Should the rehearsal dinner and reception share the same photo gallery?

For most couples, yes — one continuous gallery captures the full arc of the weekend and is simpler for guests attending multiple events. Keep them separate only if the rehearsal dinner guest list is meaningfully smaller and more private.

How early should I set up my wedding weekend photo gallery?

Set it up at least a few days before the first event, ideally before you print any QR code signage, so you have time to test the scan and placement.

Do guests need to re-scan a code at each event if we're using one gallery?

No — if it's the same gallery, guests only need to scan once. From there, they can keep uploading throughout the weekend without scanning again, though placing the code at each venue as a visible reminder still helps.

What happens to the gallery after the wedding weekend ends?

The gallery stays intact and downloadable afterward, so you can revisit it, build a memory movie, or download the full photo set whenever you're ready.
