So you’re on the planning committee for the class reunion or you are trying to check every detail off the wedding planning list. You can’t forget to include sharing pictures. You know everyone will be taking them, but how do you ensure that you (and everyone else) get to see all of them too?
I’ve got you covered! Here is my step by step guide to collecting and sharing pictures from any event. Family reunion, the 80th birthday party even the group vacation, follow these steps and you won’t miss a single photo!
create an Amazon Photos event
- download the Amazon Photos App. If you have Amazon Prime this is a free app.
- on the home screen, click on the “party icon” on the top right corner
- click on the + to start a new photo sharing group
- you will then be shown a QR code. Screenshot that screen
- you can then select to email or text a link to anyone in your contacts too
Here’s the best part about using Amazon Photos as your group photo collecting album, anyone can easily add to it. The person to set it up needs to have Amazon Photos, however nobody else in the group needs to have an Amazon account. They won’t need to download an app or go through several steps to add their pictures. It’s as easy as sending a text message.
Here is a screenshot of Amazon Photos and the icon you press to start that shared event.
Get creative with how you share that link for your guests to add photos
- now that you have the screenshot of the QR code you can add that to any number of displays at your party. If you are keeping things simple, frame an easy computer print out with the QR code and a message that says “add your pictures to the group!”
- do something a little more customized and print business cards with that QR code and message. Try a service like www.vistaprint.com for affordable card printing. Those can be placed in every welcome bag or at every place setting.
Don’t forget to thank everyone for coming too! The great thing with Amazon Photos is that you can easily order prints or even thank you cards of any of the photographs that were included in that shared event. Select from one of their photo collage options and add a few pictures to be included in that customized thank you card.
It’s that simple! Now you are set to not miss a picture from your special event!
