Comparison

A wedding hashtag is a label. A QR code is an action.

Hashtags can collect public posts, but they miss private camera-roll moments and guests who do not post. A Gooya QR code gives everyone one direct action: scan and send to the couple's gallery.

Privacy

Hashtags collect public posts. Gooya collects private memories.

Many guests do not want to post wedding photos publicly. Gooya lets them send memories to the couple without publishing on social media.

  • *No social account required.
  • *No public feed.
  • *Host controls what is later shared.

Completeness

Hashtags miss the photos guests never post.

The funniest table photo or tiny dance-floor video may stay in a camera roll forever. A QR prompt asks for that file directly while the guest is still in the room.

  • *Camera roll upload included.
  • *Live camera capture included.
  • *No one needs to write the hashtag correctly.

Ownership

A private gallery gives the couple the files.

Hashtag posts can disappear, compress, or stay tied to a social platform. Gooya gives the host a private gallery and a ZIP export path.

  • *Download visible memories.
  • *Keep files outside social media.
  • *Reveal the gallery intentionally.

Best fit

Use a hashtag for public fun. Use Gooya for the keepsake.

You can still have a wedding hashtag. Just do not make it the main collection system if you want private, downloadable guest photos and videos.

  • *Hashtag for social posts.
  • *Gooya QR for private collection.
  • *Same sign can mention both if needed.
Questions

Answers before you make the QR.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Gooya opens in the phone browser from one QR code. Guests can use the camera or their library without installing an app, making an account, or remembering a password.

Can guests see everyone else's uploads?

No. Gooya is write-only for guests by default. They send their own memory, see that it landed, and return to the event. The private gallery belongs to the host.

Can the host download everything?

Yes. The host can download the visible memories in one ZIP, including the original photo and video files Gooya stores for the event.
