A naming ceremony is a hundred guests, a few hundred photos, and a month of relatives asking each other for copies. The problem is smaller than a wedding but identical in shape.
Small event, same delivery problem
A naming ceremony, a mundan, an anniversary, a first birthday — these are intimate functions with fifty to a hundred and fifty guests. Nobody hires a logistics team. The photos land on the phones of whoever was holding one, and the family spends the next month asking each other for copies.
The problem is identical to a wedding, just smaller: photos exist, but they are scattered across devices and nobody wants to chase a hundred people for them.
Why the usual methods underperform here
WhatsApp groups feel natural for a family function, which is exactly why the compression goes unnoticed until someone tries to print a photo of the baby and finds it soft. Shared drives fail on the older relatives who most want the pictures. And a public album link raises a reasonable question — do you want your family function indexed and browsable?
What this size of event actually needs is simple: one private place, everyone finds themselves, nobody has to install anything.
The QR approach for a family function
Print one card, or send the code into the family group. Guests scan, register with a name, consent to matching, and upload a selfie. They see only the photos they appear in.
For a hundred guests this takes about thirty seconds each, and the payoff is that grandparents get a private album of themselves with the baby without anyone helping them navigate anything.
What it costs
A naming ceremony typically produces 400–1,500 edited photos — comfortably inside the free tier for a single event.
| Plan | Storage | Price | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 1 GB | ₹0 | One ceremony, 250–500 phone photos |
| Entry | 100 GB | ₹833.25/mo, billed yearly | Several functions or a professional shoot |
| Mid | 500 GB | ₹1,166.58/mo | A year of family events |
Prices exclude 18% GST. The free tier needs no card and does not expire.
If you are the photographer rather than the family, the same tiers apply and you can deliver the ceremony on the free plan before deciding whether the workflow earns a paid plan.
