end up with one private gallery of the whole evening that you can download.

Why it suits a birthday

At a birthday the host is busy and the best photos are on other people's phones. One code on the table or the cake stand collects them while the party is still going on.

Set it up in a few minutes

Create an event and name it, for example “Sam's 40th”.
Pick a theme and an accent colour, and add a cover photo if you like.
Print a table card with the QR code, or show the code on a screen.
Tell guests to scan it. Afterwards, download everything as a ZIP file.

Good to know for parties

Photo challenges give guests small missions and get people mixing.
The slideshow can show approved photos on a TV during the party.
For a child's party, keep the guest gallery off and add a PIN so that only invited families can upload.
Milestone birthdays are a good use for the audio guestbook: guests can leave a spoken message.

What PhotosPlease adds to a birthday

One event holds the whole party: uploads from every guest, in original quality, in a gallery that stays private until you open it. The optional extras that suit birthdays, such as photo challenges, the TV slideshow and the audio guestbook, are switched on per event, so a small family gathering can stay as simple as a single upload button.
