Capture every Christmas moment

Your guests are already taking photos. Now there's one place for all of them.

🎄

The Christmas tree reveal

The perfectly decorated tree, the first moment guests see the venue, the kids' faces when they spot the presents. Every camera angle captured automatically — from your phone and everyone else's.

🎅

Secret Santa and gift exchanges

The surprise reveal, the perfectly wrong gift, the reaction that defines the year. Multi-angle photos from all sides of the room land in one gallery — you'll never miss the best expression again.

🥂

Toasts and family traditions

The Christmas speech, the champagne clink, the family carol sing-along. These are the moments everyone photographs but rarely collects together. One QR code changes that.

🍪

Food, baking, and the whole spread

The Christmas table, the homemade cookies, the perfectly (or hilariously) burnt roast. Guests take dozens of food photos — now they all end up in a shared gallery instead of scattered across phone libraries.

Set up in 4 steps

From zero to collecting Christmas photos in under a minute.

01

Create your Christmas event

Enter the party name, date, and a festive welcome message. Done in 30 seconds — set it up the morning of Christmas Eve or the day of the party.

02

Share the QR code

Print it on table cards, display it on the TV before the party starts, or add it to the party invitation. Guests scan once and the upload page opens instantly.

03

Guests upload throughout the day

Every guest uploads their favorite shots straight from their phone. Everything appears in the shared gallery in real time — no one has to send a file or join a group chat.

04

Download your Christmas memories

After the celebrations, download the entire gallery as a ZIP. Original quality photos and videos, ready for your family photo book or next year's Christmas card.

Built for festive gatherings

📱

No app, no sign-up for guests

Grandparents to teenagers — anyone with a phone can scan the QR code and upload instantly. No download, no account, no friction. Works on every iPhone and Android at the dinner table.

📺

Live slideshow on the Christmas TV

Connect a laptop to the living room TV or party screen. Photos appear as guests upload — a real-time Christmas memory reel everyone watches together. Drives even more uploads as guests race to see their shots on screen.

💬

Christmas guestbook captions

Guests add a message to any photo they upload — a Christmas wish, a memory from last year, a note for the host. You get a photo gallery and a heartfelt guestbook in one.

❤️

Photo reactions and likes

Guests can like their favorite shots — the funniest, the most touching, the best candid. The most-liked photos surface naturally so you know which moments mattered most.

📦

Download everything in original quality

After Christmas, download every photo and video as a ZIP — full quality, no compression. Perfect for a family photo book, the annual Christmas card, or the slideshow at next year's party.

📧

Collect family email addresses

Guests can optionally leave their email at upload. Build your Christmas card list automatically while everyone is already sharing photos — no separate form, no awkward asks.

🗓️

Upload window you control

Keep the upload window open through the week after Christmas or into New Year's so family members can add photos from home later. The gallery keeps collecting even after the party ends.

🎯

Works for 5 or 500 guests

Intimate family Christmas or company-wide Christmas party — the same QR code scales to any crowd. No seat limits, no per-person pricing, no cap on how many photos guests can take.

Families and teams love it

“We had 45 family members at Christmas dinner across three generations and collected over 300 photos without anyone having to send a single file. My mom who is 74 uploaded photos without any help — just scanned the QR and that was it.”

Anna B.

Family Christmas organizer

“Used PartyLab for our office Christmas party of 80 people. Set up the QR code on the TV when guests arrived and by the end of the night we had 600 photos in the gallery. The slideshow running in the background was the highlight of the evening.”

Tom R.

Office Manager, financial services

“The digital guestbook was the surprise hit. Everyone added messages to the photos — it turned into the most personal Christmas keepsake we've ever had. Already planning to use it every year.”

Claire M.

Christmas party questions answered

Does it work for family Christmas parties with older guests?+

No. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera and the upload page opens in their browser instantly. Works on every iPhone and Android including older models.

Can we show Christmas photos live on the TV?+

Yes. Open the slideshow link on a laptop connected to the TV. Photos appear as guests upload — a live Christmas memory reel that encourages guests to take and share even more photos.

Can guests upload photos taken before the party — like at Christmas morning?+
