Complete guide: how to create a shared birthday album on GiftsQR

GiftsQR lets you create a birthday page with a special layout: honoree name, message for friends and family, a photo gallery (your digital album), and a mobile-friendly experience. It is ideal for gathering party photos, messages, and memories in one place.

This guide walks you from zero to sharing, using product screenshots and site assets.

What you will have at the end

• A unique link (e.g. giftsqr.com/en/birthday/...)
• A QR Code to print on the invitation, dessert table, or signs at the venue
• A page with featured photos and copy for your guests

What to prepare before you start

• Name to display (how the birthday person should appear on the page)
• Message for guests: wishes, party memories, or a surprise note

Step 1 — Open the birthday page

Open birthday setup on GiftsQR: giftsqr.com/en/birthday

There you will see the initial form and the flow to create your album.

Step 2 — Enter your details

1. Enter the name exactly as guests should see it.
2. If WhatsApp delivery for the QR is available, use the phone field with country and area code when prompted.

Step 2.1 — Choose the page style

1. Pick a page style; you can refine it later.
2. Adjust colors, photo treatment, and how the layout looks.

Step 3 — Page created: link, QR, and editing

After checkout, you land on the “created” screen with:

• Your public page link
• The QR Code to download or share
• Access to the editor (photos, copy, and visual details)

Keep your editor link somewhere safe — that is where you update the album after the party.

Step 5 — Preview and share

In the editor, use Copy link and View page to see the album as a guest would.

Ideas:

• QR Code on the invite, party favor, or welcome board
• Link in a family chat or digital save the date

Tips for a polished result

1. Copy: short paragraphs read better on phones.
2. Photos: mix portraits of the birthday person and party shots; avoid images that are too dark.
3. Design: use a strong hero image next to the QR Code so people want to scan it.

Frequently asked questions

Does the QR Code expire?
On the unlimited plan, your gallery can stay online indefinitely, depending on the product.

Is there a photo limit?
You can add many images; use the editor to curate the best moments.
