Practical guides to your guests’ photos and videos
Straightforward advice for gathering, showing and keeping what your guests share, whether you use Video Message or not.
Every wedding, birthday or family celebration produces hundreds of photos taken by guests. Most of them never leave the phones they were taken on. These guides answer the questions hosts ask before the big day: where should the photos go, how do you tell guests, how do you put them up on a screen, who gets to see them and how long are they kept.
Each guide opens with a short answer, walks through the main types of solutions with their honest pros and cons, then explains where Video Message can help. Every fact is checked and dated.
