How to use photo challenges

  • Choose six to twelve challenges — nobody at the table reads more than that.
  • Mix easy challenges, such as a selfie with the couple, with ones that require talking to someone.
  • Put the challenges where photos are taken anyway: on the upload page, not on a slip of paper that disappears under a plate.
  • Show the results live on the screen — nothing motivates more than your own photo on the wall.

Use the ideas straight away

All 60 ideas are ready as suggestions in your stream's settings, in eight languages. You add up to twelve with a single tap, guests pick one when uploading, and for each challenge you see how many photos have come in.

Common questions

How many photo challenges make sense?

Six to twelve. With fewer, the challenges are done quickly; with more, nobody reads them to the end.

Do guests need an app for the photo challenges?

No. With weddingphotos.live, guests scan a QR code and upload straight in the browser, picking the challenge from a list as they do.

When should the photo challenge start?

Ideally with the drinks reception. That gives guests the whole evening, and the first results are already running on the screen during dinner.
