Do my guests need to install an app?

Zero. Everything works in the phone browser. Scan the QR code, type your name, start shooting. Even your 70-year-old aunt can do it.

How do I download the photos after the event?

One click. When the event ends, you get a link to download all photos in high quality. No more chasing guests for their pictures.

What if the venue Wi-Fi is slow or goes down?

Mevli saves photos on the guest's phone and uploads them automatically once the signal stabilizes. Zero photos lost, even with spotty internet.

Who can see the photos from my event?

Only guests who joined the event (and you, the host). Photos are never public, and location data is automatically removed from every image.

How do missions and the leaderboard work?

Each event type comes with pre-made missions — like "photograph the couple without them noticing" — and you can create your own. Completed missions earn XP, and the live leaderboard shows who's shooting the most. At the end, you can award the winners.

How much does it cost? Is it a subscription?

One price per event, no subscription. Start free with up to 10 guests, or choose Pocket Party ($9.90, up to 30 guests) and Grand Events ($19.90, everything unlimited).

What if someone uploads an inappropriate photo?

You can remove any photo with one tap and ban the guest instantly. You're always in control.

Is a wedding registry the same thing as a gift list?

Yes, both terms are used interchangeably to describe the same thing: the selection of items (or contribution options) the couple makes available for guests to choose as a gift.

Can you change the registry after sharing it?

Yes, most platforms let you add, remove, or swap items at any time — just make sure to notify guests who already purchased something if an item gets removed, to avoid confusion.

How to Build the Perfect Wedding Registry

Equipe MevliPublished on 2026-07-17

Building the perfect wedding registry is more about structure than about the items themselves: price variety, a balanced quantity, and well-planned timing for sharing it matter just as much as picking the right products.

Where should you start building the registry?

The first step is an honest assessment of what's missing for the home (or for the couple's life together, if they already live together) — appliances, kitchenware, bedding, organizational items. Only after mapping out real needs does it make sense to pick the store or platform that will host the registry.

How many items should be on the registry?

The sweet spot is usually between 30 and 50 items, with options across at least three different price ranges. Registries that are too short run out fast, leaving last-minute guests without an option; ones that are too long make it harder for guests to decide.

How do you balance low, mid, and high-price items?

A common split is: 40% more affordable items, 40% mid-range items, and 20% pricier ones (usually meant as group gifts split between several guests). This ensures any guest, regardless of budget, finds a comfortable option.

Is it worth using more than one store or platform?

It depends on your goal. A single platform centralizes everything and makes it easier for the couple to manage, but combining a traditional in-store registry with an online cash-contribution platform covers both guests who prefer a physical gift and those who'd rather contribute financially.

When and how should you tell guests about the registry?

The best approach is sharing the registry alongside the invitation or shortly after, with a discreet link or QR code — never as the invitation's main highlight. Reinforcing the link on the wedding website, if there is one, also helps guests find it whenever they decide to buy.

Besides the registry, organize every photo from the party too — and soon you'll be able to build your wedding registry right inside Mevli.
