Do guests need Wi-Fi to scan and upload?

They need a working internet connection of some kind — either the venue's Wi-Fi or their own mobile data. Most guests upload fine on cellular data, but venues with poor signal should consider offering a Wi-Fi network.

Can older guests use QR code photo sharing without help?

Generally yes, since scanning a QR code with a phone camera is now a familiar action for most smartphone users. Clear signage with simple instructions ("Open your camera, point it here, tap the link") helps guests who are less familiar with the process.

How long does the gallery stay accessible after the wedding?

That depends on the platform, but most galleries — including Snapsy's — remain accessible well after the event so couples and guests can revisit photos or download the full set later.

Can we use the same QR code for multiple wedding events, like the rehearsal dinner and the reception?

Yes, a single gallery and code can be used across the whole wedding weekend if you'd rather keep everything in one place. For a plan covering the full weekend, see Rehearsal Dinner to Reception: A Complete Photo Sharing Plan.
