1. Keep Your Guests Engaged
We’ve all been to those events where there are a few awkward lulls, right? Maybe the ceremony just ended, or the buffet line is taking forever. Whatever the reason, guests can sometimes zone out and feel disconnected. But with Glowstick, you can keep them engaged and in the moment. Imagine this: just as your guests start to wonder what’s next, their phones buzz with a fun prompt like, “Snap a selfie with your table!” or “Take a pic of your group’s best dance move!” Suddenly, everyone’s back in the game, cameras out, ready to capture the fun.
The best part? You can customize these prompts to match your event’s vibe. Want to keep things light and silly? Go for it. Want to add some heartfelt moments? You can do that too. Your guests won’t just be attending your event; they’ll be part of making it epic.
2. Capture the Real, Unfiltered Moments
Professional photographers are great, but they can’t be everywhere at once. And let’s face it, some of the best moments at any event aren’t the perfectly posed shots, but the spontaneous, candid ones. That moment when Uncle Bob whips out a hidden case of Smirnoff Ice, or when your bestie catches you and your partner stealing a kiss—those are the moments that truly capture the spirit of the day.
Text message prompts from Glowstick encourage your guests to capture these real moments. And because the prompts come right to their phones, they’re ready to snap those shots at just the right time. The result? A collection of photos and videos that tell the whole story of your event, through the eyes of the people who matter most.
These candid shots often reveal the true essence of your event, capturing not just the big moments, but also the little ones that make the day uniquely yours. Guests who might be shy or hesitant to take photos on their own are gently nudged into action by the prompts, leading to a treasure trove of memories that you might have otherwise missed.
3. Make Your Wedding/Event Extra Special
Let’s be honest, you want your event to feel personal. With text prompts from Glowstick, you can do just that. You get to create prompts that fit the theme and feel of your event, and use Glowstick’s proprietary Genie AI to help your messages match your preferences. Having a wedding with a romantic vibe? Send out prompts like, “Snap a pic of the couple sharing a sweet moment!” or “Who’s got the best ‘aww’ face during the vows?” Planning a corporate event? How about something like, “Capture your team crushing today’s challenge!”
These little prompts help your guests feel like they’re part of something unique, not just another event. Plus, it shows you’ve put thought into making the day as special for them as it is for you. And let’s face it, everyone loves a little extra attention to detail.
By tailoring the prompts to reflect your personal style or the event’s theme, you’re not just hosting a gathering—you’re creating an experience that’s entirely your own. Whether it’s a casual backyard party or an elegant wedding, the personalized prompts make your event feel more intimate and connected. It’s like giving your guests a backstage pass to the heart of your celebration, where they can participate in the story you’re crafting together.
4. Get Guests Sharing Photos (Privately!)
In our always-online world, social interaction doesn’t just stop when the event ends. People love to share their experiences, but not everyone wants to post their private moments on public social media. Glowstick has you covered with a private live social feed where your guests can upload their photos and videos. It’s like your own little Instagram, but way more intimate.
This private feed is where the real magic happens. Guests can like, comment, and relive the best moments of the day, all without the noise of a public platform. Plus, it’s a great way to keep the event’s energy going long after it’s over. And who doesn’t love a good laugh looking back at all the shenanigans?
Having a private social feed also means your event’s moments stay within your circle, allowing for more genuine and heartfelt interactions. Your guests won’t have to worry about their photos or videos being seen by strangers—they can share freely, knowing it’s all in a safe, closed environment. This fosters a stronger sense of community, where everyone feels comfortable contributing to the collective memory of the day.
5. Make the Memories Last Forever
Here’s the thing: after all the cake is eaten and the last song has played, what you’re left with are the memories. And let me tell you, Glowstick helps you keep those memories alive in the best way possible. By prompting your guests to capture moments throughout the whole event, not just the reception, you end up with a treasure trove of photos and videos that you might have otherwise missed.
All these memories are saved on the private social feed, so you can download them immediately and keep them forever. Imagine having a digital scrapbook of your wedding day, filled with all the little moments that made it so special. Or a collection of hilarious videos from your bachelorette party that you and your girls can laugh about for years. These aren’t just memories—they’re the moments that made your event truly one-of-a-kind.
The beauty of these memories lies in their authenticity. Because they’re captured by the people who were there, they reflect the true energy and emotion of the day. Whether it’s a teary-eyed parent during the vows or a group of friends cracking up at an inside joke, these moments are genuine, unfiltered, and full of life. And having them all in one place means you can relive the magic anytime you want.
6. Reduce Stress During Your Wedding
Planning an event is stressful. You’ve got a million things to think about, and the last thing you want to worry about is whether every important moment is getting captured. That’s where Glowstick comes in. You can set up the prompts on your time, guests can add themselves directly to the event, and the Glowstick Genie AI can help you brainstorm the best messages. Once you’ve set up your prompts, you can sit back and relax, knowing that your guests are on the job.
And because your guests are the ones snapping pics and videos, you don’t have to worry about missing anything. Through these pictures, you can be everywhere without actually having to be in multiple places at once. The pressure to document every detail isn’t all on you or your photographer—it’s spread out among everyone there.
By sharing the responsibility with your guests, you’re not only ensuring a more comprehensive collection of memories, but you’re also freeing yourself to be fully present at your event. No more stressing over whether the photographer caught that adorable moment between the flower girl and ring bearer, or if someone got a shot of your grandparents hitting the dance floor. With everyone pitching in, you can focus on what really matters—enjoying your special day with the people you love.
7. the Big Moments Even Bigger
Every event has those key moments—the first kiss, the big toast, the surprise announcement—that everyone will remember. With Glowstick, you can make sure these moments don’t just happen—they’re celebrated. You can time your prompts to go out just before these big moments, getting everyone ready to capture them from every angle.
Think about it: you’re about to have your first dance, and just before you step onto the floor, your guests get a prompt like, “Get ready to snap the first dance magic!” Now, instead of just the official photographer getting the shot, you’ve got a whole crowd of people capturing it from every perspective. It’s like turning your event into a shared experience that everyone is a part of.
These synchronized prompts create a sense of anticipation and excitement, turning your guests into active participants in your event’s most memorable moments. They’re not just spectators—they’re part of the action, documenting the event from their unique perspectives. And when you look back at all the photos and videos, you’ll have a multi-faceted view of these special moments, making them feel even more significant.
