Reunions

We see each other every ten years: this time, we keep everything.

A family gathering or reunion brings together people scattered for years. Fotelya gathers their photos from the day, and their archives, before everyone leaves again.

The problem with reunions

The paradox of reunions: we wait for this moment for years, we live it intensely, then everyone goes home and the photos never circulate. Worse still: the treasures of archives, photos from the previous generation, old summers, ski trips, remain in boxes that no one shares. Yet this is the perfect day to bring everything together.

How Fotelya addresses this

I

A QR code at the meal

You create the album and place the QR code on the tables: everyone scans it between conversations.

II

The day AND the archives

Photos from the day, but also old photos scanned or photographed: everything joins the album.

III

Everyone leaves with everything

The complete album is shared with everyone: the common memory, finally in one place.

What you gain

Moments not to be missed

A family gathering or reunion brings together people who don’t see each other often, and who each leave with their own photos.

Leave the album open for several weeks: for this type of event, submissions often arrive long after it ends.

How many photos to expect

For a one-day event with 30 to 100 people, expect between five hundred and one thousand five hundred files. Add some extra space for the archive photos participants digitize on site.

Frequently asked questions

How to share old family photos?
The easiest way: photograph them on site with your phone, or upload scans. The album becomes a shared vault for archives that each branch of the family kept in their own corner.
Can everyone retrieve the album?
The organizer downloads the entire album in one click and shares the link: everyone leaves with all the photos, including those from the day and the archives.
Will the less tech-savvy manage it?
Yes. No account, no app: the camera reads the QR code, just two simple steps. Seniors participate just as much as teens.
Is the album private?
Yes. Accessible only via the QR code or the shared link to the group, with an optional PIN code. Hosted in the European Union, GDPR compliant.
