At weddings, many guests will take photos, right?

There are various types of photos, such as those taken with smartphones like iPhones and digital cameras, and when all combined, it often results in thousands of images...! This is something many newlyweds experience.

While Instagram signs are nice....

The typical DIY signs placed by brides at the venue for guests to share photos usually involve creating a designated hashtag for Instagram or signs for social media channels like Twitter and Facebook.

However, since this requires guests to post on social media, it becomes public to their followers, creating significant pressure for them to share it with the couple.

This makes it a bit challenging for both guests and the couple.

From the couple's perspective, they might think, "It would be great if they could just send all the photos they took directly to us..."

Isn't that often the case?

The Most Commonly Used App: It's Definitely Fast and Convenient to Use LINE for Sharing Photos♡

☑ I just want the photos taken to be sent to me quickly.

☑ It's fine if they don't post them on social media.

☑ I want to easily check the photos on my smartphone.

In such cases, one of the easiest and most convenient ways is to have guests send photos via 'LINE', the most used messaging app in Japan.*

The methods to send photos include:

☑ Using Bluetooth, infrared, or AirDrop (only works when in close proximity)

☑ Utilizing cloud storage services like Dropbox (requires them to create an account)

☑ Using services like宅ふぁいる便 (limited download period)

and various other methods,

However, each of these has its minor drawbacks.

In contrast, sending photos via LINE is easy for anyone who has taken pictures on their phone; they can open their frequently used app and simply tap on their phone screen to send a large amount of images at once. This makes it very convenient for the newlyweds to look back at the photos they've received.＊

Therefore, recently, it has become popular to add a note like "Please send photos via LINE" to Instagram or social media signs.♡

Creating a 'LINE Sign' Seems to be a Good Idea♡

To ensure that guests don't miss the request to send photos via LINE, it's recommended to create a special 'LINE sign' in addition to the SNS signs and place it in the welcome space or on each guest table.

This way, it will surely catch everyone's attention, and they are likely to send photos via LINE.♩

There may also be guests like your boss or relatives who do not know the couple's LINE account, so it might be good to clearly state the account name (ID).

Additionally, be aware that photos sent within the LINE chat have a limited storage period; unless you download them all properly, you won't be able to access them again after the time limit.

It’s a hassle, but either make sure to download them or ask them to send photos through methods that don’t have a download deadline, like "please send them in an album."

＼New Item／ You Should Create a LINE Sign Because It's Convenient♩

Ideally, you'd want to receive every single photo taken by guests at your wedding.

However, sending them can unexpectedly turn out to be quite difficult or annoying, and sometimes the photos just end up sitting in guests' camera rolls instead of being shared.

If you request guests to share photos in a way that is easy and hassle-free, they will likely share a lot of photos with you right away.♡
