How to set up Relivv for your wedding in 5 minutes

You've just created your Relivv event. Now you're staring at the dashboard wondering what to do next — and the wedding is in three weeks. Don't panic. The setup that actually matters takes five minutes, and we'll walk you through it step by step.

By the end of this article you'll have everything ready: your event link, your printed QR cards, your photo wall display set up, and a clear sense of how the day will run. No technical skills needed.

Step 1 — Name your event and pick your URL

30 seconds

The first decision is your event's public URL. Something short and memorable works best — most couples go with their first names, like relivv.me/maria-and-ivan or relivv.me/sarah-john-2026.

You'll use this URL as the destination behind every QR code, and it's also what guests can type into a browser if they prefer. Keep it under 25 characters if you can. Spaces become hyphens automatically.

Heads up: You can change the URL later, but try not to — once you've printed your QR cards, the URL is locked in until reprint.

Step 2 — Upload your cover photo and event details

1 minute

The cover photo is the first thing guests see when they open the link on their phone. Pick something that sets the tone — an engagement photo works beautifully, but anything that says "this is us" is fine. You can also use a photo of the venue.

Fill in your event name as you want guests to see it (not all lowercase, not all caps — just normal title case: "Maria & Ivan", "The Petrov Wedding", whatever feels right). Add the date so the welcome screen shows it clearly.

You don't need to overthink this. Whatever you choose now, you can update right up until the wedding day.

Step 3 — Generate and print your QR cards

2 minutes

This is the most important step. From the dashboard, click Generate QR Code. You'll see three template options:

🪑 Table Card — A5 landscape, one per page. Perfect for placing one on every guest table. The design has the QR code on one side and a "How to scan" explanation on the other, so guests don't have to figure it out.
💍 Elegant Card — Four small cards per A4 page. Best if you want to include the QR on your invitations or table place settings. The smaller format is more discreet.
🖼️ Poster — Full A4 portrait. Print one or two for the entrance, the gift table, or wherever the most foot traffic happens.

Most couples use a combination: 8-15 table cards (one per guest table), 1-2 posters for high-visibility spots, and optionally the elegant cards for invitations. Print on regular printer paper or take the PDFs to a local print shop for thicker cardstock — under €15 either way.

Pro tip: If your wedding has a colour theme, the platform lets you pick the accent colour for your QR cards so they match your stationery.

Step 4 — Set up the live photo wall on the day

1 minute on the day

This is the screen everyone gets excited about. You have three options for how to display it at the venue:

→ A projector pointed at a wall — most common, biggest impact. Most wedding venues already have one.
→ A large TV mounted on a stand — good for smaller venues. Anything 50 inches or larger works well.
→ A laptop screen near the dance floor — minimalist setup. Surprisingly effective at intimate weddings.

Whichever you pick, the setup is the same: open a browser on whatever device drives the screen, go to your event URL with /wall at the end (so relivv.me/maria-and-ivan/wall), and press F11 to go fullscreen. That's it. The wall will start displaying photos and updating in real time as guests upload.

Test it first: Test the wall once before the wedding day — ideally a few days before — so you know it works on the venue's WiFi. Five minutes of testing saves a stressful moment on the day.

Step 5 — Brief whoever is helping you

30 seconds

Whether that's your wedding planner, your MC, or your most organised friend — give them three pieces of information:

1 Where the QR cards are placed (table list)
2 The device displaying the live wall (and how to wake it up if it goes to sleep)
3 Your dashboard login, in case anything needs moderating during the event

You probably won't need any of this. But knowing someone else has a copy means you can focus on your day instead of your dashboard.

What to expect on the wedding day

The first photo will appear on the wall about 30 seconds after the first guest scans. From there, the wall fills up organically. Most weddings see a slow trickle during cocktails, an explosion during dinner and dancing, and a final burst during the goodbyes.

By midnight you'll typically have between 200 and 1,500 photos depending on the size of the event. They're all saved to your shared album automatically — you don't have to download anything to keep them.

The morning after, log into your dashboard, click on the event, and scroll. The whole thing is there. Your wedding, from every angle, captured by everyone who was there.

The single biggest predictor of how many photos your wedding wall gets isn't the QR card design or the screen size. It's how visible the live wall itself is.

Guests upload more when they can see the result of their upload appearing on the screen seconds later. The wall is the magnet — put it somewhere visible.

That's it. Five minutes of setup, one day of magic, a lifetime of photos to look back on.
