Whether it’s a desire for privacy, a wish to control how and when photos are shared, or a personal preference, asking guests not to post on social media can be done gracefully.

Here’s a guide to help you communicate this request with kindness and clarity, and how GUESTPIX can help manage this tricky situation:

1. Decide On Your Reason And Be Transparent

People are usually understanding when they know the reason behind a request. Perhaps you want to keep your wedding private, preserve a surprise reveal for others, or maintain a close circle. Once you’re clear on the “why”, it’ll be easier to communicate it to your guests in a way that feels meaningful rather than restrictive.

2. Add a Note To Your Invitations

The wedding invitation is often the first impression guests will have of your event, making it a perfect place to gently introduce the idea of a no-social-media wedding. This doesn’t have to be the central message – just a small line on the RSVP card or a note with the invitation will do.

3. Use Signage at the Venue

When guests arrive, having a reminder displayed on a sign can reinforce your message in a warm, visually appealing way. Opt for a simple, tasteful sign that blends in with your decor. Whether it’s a framed sign, or a small card at each table, a gentle reminder can be all they need.

4. Enlist the Help of Your Officiant

If your ceremony includes an officiant, ask them to remind guests of your no-posting policy before the ceremony begins. Hearing it as a part of the official proceedings can add a layer of respect and helps to set the tone for the rest of the event.

How can GUESTPIX help?

GUESTPIX offers a single gallery or albums for guests to upload their photos and videos privately for the host via a QR code or magic link. Hosts have the option to hide the gallery from guests, or make it available for all invitees to enjoy the celebration from every angle giving  privacy and flexibility to the host when they need it. 

Guests will also have the option to leave a written or video guestbook message, adding another layer of personalization and sentiment to the event. This feature allows attendees to share heartfelt messages, memories, or well wishes, creating a more meaningful and lasting memento of the occasion for the host to treasure long after the event is over.

Key Points:

• Asking guests not to be post wedding photos can be awkward, but it doesn’t have to be with GUESTPIX!
• Be transparent with your wedding guests, once you’re clear on the “why” it’ll be easier to communicate.
• Use plenty of signage at the venue, a gentle reminder is sometimes all they need.
• Get your officiant to help, an announcement at the beginning of the ceremony would be perfect.

Asking guests not to post about your wedding on social media might feel uncomfortable at first. But with the right approach, your friends and family will likely understand. Most importantly, remember that this day is about you and your partner’s happiness. So don’t be afraid to make a request that aligns with what feels best for you both.

• Magic Link: Alongside the QR code, hosts will receive a magic link. This link can be shared with guests digitally so they can upload their media.

• Private Galleries: GUESTPIX private galleries use world class infrastructure, to ensure photos and videos remain secure and private for hosts and their event guests.
  
• No App Required: Guests are not required to download any apps (nor register), making the process hassle-free.
  
• Full Resolution Download Files: The original, full resolution images are available at any time within the hosting window, ensuring easy access for future use.
