| Shared folder | Open a link to the folder | Upload permissions and how guests find the photos |
A service your family already uses may be convenient. A dedicated QR album gives guests a direct event page to open from a printed code. Test the guest view rather than relying on the host's screen.
Plan for the whole day
Put the QR code where guests pause and send the link to people who are not attending. If you use a delayed reveal, say so beside the code. Send one reminder afterward for guests who prefer to upload at home.
Keep your photos
Check when uploads close and when the gallery expires. Download your collection before that date and keep another copy on a drive or cloud service you control.
