Send it again the morning after
This is when people are back in their camera roll and actually have the photos to hand.
Common follow-up questions
- When is the best time to send it?
- The morning after the event. People are home, going through their photos, and have the time to upload. A message during the event mostly gets missed.
- Should I send more than one reminder?
- Two is usually right: one the morning after, and one a week later before you download everything. More than that starts to feel like nagging.
- Do I need to explain how it works?
- Barely. "Tap the link, add your photos, no app needed" covers it. See do guests need an app.
- What if guests worry about who sees their photos?
- Tell them it is private to your guest list. You control what guests can see.
