Short answer

You pick a cover photo, an accent color, the page style, the album layout and the guest-page language. Together they lift a personal event without any design work.

Your own brand name, logo and domain are separate: those ship with the business plans, not to a personal event.

What you can set

A cover photo for the top of the guest page, an accent color that spans the page and album, a page style that changes the entire layout instead of a detail, and an album layout for how contributions are arranged. The event type sets the wording alongside all of that.

None of it's needed. An event with nothing set still produces a completed-looking page.

  1. Set a cover photo. Optional. Each style has a design for going without, so the page never looks unfinished.
  2. Pick the accent color. It runs through the guest page and the album. 1 color is enough.
  3. Check it on a phone. The guest page is read on a phone. That's where the choice has to run.

The cover photo

A cover rests atop the guest page, and you pick a focal point so a portrait crops to the faces instead of to the ceiling. Each style also has a version for having no cover at all, so leaving it empty is an actual option instead of a gap.

Select something that works at phone size. Detail that works on a laptop disappears at thumbnail size.

The accent color

One color, used across the buttons and highlights on the guest page and the album. It's the least expensive way to make the page feel like your event instead of a form, and it costs 1 decision.

Contrast beats shade. A pale accent on a pale page makes the button that guests need tougher to spot.

Page style and album layout

The page style defines the entire look of the upload page, from an editorial layout to a full-bleed cover or a poster treatment. The album layout is separate and dictates how contributions are arranged once folks look at them.

They're independent, so a bold upload page can open into a quiet album, or the reverse.

The wording follows the event type

The sentences a guest reads come with the event type instead of from a text field: a wedding renders differently from a conference, and the prompt above the voice recorder changes with it. Changing the type updates all of it at once.

There's no open text field for the guest page. That's deliberate — the page is short, and a paragraph on it loses uploads.

Your own brand is a different thing

Placing your own name, logo, colors and domain before a client s guests is what the business plans are for. On a personal event the styling above is included, and for your own party it's what you want anyway.

If you're running events for clients, that's the point at which the plan matters more than the color picker.

Common questions

Do I have to set a cover photo?

No. Every style has a design for having none.

Can I write my own text on the guest page?

No. The wording comes with the event type; the page is deliberately short.

Does the accent color affect the album too?

Yes. It runs through the guest page and the album.

Can I put my logo on it?

That belongs to the business plans, not to a personal event.

Where should I check my choices?

On a phone. That is where guests will see them.

The page does not look how you expected

Open it on a phone and forward us a screenshot with the event name. That's quicker than describing it.
