PartyLab

Disposable camera alternative

A disposable camera alternative for weddings and parties

Single-use cameras on the tables mean film to develop and weeks of waiting. With PartyLab, guests use the camera they already carry, scan one QR code and add their photos and videos to one gallery straight away.

What about disposable camera apps?

Apps such as POV and Lense recreate the film feel on guests' phones: a limited number of shots, filters, and photos that reveal later. They are a fun game, especially for small groups.

PartyLab takes the other approach. There is no shot limit, so guests share any photo or video they take, in original quality. The live slideshow plays new photos on a TV during the party, and you can download everything as one ZIP afterwards.

Keep the fun of a disposable camera

  • Put a short list of photo prompts on each table: the best dance move, a toast in progress, someone you just met.
  • Play the live slideshow on a screen near the dance floor, so guests see their photos appear.
  • Turn on approval and save the big reveal: share the full gallery the morning after.
  • Print a sign that says what to do. The free QR sign maker has wording ready to use.

Common questions

Is PartyLab a disposable camera app?

No. It has no shot limits or film filters. Guests share the photos and videos they take with their own camera app, and you get every file in original quality.

Can I hide the photos until after the wedding, like film?

Not with a timed reveal. You can turn on approval so nothing appears in the gallery until you approve it, then share the gallery when you are ready.

Do guests need to download anything?

No. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera and upload in the browser. No app, no account.

Can I still put real disposable cameras out?

Yes, many couples do both. Film gives you a handful of prints; the QR code catches the hundreds of phone photos guests take anyway.

One QR code. Every guest photo.
