A QR sign should not sound like software instructions. It should sound like a warm invitation: help us see the night from your seat, with no app and no sign-up.

Best default
The safest wording is simple: Scan to share your photos and videos with us. Add the no-app promise underneath so guests know it will not become a project.
Romantic wording
At a welcome table, the sign can be softer and more keepsake-focused. Tell guests their point of view is part of the couple's memory of the day.
Funny wording
A more casual sign can work after dinner, especially near the bar or dance floor. Keep it short and make the action obvious.
Avoid
Guests do not need to hear about platforms, uploads, or file storage. If they have to read more than a few seconds, they may skip it.

No. Guests scan one QR code and nobody installs an app or makes an account. On an iPhone in Safari, Gooya's own camera opens without downloading any app, with a dial of cameras: Reaction, Faces, Reel, Video, Photo, Boom and Rewind. Android phones, older iPhones and in-app browsers use the web camera, into the same private album. Guests can also send from their own library.
Not by default. Guests see nothing until the host sends the album (the default); then they can view and react for 24 hours. At the event they send their own memory, see that it landed, and go back to it. The private album belongs to the host.
Yes. The host can download the visible memories in one ZIP, including the original photo and video files Gooya stores for the event.
“I cried when I saw my mom's reaction to the father-daughter dance — the dual camera caught the dance and her face in the same shot. I'd never have gotten that myself.”
“The best part was seeing real footage from real people, not just the photographer's version of the night.”
“It didn't dump hundreds of photos onto my phone and eat my storage — I got to pick exactly what I wanted to keep.”
