How it works
Set it up once. Your guests do the rest.
Setting up a baby shower gallery takes about two minutes: name the event, add a cover photo, and choose whether guests can send photos, videos and voice. You get one QR code and a short link to share. Place the code where guests gather, and memories arrive all night into your private gallery — with no app to download and no account for anyone to create.
- *Create your baby shower event — name it, add a cover, pick photo, video and voice.
- *Print and place the QR — welcome table, tables, or a quick announcement.
- *Relive it forever — everything lands in a private vault you keep.
Every angle
The moments no single camera catches.
The best baby shower moments are almost always the unplanned ones — caught by the people in the room, from angles no hired photographer can reach. When every guest is a camera, you stop relying on one person's viewpoint and start collecting the whole night: the reactions across the room, the small candid moments, and the short clips that turn out to matter most.
- *The gift table and the guessing games.
- *Short clips of advice and laughter.
- *Voice messages for the baby to hear one day.
Private & yours
A private gallery — not a public feed.
Gooya is write-only for guests: they send their own photos and videos and never browse what everyone else uploaded, so nothing turns into a public feed during your event. You stay in control — decide when (or whether) guests see the gallery, hide or remove anything you don't want, and download every original in one ZIP whenever you like. The memories are private, and they're yours to keep.
- *Write-only for guests — no public posts, no comparing.
- *Host-controlled reveal — seal it, then open it together.
- *One-click ZIP download keeps your own backup.
Why a private gallery fits a shower
A baby shower is intimate — the gallery should be too.
A baby shower is a close gathering, and many guests don't want those photos on public social feeds. A private QR gallery lets everyone contribute photos, videos and voice notes that go only to the parents-to-be. Guests send and move on; the parents keep a complete, private record they can revisit — and share with the child one day.
- *Write-only for guests — nothing is posted publicly.
- *Only the host (the parents or organizer) sees everything.
- *A keepsake the child can be shown years later.
A message for the baby
Voice notes turn a shower into a time capsule.
The most treasured thing you can collect at a shower isn't another photo of the gift table — it's the voices. Gooya lets each guest record a short message: advice, a wish, a hello to the baby. Played back in a few years, those voice notes are the keepsake that hits hardest, all stored beside the photos in one gallery.
- *Each guest records a short message for the baby.
- *Advice and wishes, in the guests' own voices.
- *Kept beside the photos for the family to replay.
Where to put the QR
Place the code at the gift table and the grazing table.
Showers move between gift-opening and grazing/games, so put the QR where guests pause: the gift table, the food or dessert spread, and a card at each seat. A line under the code that says "leave a message for the baby" nudges guests toward the voice feature they'd never think to use on their own.
- *Gift table — the main photo moment.
- *Food/dessert table — guests linger and scroll.
- *A prompt card: "record a wish for the baby."
Gooya vs a shared album
No app, so every generation can join.
Shower guest lists span generations — grandparents, aunts, work friends. A shared-album link often assumes everyone uses the same photo platform and account. Gooya needs neither: guests point their camera at the QR and the camera opens in the browser. That's why participation is higher, especially among older relatives who'd skip an app download.
- *No platform account, no app install.
- *Works for grandparents and teenagers alike.
- *Camera-roll upload for guests who already snapped.
After the shower
Keep it as the first chapter of the baby's story.
Download the gallery in one ZIP for your own backup, and keep the vault active so the shower becomes the opening chapter of the child's story — added to over first birthdays and milestones. The renewal is a clear yearly price, not a quiet expiry that deletes the memories when you're not looking.
- *One-click ZIP of all photos, videos and voice notes.
- *Keep the vault as a growing family archive.
- *Transparent renewal — never a silent deletion.
Games and the gift table
Capture the parts a hired photographer usually misses.
Most showers don't have a photographer, and the moments worth keeping are the small ones: the guessing-game laughter, the reaction to a tiny outfit, the grandmothers-to-be together. With every guest contributing, those candids land in one gallery instead of staying stuck on individual phones. The parents get the texture of the day, not just a few posed shots of the gift table.
- *Game moments and genuine reactions.
- *The gift-opening, from more than one angle.
- *The quiet between-moments people actually treasure.
What the parents keep
A private first chapter, in photos and voices.
After the shower the parents-to-be download everything in one ZIP — photos, short videos and every recorded message for the baby. Kept in the vault, it becomes the opening chapter of the child's story, ready to add to at the birth and first birthday. Nothing was posted publicly, nothing expires quietly; it's a private keepsake the family controls and owns.
- *One private archive of photos and voice wishes.
- *Add to it at the birth and first birthday.
- *Owned by the family — downloaded and backed up.
