Photo album

Does the photo album keep working after the event?

By Nimanto 1 min read

In short

Yes. The album, its link and its QR code keep working after the event and after the invitation is Completed. Guests can keep adding, saving and sharing photos until you switch the album off or close it to new photos.

Most photos arrive after the party, when guests go through their camera roll. The album is built for that: nothing about it ends with the event.

What keeps working

  • The link and the QR code. Anyone holding them can open the album until you reset the link or close the album.
  • Adding photos. Guests can add photos and short videos as long as Guests can add photos is on. Approval, hiding, blocking and reports work exactly as before.
  • Saving and sharing. Any guest can open a photo and choose Save or Share, and share the whole album with the phone's share sheet.
  • The e-mails about new photos. Guests who said yes keep getting the batched e-mail while E-mail guests who said yes when new photos are added is on and the invitation is published.

A day after the event date the invitation is shown as Completed in your dashboard. It stays online, and so does its album; only the poster banner at the top of the Photo album page goes away.

Reminding guests to add theirs

The morning-after thank-you to guests links straight to the album and asks them to add their own photos from the day. Switch it on under Message guests, then Scheduled, then Automatic messages. See Guest thank-you mail. Your own summary of the day arrives separately; see The morning-after summary.

Closing the album

  1. Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Photo album.
  2. Switch off Guests can add photos to keep the album as it is, still visible to everyone invited.
  3. Switch off Album is open to close it to guests altogether. Hosts can still open it.
