Bachelorette & Bachelor Party Photo Sharing
One private gallery for the whole hen party, stag do or bachelor weekend. Everyone uploads from their own phone as the day unfolds – across bars, cities and hotel rooms – and nothing ends up on Instagram unless you want it to.
Free to create · No app for the group · Private by default if you want it
Made for a weekend that moves
A bachelorette or bachelor party is not one room with one table. It is a train, three bars, a boat and a very late breakfast. The gallery has to travel with the group.
QR code and link for the group
Share the code in the group chat the week before or print it on the itinerary. Anyone who joins later scans once and is in.
Upload on the go, from any phone
Works in the phone browser on iPhone and Android. No app to install between cocktails, no account for the friend who never installs anything.
Photo challenges as a scavenger hunt
The bachelor party template ships with tasks – “a selfie with a stranger wearing the same colour”, “the bride with a bouquet made of napkins”. Guests tick them off, the gallery fills up with stories instead of blurry group shots.
Private gallery, nothing leaks
Set the gallery to private so the photos from the weekend stay with the people who were there. What happens on the stag do stays in the gallery.
Slideshow for the wedding
Run the slideshow mode at the rehearsal dinner or the wedding reception. The best moments from the weekend, on a screen, without anyone having to collect files first.
Download everything as a gift
After the weekend, download the whole set in the quality it was uploaded and build a photo book or video for the couple.
How it works
Four steps, and the maid of honour or best man does them in one sitting
Create the event
Sign up, name the event (“Sarah’s hen weekend”), choose the bachelor party template with its challenges. About a minute, free.
Share the QR code and link
Drop the link in the group chat, print the QR code on the itinerary or the T-shirts, and show it once at the first meeting point.
Everyone uploads during the weekend
Each guest scans and uploads from their own phone, wherever they are. The shared gallery grows in real time; the challenges show who still has tasks open.
Slideshow, download, gift
Play the slideshow at the wedding, download the full gallery for the couple, and keep the link alive for anyone who wants their photos later.
Where the gallery earns its place
Same setup every time. What changes is how far the group travels and how much of the weekend should stay private.
City trips and multi-day weekends
Barcelona, Hamburg, Prague or a cabin by the lake: the group splits up, meets again, and photos land on twelve different phones. With one gallery, everyone uploads whenever they have signal, and by Sunday evening the whole weekend is in one place – from the airport selfie to the last brunch.
Scavenger-hunt style photo challenges
Instead of a paper list of dares, load the challenges into the event. The bride or groom’s friends see the open tasks on their phone, complete them with a photo, and the results appear in the gallery instantly. Add your own tasks for the couple’s inside jokes, and let the group vote on the best one at dinner.
A gift for the wedding
The weekend is the warm-up; the wedding is where the photos pay off. Keep the gallery private for the group, then pull the best shots into a slideshow for the reception or a printed book for the couple. Nothing to collect, nothing to chase – it is already sorted and downloadable.
Checklist for the organiser
For the maid of honour or best man who wants photos without becoming the group’s IT department.
Create the gallery the week before and post the link in the group chat, so everyone has it before phones start dying.
Put the QR code on the itinerary, the name tags or the back of the matching T-shirts – wherever people look when they are lost.
Load the photo challenges in advance and personalise five of them with the couple’s inside jokes; keep the total under ten.
Set the gallery to private before the weekend starts, not after the first photo is taken.
Nominate one “photo captain” per sub-group who reminds people to upload when the group splits up.
Ask everyone to upload before bed each night – the next morning’s memory is unreliable and the photos are already on the phone.
Take one deliberate group photo at every stop; the challenges cover the chaos, the group shots anchor the story.
Download the whole gallery within a few days and decide with two or three friends which photos are wedding-safe for the slideshow.
Why not the WhatsApp group you already have?
The planning group chat is where the weekend is organised. It is a poor place for the photos of the weekend itself.
| Group chat / shared album | Guest Pictures | |
|---|---|---|
| Photo quality | WhatsApp compresses photos on send. By the time a picture has been forwarded twice it is soft and small; “send as document” is not something anyone does at 1 a.m. | Photos are uploaded in the quality they were taken and downloaded the same way. |
| Who can join | Google Photos shared albums need a Google account to upload, and iCloud Shared Albums are built around Apple devices. Mixed iPhone-and-Android groups end up with two albums or one that half the group cannot add to. | Any phone browser. Scan the QR code, upload. No account, no platform question. |
| Overview | Photos are buried between logistics messages, memes and “where are you?”. Finding Saturday’s pictures on Monday means scrolling for minutes. | One gallery for the whole weekend, sorted, viewable and downloadable by everyone in the group. |
| Privacy | Anything in a chat is a screenshot away from a public story, and there is no notion of a “private” chat photo. | Private-gallery option, GDPR-compliant. The group decides what leaves the gallery. |
| At the wedding | Someone has to collect files from a dozen people and build a slideshow the night before. | Slideshow mode plays the gallery directly on a screen or projector. |
Keep the group chat for planning. Give the photos their own place, and the weekend ends with one gallery instead of a dozen half-albums.
Frequently asked questions
Does everyone in the group need the app?
There is no app. Everyone scans the QR code or opens the link, and the upload page runs in the phone browser on iPhone and Android. No installation, no account.
Can we keep the bachelorette photos private?
Yes. Set the gallery to private and only people you give access to can see the photos. Nothing is public and nothing is posted anywhere unless someone in the group chooses to share a picture.
How do the photo challenges work on a bachelor party?
The bachelor party template comes with ready-made challenges. Guests see the list on their phone, complete a task with a photo, and the photo appears in the gallery tagged to that challenge. You can edit the tasks or add your own before the weekend.
What does it cost?
Creating an event is free and every event includes free photos. If the weekend produces more, anyone in the group can unlock unlimited photos in one tap, without a subscription.
Does it work over several days and in different cities?
Yes. The gallery is not tied to a place or a date. Guests upload whenever they have a connection, and everything lands in the same event, from the Friday train to the Sunday brunch.
Can we show the photos at the wedding?
Yes. Use the slideshow mode on a laptop or tablet connected to a TV or projector at the reception. Download the gallery first if you want to hand-pick which photos the whole wedding sees.
One weekend, one gallery
Create the event now, post the link in the group, and let the challenges do the rest.
