Photo Sharing Cards

alschmid

Is anyone doing cards to give wedding guests a place to upload their personal pictures to and share?  I was thinking of doing this and VistaPrint seems to have them for free right now.

Any suggestions for where to do this online (the shared photo album site)?

I just did mine on snapfish.com.  I set up a username and password for my guests and then I will make some cute card...using vista print with the information.
I plan to pass them out at the bridal shower next month too!
Sorry I don't have a template but if you find a cute one...let me know.

We did picasa for allowing guests to upload their pictures.  But didn't do the photo sharing cards part.

I just ordered my cards through Vistprint last night!  250 free business cards with the necessary info for guests - cant beat that!  I actually used the same link as applemarie shared above for my inspiration.

I set up our photo sharing site through shutterfly.  The personalized website is adorable!

I think Flickr is by far the best photo site for anything... imo!

It's what I use for my personal photos, and my photography though.   It's a pretty large upload limit for free accounts, and if you buy a pro account (it's like $20/year) it's unlimited.

This is an awesome idea btw!   I love it!

I have been planning on doing this but haven't figured out all the logistics.  I set-up the shutterfly thing for a wedding page but I didn't understand how, or if you can, have a login for guests.  Or do you just have the one login as the "owner" and you give that out?  It seems like there should be a seperate login with less access or control.  I haven't tried THAT hard yet, but I just didn't immediately see how you do it with a login for them, versus sending them an e-mail inviting them.  How did you guys coordinate all that?

janjan-

You can do it either way.  You can leave your page public to everyone.  But, if guests want to post, they will need to set up a shutterfly account.  

Then there is an option that you can make your page viewable to guests only.  I made my group page private and then used the password "wedding" to view it.  On the photosharing cards, I just added the password.  Once they get into your page, they can post pictures and leave comments. 

I actually tried setting up a flickr account first and failed miserably... I could not figure out how to make that site usable for a group!  If you have issues on Shutterfly, the Q&A section is fairly helpful! 

Good Luck
