Wedding guest questions · For the host
Can we get the photos and videos from the wedding?
“Photos kab milengi?”
Tell guests where the photos will be and roughly when. If you will share an album link, say so and send it when it is ready. If your photographer delivers in weeks, say that too, and ask guests to add their own phone photos to one shared album so nothing is lost across a hundred chats.
What to tell guests
How should you answer it?
- Agree a date with your photographer for a first set of photos, and tell guests that date.
- Make one shared album for guests' phone photos and send the link on the day.
- Say whether guests may post on social media before you do.
- Mention the live stream, if you have one, for those who can't come.

What goes wrong with this one?
- Promising photos "soon" and sending them months later.
- Five family albums, none of them complete.
- Not saying whether guests may post before you.
On ShaadiMode
Can someone answer this for you on WhatsApp?
ShaadiMode's guest helper answers this from your invitation on WhatsApp. Once you set an album link in Settings, the helper sends it to anyone who asks. Until then, type when photos will come in More → Guest helper. It comes with Signature, where it either drafts the reply for you to approve or sends it on its own when it is sure.

When do wedding photos usually arrive?
It depends on the photographer and the package. Ask yours for a date and tell guests, so the question doesn't come back every week.
How do I collect guests' wedding photos in one place?
Make one shared album and send its link on the day, before people start forwarding photos to each other in separate chats.
