Disposable camera wedding sign wording

What should a sign actually say?

People read a sign in three seconds. Give them the action, the limit and the reveal. Something like: take a shot, there are twelve, nobody looks until tomorrow. Anything longer will not be read.

If guests have to scan a QR code, say so in the first line, and put the code where a phone can reach it.

Fifteen wordings to adapt

• Pick me up. Take 12 photos. No peeking.
• Help us remember tonight. Shoot what you see.
• Twelve shots each. Pictures arrive tomorrow morning.
• Our wedding, your pictures. Scan to join the roll.
• Take the candid, skip the pose.
• This camera has a limited roll. Make every frame count.
• Capture the people we missed.
• Snap the dance floor, the food and the friends.
• No screens. Just shoot.
• Scan the code and join our roll. It develops at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
• One camera. Many hands. Every table.
• Shoot first. Look later.
• We cannot be everywhere. You can.
• Be our photographer for a moment.
• Twelve frames, one night, no retakes.

How do I add a QR code for a Proofsheet roll?

A crew roll ticket in Proofsheet is a link and a QR code. The host can print the code on a card, and during the event tap Show QR to fill the screen with the code at full brightness for anyone who arrives without the link. Guests open Proofsheet, scan the code inside the app and see the roll details before they join: name, look, frames each and develop time. See crew rolls.

Guests need the app installed first, and Proofsheet is an iPhone app that is not on the App Store yet. Tell guests to install it before the day, and say so on the card or the invitation.

Where should I put the sign?

• On each table, near the centerpiece, so guests see it when they sit down.
• At the entrance, with a stack of cameras or a large QR code.
• At the bar, where people wait with their hands free.
• By the dance floor, in the last hour of the night.

What should the develop time say?

A specific time is better than a vague promise. Say tomorrow at 9 a.m. or Sunday evening. In Proofsheet the develop time must be at least 30 minutes ahead and within 60 days. By default a notice arrives one hour before the shared develop time, which prompts last frames.

Printing the time on the sign also prevents the single most common question: when can I see them?

How do I word it for guests who are not tech-savvy?

Use plain steps. Keep the app name large, the QR code clear and the instruction short: install, scan, shoot. Put a person at the entrance who can help for the first ten minutes. Keep a printed card nearby for guests who would rather not use the app.

What tone should I choose?

Match the wedding. A formal day suits plain, short text. A casual one can be playful. Avoid jokes that make fun of guests who prefer not to take pictures. A good sign invites, it does not instruct. For other prompts you can print on the back, see wedding disposable camera prompts.

How do I plan the whole thing?

A week before, create the roll and send the ticket so guests can install the app. The day before, print the cards. During the event, post a reminder. The morning after, guests develop and send frames, and the host collects. The full timeline is in disposable camera app for a party or wedding.

What should I avoid on the sign?

• Long paragraphs. Nobody reads them at a reception.
• Instructions that need two hands and a phone at once.
• Jokes that single out guests who do not want to take part.
• A QR code that is too small or printed on glossy card that catches the light.
• A develop time you may change.

How big should the card be?

A postcard-sized card, about A6 or four by six inches, is the right size for a table. It holds a headline, three short lines and a QR code the size of a coaster. For the entrance, scale up to a poster so people can scan from a short distance. Test the QR code with a phone before you print the whole set.

Can I add a short note about privacy?

A short line helps: Pictures stay on guests' phones until they choose to send them, and tell the host if you would like to be left out of the sheet. Proofsheet has no accounts and no servers, and frames reach the host only when a guest sends them. Saying so on the card, or in the invitation, reassures careful guests and costs you one line.
