The QR code is the front door to the guest camera: put it where people pause, word it plainly, and guests send photos, short films and voice notes in seconds.

Placement
Place the QR where guests have their phones out or are waiting: welcome tables, bars, dinner tables, ceremony programs, hotel bags, and the DJ announcement screen.
Wording
Guests do not need a feature list. They need one action and one reason: scan this code and send the couple the photos and videos only you caught.
Templates
Competitors use QR sign libraries because hosts want something printable without opening a design tool. Gooya should ship a small set of clean templates before building a large design marketplace.
Backup
Phones, lighting, and camera apps vary. A short readable link gives guests and planners a backup when a QR code is printed too small or placed in bad lighting.

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.
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 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.
Use at least three places: welcome table, bar or dinner tables, and one verbal reminder from the DJ or host. Guests scan more when the prompt appears during natural pauses.
“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.”
