Making Birthdays Even More Special With QR Codes And Shared Photos

Milestone birthdays marking the start of a new decade are great ways of honouring achievements and transitioning to a new life stage, while offering the chance to reflect on personal growth. There’s also the opportunity to pause, acknowledge past accomplishments and create new goals.

At the same time, you can strengthen social bonds by bringing loved ones together to form lasting memories. Celebrating these big occasions also helps to strengthen a positive self-image while providing a sense of accomplishment and confidence – you’ll feel seen and cherished. And, quite apart from anything else, you can have great fun planning every last detail of the occasion.

Clearly, however, even the best party only lasts a matter of hours. So photos capturing those vital moments which define you, and your family’s, life, and the associated memories, are hugely important. 

But knowing how to gather all the images your guests take isn’t always easy. You may not want to hire a professional photographer and, equally, you won’t want to spend all evening taking your own pictures.

Sure, you can encourage guests to share pictures – but will they? People forget, images inadvertently get deleted and social media threads and chats can be scrappy, with photos all over the place. Meanwhile, some messaging apps only share photos in low resolution.

QR codes offer an effortlessly simple, cost-effective solution, allowing guests to share images without downloading an app, creating an account, logging in or supplying any personal information. They just scan the code with their phone camera to upload shots directly.

All photos go into one digital gallery that’s private and highly secure. It’s fun and inclusive, since anyone of any age can take part and you don’t need any technical know-how.

What’s more, with multiple people taking pictures, you’re bound to capture some of those candid, behind-the-scenes moments that you, or even, a professional, could otherwise miss.

Download images in their original, high-resolution quality and create a central album of all your memories in one place that you’ll cherish forever.

Finally, you can also often display a live slideshow at your party, so that everyone there can see the photos the minute they’re uploaded.
