Choosing your type of event

When you create a gallery, you choose the occasion: a wedding, birthday, christening, anniversary, or a business event like a product launch, conference, awards night or staff party.

What the type changes

  • The words your guests see, for example “the couple”, “the host” or “the organisers”.
  • Which features start switched on. Business events start with Guest contact details on, and seating, song suggestions, messages from afar and the time capsule off.

Changing it later

Open Overview → Gallery settings → Type of event. Nothing is deleted when you change it. Tick switch on the features recommended for it if you’d like the recommended set; otherwise your Apps stay exactly as they are.

Tip: whatever the type, you can switch any feature on or off yourself in Apps.
