How do I set up a photo wall for a hen party or bachelorette?

Create a wall at qrwall.live, name it after the bride, and open the display link on the TV — through its browser, a laptop on HDMI, or casting. The QR code shows on the wall itself; guests scan it with their phone camera and their photos and messages appear on screen in about a second. No app, no account, and setup takes under a minute.

Can friends who can't come to the hen do still post?

Yes. The wall is a web link as well as a QR code. Share the link in the group chat and friends at home post messages and photos from wherever they are; they appear on the TV at the party with everyone else's.

Does it work on the TV in an Airbnb or rental house?

Usually, yes. The wall is a web page, so any TV with a browser, a laptop connected over HDMI, or a phone casting to the TV will show it. Guests post over their own mobile data, so the rental's Wi-Fi only matters for the TV.

Is it the same thing for a hens night or a bachelorette party?

Yes. Hen do (UK and Ireland), hens night (Australia and New Zealand) and bachelorette party (US) are the same occasion under different names, and the wall works the same way for all of them — you just name the wall whatever your group calls it.

Can we stop anything too wild from appearing on screen?

Yes, on Professional ($19.99/month): turn on the approval queue and every post waits for a one-tap yes before it reaches the TV, and AI moderation screens text and images automatically. Useful when family is part of the group.

Does the bride keep the photos afterwards?

On Premium ($10.99/mo) and Professional ($19.99/mo), yes: you download every photo, video and message as a ZIP archive and get a gallery link to send her. The free plan shows posts live but doesn't keep them for download.

For hen dos, hens nights and bachelorettes

The whole weekend, on the TV. Including the friends who couldn't come.

Guests scan a code on the screen and post photos and messages — the matching outfits, the games, the toast at dinner — and it lands on the TV in the rental or the restaurant in about a second. Friends at home post from the link. No app.

Create your hen party wall

Free to start. No card, no commitment.

Friends at home, in the room: The wall is a link as well as a QR code. The bridesmaid on a night shift and the cousin abroad post a message for the bride, and it appears on the TV with everyone else's.
Games that need a screen: "Who knows the bride best", a dare list, a guess-the-baby-photo round — guests answer on their phones and the room reads it on the TV.
The bride keeps it: Every photo, video and message downloads as one archive afterwards on a paid plan — the weekend, and what her friends wrote to her.

A hen party photo wall is a live screen at a hen do, hens night or bachelorette party — the TV in the rental, a restaurant's screen, a projector — that guests post photos, short videos and messages to by scanning a QR code shown on the wall itself. There is no app and no account: a guest opens the phone camera, scans, and her photo of the matching outfits is on the TV in about a second.

It suits a hen weekend because the group is split: the friends who made it, sharing photos in a group chat the bride half-reads, and the friends who couldn't, sending messages she'll see later. The wall puts both on one screen during the weekend and, on a paid plan, hands the bride one gallery of all of it afterwards. In the UK and Ireland it's a hen do, in Australia and New Zealand a hens night, in the US a bachelorette — the wall works the same for all three.

Ready in three steps

The maid of honour sets it up before everyone arrives. After that, the only thing anyone does is scan.

STEP 1

Put the wall on the TV

Create a wall, name it ("Sophie's hen do"), and open the display link in the TV's browser, from a laptop over HDMI, or by casting. The QR code shows on the wall itself.
STEP 2

Send the link to the ones at home

Drop the wall's link in the group chat for the friends who couldn't come. They post a message or an old photo of the bride, and it reaches the screen that night.
STEP 3

Everyone posts, the bride keeps it

Outfits, games, dinner, the toast. Every post appears in about a second; on a paid plan you download everything afterwards and send the bride the gallery.

Built for a weekend, not a ballroom

A rented house, a group split between here and home, and a bride who wants the lot.

Any TV will do

The wall is a web page. The TV's browser, a laptop on HDMI or a cast from a phone is all the setup there is — nothing to install on the TV or on anyone's phone.

Messages for the bride

Written messages appear next to the photos, so the advice from her aunt and the note from the friend who couldn't come get their moment on the screen — and stay in the archive.

Old photos welcome

Guests post from their camera roll as well as the camera, so the school-trip photo from 2009 goes up next to tonight's. A guess-the-year round writes itself.

When the bride's mum is in the group PRO

On Professional, the approval queue holds every post until the maid of honour taps yes, and AI moderation screens text and images before they reach it.

Half the group chat was never at the party

A hen weekend produces two streams of messages and neither reaches the bride properly. The friends there take hundreds of photos and share a few in a group chat she scrolls past at 2am. The friends who couldn't come send a heartfelt message she reads the next week, alone, on her phone.

The wall puts both on the TV, in the room, while it's happening: tonight's photos next to the message from the friend in Sydney or Toronto, and the whole group watching it together. Afterwards it's one gallery instead of three group chats — the thing she'd have asked someone to collect for her anyway.

The same wall, in Grid

Everything on screen at once — the view for the living room, when everyone wants to find their own photo.

Grid fills the screen with every recent photo at once, which is what a room full of people crowds around. Slideshow gives each post its moment, which suits the messages and a quiz round. Switch from your phone; nobody rescans.

The first wall of the wedding season

Every plan lets you create as many walls as you want, so the hen party wall and the wedding wall can sit on the same account — and the hen weekend is where you find out which prompts your friends actually answer. See the wedding wall and engagement parties.

Start free and try it on the TV the night before. Premium is $10.99/month (billed in US dollars) for everything on screen and the download; switch it on for the weekend and cancel once the bride has her gallery.
