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.

Are online registries safe for receiving payments?

Yes, as long as the platform is reputable and uses recognized payment processors — it's best to avoid improvised links or direct bank transfer requests with no protection, especially for larger amounts.

Can you use an online registry even for a more traditional wedding?

Yes, no problem. An online registry doesn't replace traditional wedding etiquette — it just changes how it's accessed. Many traditional couples already adopt the digital version purely for convenience, while keeping the rest of the ceremony classic.

Online Wedding Registry: The Advantages

Equipe MevliPublished on 2026-07-17

An online wedding registry solves two problems of the physical version at once: guests from out of town can participate without needing to visit a specific store, and the couple can track everything in real time, without relying on manual store reports.

What's different between a physical and an online registry?

A physical registry is limited to the network of stores chosen, usually restricted to one city or region. The online version removes that geographic barrier entirely — any guest, from anywhere, can access the registry from their phone or computer and complete the purchase in a few clicks.

Advantages of centralizing everything on one online platform

Beyond remote access, the online version usually offers real-time updates on which items have already been purchased, avoiding duplicates — something much harder to control on a physical registry that only depends on a store's internal system.

How do out-of-town guests benefit from an online registry?

For guests who won't be able to attend the ceremony but still want to give a gift, the online registry is practically the only viable option — no need to ship a physical gift by mail or ask someone else to buy on their behalf.

No more asking for photos in the group chat

With Mevli, every guest becomes a photographer and photos show up live — no app, no signup.

Can you combine an online registry with cash contributions?

Yes, and it's one of the biggest advantages of the online version — most platforms already offer a cash contribution option side by side with physical items, in a single registry, with no need for a separate link just for that.

What's coming next: a wedding registry built into Mevli itself

Mevli already centralizes wedding photos in one place — and soon it will bring the wedding registry into the same platform too, combining gifts and event memories into a single experience, without the couple needing to manage separate tools.

Centralize every guest's photos too — and keep an eye out: soon Mevli will bring the wedding registry and photo album together in one place.

Your next event will be remembered — literally

Create your event in 1 minute, print the QR code, and watch your guests have a blast while capturing every moment.
