Party planning ideas

Plan a photo wall people will want to join.

Match the screen to the occasion, give guests a reason to contribute, and rehearse the setup so you can host the people, not the technology.

Choose by occasion or mood

Theme ideas for the kind of gathering you're hosting

Start with the feeling you want in the room. Each theme coordinates the photo framing, color, type, motion, messages, and QR treatment.

Bright, playful, or polished

Birthdays & milestones

Try these themes

Birthday, Colorful Disco, Kids Adventure, Milestone Celebration, or Fancy Party

Share a favorite memory with the guest of honor, or recreate an old photo together.

Romantic, floral, or storybook

Weddings, showers & anniversaries

Try these themes

Wedding, Garden Romance, Baby Storybook, Anniversary, or Classic

Capture a detail the couple or guest of honor may not get to see during the day.

Proud, nostalgic, or modern

Graduations, reunions & team events

Try these themes

Graduation Spotlight, Family Reunion, Modern Art, Spotlight, or Art Museum

Take a then-and-now photo, a group shot, or a picture with someone who helped you get here.

Casual, energetic, or after-dark

Backyard parties, game days & dance floors

Try these themes

Summer Backyard, Game Day, Nightclub Disco, Retro Synthwave, or Polaroid Memories

Show the room from your angle: the best dance move, team spirit, or a candid from the sidelines.

Festive, cozy, or dramatic

Holidays & seasonal gatherings

Try these themes

Halloween Party, Autumn Harvest, Winter Holiday, New Year’s Eve, or Celestial Atlas

Photograph the tradition, decoration, outfit, or small moment that makes this gathering yours.

Quiet, respectful, and photo-first

Formal events & remembrance

Try these themes

Memorial, Garden Memory, Spotlight, Classic, or Your Background

Invite guests to share a meaningful photo, memory, or message that belongs in the room.

Keep the wall moving

Give guests a reason to take the next photo

Pick a few that fit the occasion. Mention one out loud, place it near the QR sign, or send it in the group chat when the wall needs fresh photos.

A moment the host might miss
The best view from your seat
A photo with someone you just met
A favorite tradition in action
The detail that made you smile
A message for the guest of honor
A candid from the dance floor
A then-and-now recreation

Party-ready checklist

Rehearse the photo experience before the room fills up

Use the exact phone, network, display, and connection path you expect at the gathering.

While planning

  • Choose where the TV or projector will sit without blocking the room.
  • Decide how the display will connect: Chromecast / Google TV, TV browser, AirPlay, or HDMI.
  • Pick a theme that matches the mood, then choose auto-approval or review-first moderation.
  • Plan where the QR code will be visible and add the guest link to the group chat.

Before guests arrive

  • Open the guest link on the phone and network you expect to use.
  • Upload a sample photo and confirm the framing, message, and approval behavior.
  • Open the wall on the actual display, enter full screen, and check the viewing distance.
  • Add a few photos before guests arrive so the first people who scan can see how it works.

During & after

  • Keep the QR visible and give guests a simple picture idea when the room needs fresh photos.
  • Check pending photos when using review-first moderation, and hide anything that does not fit the moment.
  • Turn guest uploads off when the event is winding down, then review the final collection.
  • Download the event album and keep a separate backup of the memories you want to preserve.

Choose the display path

Chromecast / Google TV

Open the wall in Chrome, cast the tab, then enter full screen.

TV browser

Open FunPartyApp on the TV and enter the event code from the Host Hub.

Laptop + HDMI

A dependable physical display connection; live uploads still need internet.

AirPlay

Mirror the slideshow from a supported Apple device to Apple TV.

Choose how photos reach the wall

Auto-approval

Best for a trusted crowd and the quickest live reaction. The host can still hide or delete a photo afterward.

Review first

Best when every photo should wait for host approval before it becomes public to the event gallery or wall.

Whichever you choose, practice the moderation flow and keep the Host Hub within reach during the event.
