Event Mode

Create shared events for weddings, reunions, and gatherings. Guests upload photos with a simple link.

Event Mode lets you create a shared photo collection for any gathering. Guests upload photos from their phones using a simple link or QR code — no Memory Murals account needed.

Creating an Event

Open the profile menu and tap Events
Tap "Create Event"
Choose an event type: Birthday, Wedding, Reunion, Graduation, Holiday, or Baby Shower
Enter a name for your event (e.g., "Sophie's Wedding" or "Family Reunion 2026")
Add a welcome message — this is what guests see when they open the upload link
Pick the event date
Tap "Create Event"

You'll get a shareable link and QR code immediately.

Sharing with Guests

After creating an event, share the link with your guests:

Copy the link and send it via text, email, or group chat
Download the QR code and print it for tables, signs, or invitations
Guests scan or click to open the upload page on their phone
No account needed — guests just enter their name and upload photos

QR Codes for In-Person Events

Print the QR code on table cards or display it on a screen at your event. Guests can scan with their phone camera to start uploading instantly.

How Guests Upload

When a guest opens your event link, they see:

Your event name and welcome message
An upload area where they tap to select photos
A place to enter their name
An optional caption field
A live gallery of all photos uploaded so far

Guests can upload multiple times and see everyone else's photos in real-time.

Managing Uploads

As the event owner, go to Events > [Your Event] to manage:

View all uploads in a photo gallery
See who contributed with guest names on each submission
Add to Timeline — save individual uploads as memories on your personal timeline
Dismiss — remove uploads from your review queue (photos stay in the event gallery)
Close uploads — stop accepting new photos when the event is over
Reopen uploads — start accepting photos again if needed

Adding Event Photos to Your Timeline

When you tap "Add to Timeline" on a submission, Memory Murals creates a new memory on your timeline with:

The event title and guest name as the title
The guest's caption as notes
All photos from that submission
The event date

If you later delete the memory from your timeline, the event page will automatically show "Add to Timeline" again so you can re-add it.

How Many Events Can I Create?

Free plan — 1 event with up to 50 guest uploads
During your free trial — up to 3 events with 200 guest uploads each
Premium (Memory Keeper) — unlimited events with up to 500 guest uploads each

Guests never need to pay or create an account. These limits only apply to you as the event creator.

Event Ideas

Event Mode works great for:

Weddings — collect every guest's perspective of the big day
Birthday parties — gather candid moments from everyone who was there
Family reunions — preserve the gathering from multiple viewpoints
Graduations — capture the celebration from friends and family
Holiday gatherings — save the moments that matter most
Baby showers — collect photos and well-wishes in one place
