Why PicShots fits

A safer local guide, without pretending to be venue-affiliated

  • 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

QR setup for Centro events

  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

    Put Portuguese on the QR card

    A one-line Portuguese prompt under the English scan instruction helps grandparents and out-of-town relatives join without asking younger guests for help.

  5. 5

    Centro placement tip

    Place QR cards at every room change — Centro events often split registration, keynote, and dinner floors.
