Every guest at a shower takes photos: the gifts, the games, the cake, the parents-to-be. Put one QR code on the welcome table and guests add their photos to one private gallery straight from their phone browser. You approve what goes in and reveal it when you choose.
Free to try. One-time price per event, no subscription.
Add the shower name and date, choose a plan, and set the upload window and reveal time.
Print it on a welcome sign, the gift table or the dessert table, or add the link to your invitation.
They scan, enter their name and upload. No app and no account.
At your reveal time, everyone sees the photos together, with a slideshow.
Whichever way you collect photos, check these points before the shower. Here is how Event Capsule handles each one.
| What you need | Why it matters | Event Capsule |
|---|---|---|
| Works for every guest's phone | Showers mix grandparents, friends and coworkers, on iPhone and Android. | Guests scan a QR code or open a link and upload in their phone browser. No app to install. |
| No guest accounts or passwords | Guests are there to celebrate, not to sign up for something. | Guests enter a name and upload. No account needed. |
| A private gallery | Shower photos are family moments, often with children in them. | Only people with your event link can view the gallery. |
| Approve photos before anyone sees them | The parent-to-be may not want every angle shared. | Preview every upload and hide or remove anything before the reveal. |
| One place for every photo | Group chats compress photos and scatter them across threads. | Every guest's photos land in one gallery, with a slideshow after the reveal. |
| Guests who can't attend can join in | Long-distance family still want to be part of the day. | Share the event link so they can upload while the upload window is open. |
| Simple pricing for one day | A shower is a one-off. A monthly subscription makes little sense. | One-time price per event, no subscription, and a free plan to test first. |
| Easy to keep the photos | The host usually wants a copy to give the parents-to-be. | Download the full gallery as a ZIP, available for 30 days after the reveal. |
| Invitations and RSVPs | Fewer links for guests to keep track of. | Digital invitations and RSVP management in the same event link. |
Event Capsule collects photos only. Guests can't upload videos, and there is no video or audio guestbook.

Pay once for the shower. No subscription, and nothing to cancel afterwards. A very small shower fits the free First Flash plan (up to 5 guests), which is also a good way to test the flow first.
