Shutterfly Share Site question

Giaspo

Hello,
I created a share site on Shutterfly for our guests to (hopefully) upload their photos after the wedding.  I am chemically blonde and simply cannot figure out how to have guests upload the photos.  I saw someone's photocards that simply said:

go to website
go to "guest photo album"
hit "add picture"

But I tried to follow them and can't get it to work. 

Has anyone used Shutterfly and know a simple way to do it?  TIA!!

I didn't use Shutterfly, but I think you have to have already created the Guest Photo Album for everyone to upload their photos to.  So you create the album and then your guests just upload their photos.

Warning, though - I believe (and I could be wrong) that the way Shutterfly works allows guests to accidentally delete other guests' photos.  You may want to use a site that has some type of verification in place to avoid any accidental deletions.

I used weddingturtle.com and would be more than happy to share the login information with you if you'd like to see how it works (we have almost 2,000 pictures uploaded to our site).

Thanks. Unfortunately I already glued all the photoshare cards. I wish I had used wedding turtle. It seems so easy. Glad you're still with us!

Oh okay.  Nevermind then!  And I'm only here until TK Gods decide to close the account.  I keep logging in to see if it's happened yet, but they seem to be taking their sweet time.  I already sent 3 requests.

Wow- I just tried it and it's so easy my grandma could do it. Hopefully I can unstick all the cards and do new ones. I'm going to try it tonight. Thanks so much for the tip! Good luck with everything!

I'm using Shutterfly and it is pretty simple. Once you've setup the guest page, they go to the page, enter the password and then get a screen where they should see your album (You need to setup that album first). There should be a think that says "actions", and when they click that, it says "add pictures".
I don't have another Shutterfly account to test it with, but I don't believe there would be an option to delete pictures in the album. Best thing to do would be to create another Shutterfly account and test it, as though you were a guest for the wedding. It is hard to test/know for sure when you are using the owner account.

I used shutterfly for my guests to upload their photos after the wedding, but with my understanding after they uplaod them into your account you can then put them on your shared site.

I gave all my guests a card that says how to uplaod them, I created an account and gave them my login information and they uploaded them.  After they did that, I uploaded them onto my Shared Site and it was done.

It had a few extra steps, but it worked pretty well!

Thanks so much - I will give it a try.

If you want, I can send you the password for my page, and you can try uploading a photo as if you were a guest?

Omg you are so incredibly nice. As soon as I can get to a computer I'll send you a PM. Im on my phone right now.

I used shutterfly and it is so easy to do it.   We had lots of people upload pics after the wedding.  I had each person create their own album instead of putting more pics in another album.
