Do guests need an account to upload photos?
Not to view the invitation or RSVP. Uploading to the shared gallery uses a quick browser sign-in that keeps the private event gallery protected.

Guest photos for your Paris wedding
French weddings begin with a civil ceremony at the arrondissement town hall, and the reception often sits well outside the city. That leaves a day split across venues, with the guests carrying the parts a photographer cannot be in at once.
From the mairie to the reception
The steps outside the town hall are the moment nearly every guest photographs, usually from a better angle than the photographer, who is occupied with the couple and immediate family.
Between that moment and the reception comes a drive during which the party scatters. A QR code puts all of those frames in one place instead of across dozens of phones.
The vin d’honneur nobody covers end to end
The reception between ceremony and dinner is its own event in France and can run for hours. Guests stay standing, move between groups and photograph each other without any direction at all.
That stretch produces most of the day’s candid material, exactly while the photographer works through family portraits. It all reaches the same private gallery from the browser.
An invitation that carries the practical part
When family travels in, the journey, the hotel and the running order matter more than any decorative detail. The digital invitation gathers them alongside each venue’s Google Maps location.
On the day, that same link leads to the gallery: invitation, guest list and photos belong to one Momentral event rather than two separate tools.
Best QR placements
- Add the QR code to the dinner menu or place card.
- Place a small sign near the champagne or dessert table.
- Share the link before city portraits so guests can upload behind-the-scenes clips.
Local moments to collect

- Seine walk videos

Planning tip
For Paris weddings, use discreet table cards that match the printed invitation suite; guests will scan without the QR code feeling intrusive.
FAQ
Can we put the venue and a map in the invitation?
Yes. The invitation shows each venue with its Google Maps location, so guests open directions straight from their phone.
