Testing your album before the big day: a pre-wedding checklist

Run through this a week or so before your wedding. It takes about ten minutes.

The checklist

  1. Scan your actual printed QR code with a phone camera, not just the one on screen. Try an iPhone and an Android if you can.
  2. Upload a test photo and a short video as a guest. Check they appear in Guest uploads in your account. You can delete them afterwards.
  3. Check what guests can see. In Configure album, confirm the "Who can see the photos?" setting is what you want: visible to guests, reveal later (Disposable Camera) or only the couple.
  4. Check your guest limit. If you expect more uploaders than your plan allows, upgrade before the day. See How the guest limit works.
  5. Make sure you're sharing the guest link, not the address of your own admin pages. Use Share with guests → Copy link.
  6. Add a co-host (partner, parent, planner) so someone else can help on the day.
  7. Planning a slideshow? Switch on Slideshow in album settings and test it on the screen you'll use.
  8. Ask the venue about Wi-Fi. Guests can upload on mobile data, but large videos upload faster on Wi-Fi. Guests can also upload later from home.

Tips for more uploads

  • Put a QR card on every table and one at the bar, the guest book and the photo booth.
  • Ask your MC or DJ to mention it once during dinner.
  • Send the link by email or group chat the day after. Many guests upload once they're home.
