The chat problem
Group chats are easy for messaging but bad for media collection. Files are compressed, spread across threads, and difficult to recover later.
The one-link method
Use a single album link with role-based access. Guests contribute, owners moderate, and all memories stay searchable in one timeline.
- One destination for all photos and videos
- Ownership and moderation stay with the couple
- No post-event file chasing
Best practices
Set clear expectations on your invite card: where to upload, max video length, and whether posts are reviewed before publish.
Do a quick dry run with two friends before the event date to verify your upload flow and venue connectivity.
