Why PicShots fits

Tuned for reception halls in Australia

  • One QR per table covers the room

    Reception halls are easy: print one QR per table, slip another near the entrance, and you have full coverage from arrival to last dance.

  • Designed for banquet-style timelines

    PicShots fits a structured timeline of arrival, ceremony, dinner, programme, and dancing. The same QR keeps working across every transition.

  • Encourage candid table shots

    Per-guest shot limits encourage intentional photos, so the gallery feels curated even when 80–200 guests are uploading.

  • Host moderation before reveal

    Keep the gallery hidden during the event. Review and remove anything you don't want public, then reveal when ready.

Setup tips

Setup tips — reception halls in Australia

  1. 1

    Print the QR on every table card

    Reception halls are essentially one big room — table cards are the highest-yield placement for the QR.

  2. 2

    Mention the QR before the meal

    Reception MCs always do a quick welcome before food is served. That's the perfect spot for a 10-second QR mention.

  3. 3

    Use the dance floor as a candid prompt

    Dancing is where reception halls produce the most candid uploads. A second MC mention before the dance floor opens lifts uploads noticeably.

  4. 4

    Use the QR for outdoor receptions

    Australian outdoor venues mean long candid daylight windows — pair the QR card with a sunset MC mention to capture the best light.
