Our Event Album. Print a QR code, prop it on the cake table, and guests upload in seconds with no app download. Cast the slideshow to the TV.

Absolutely. Most "wedding" photo apps work beautifully for any celebration. Our Event Album supports all event types with fully customisable galleries.
How do I get more guests to share photos at a birthday party?
