You’re choosing pictures for wedding thank-you cards: a laugh together, a hug with your grandparents, or your friends gathered at the reception. Some of those moments are still on your guests’ phones. Bring their photos into one event album with sync.camera, find the pictures that feel like you, and export your favorites. Then use your separate card-design or printing service to make your thank-you notes.
What is hard right now
- We want a picture that feels like us, but we haven’t seen what our guests took.
- Our families use different phones. We don’t want everyone to need another app just to contribute.
- My cousin caught a lovely moment with Grandma. How do we find her pictures among everyone else’s?
- We want to collect wedding memories without putting them on a public social feed.
Scenarios
Collect the candid couple photo you didn’t know existed
Imagine your cousin catches you both laughing between reception speeches. You weren’t posing, and you didn’t notice the camera. That could be the picture you want on your thank-you cards—if you get to see it.
Before the wedding, create an event, give it a name, and pick an end time. Share its QR code or eight-character invite with your guests so they can join and contribute. No account is required. Guests can use the invite link in a modern phone browser, with the iOS and Android apps available as optional ways to join.
Find a family moment for a personal thank-you card
Picture looking through your wedding album and remembering that your sister photographed you hugging your grandparents. You’d love to use that moment on their thank-you card, but there are contributions from many guests to look through.
Filter by photographer to narrow the album to your sister’s shots. Choose the picture you want and export it for your grandparents’ card. Before placing a print order, check the exported picture against your chosen printer’s image requirements.
Choose when everyone gets to revisit the wedding
You want your guests to revisit the day after the reception. Choose After the event to unlock the gallery when your event ends. If you’d prefer to leave a little more time, choose Additional delay and set the number of hours after the event ends before the gallery opens.
For a shared view throughout the celebration, choose During so guests see photos live as they are taken. Once the gallery opens, you can look through the wedding memories and export the pictures you choose for your thank-you cards.
Give each part of the wedding its own photo collection
Your ceremony might hold the family portrait you want to send to relatives. Your after-party might hold a relaxed group picture for the friends who stayed until the last song. Separating those parts of the day gives you a place to start when choosing pictures for different thank-you notes.
Use Moments to split your event into ceremony, reception, and after-party stages. Each has its own QR code and reveal timing, and guests can move between them without switching apps. When you’re ready to choose your card pictures, browse the relevant stage and export your favorites.
