Common Questions About Guest Photo Checklist
Will a guest photo checklist distract from our professional photographer?
Not at all. Professional photographers focus on key formal milestones and artistic couple portraits. Guest shot lists focus on spontaneous peer-to-peer moments, table selfies, and candid dance-floor laughs that happen across the room.
How many cards should we print?
Print one card for every 4 guests, or two cards per 8-person round dining table. You can also place cards at the bar and next to the guest book.
Can we customize the prompts for our specific wedding theme?
Yes! You can edit any prompt, add custom inside jokes, or mention specific traditions like a cultural money dance or sparkler send-off.
How do guests share their shots with us after the wedding?
Include your WedShare QR code on the card. Guests scan the code and upload their photos directly from their camera rolls without downloading an app or creating an account.
