I used flickr. What I did was create a new email account (hubbysname.myname@yahoo.com) and created a flickr account with that email addy. That way I didn't care if our guests had the user name and password. Months after our wedding, I changed the password.
Here is what our photosharing card said:

When did you give out these cards? At the wedding? In the invitations?
Thanks sooooo much mssushi!!! That helps a ton! I really, really appreciate the help!! :)
No prob! We had a welcome BBQ 2 days before the wedding, so I gave them out then (in their gift bags). Otherwise I probably would have given them out with the favors at the wedding. And maybe send them out again with the thank you cards (to remind them).
I would go a different route than Ms Sushi but that is because my friends are pranksters that would take the password and log in to my account and change/delete all the uploaded pictures (after backing up, of course).
Flickr (and Picasa) both have email upload features:
For Flickr, go to http://www.flickr.com/account/uploadbyemail/?from=email
and tell your guests to email to the address listed like so:
For Picasa Web Albums, go to http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/settings# and set your email upload secret word. Then give your guests the email address for uploading.
The benefit of this method is that pretty much everybody is accustomed to email pictures anyway so it makes it easy to share.
I hope this helps!
I'm using picassa through gmail.
When you log into your gmail account, click on More in the top menu and then click Photos. It will open up a new window with your Picassa account.
Click on Settings on the very top menu.
Type in the name you want displayed (ie. His Name & Her Name) in the Nickname field.
Under gallery URL it shows you the web address for your web gallery. If you don't like it, you can click the link to change the web address.
Select "Allow me to upload photos by email."
Choose a secret word. The email address displayed is where your guests can email their photos to.
What we're doing to make it easier is creating an easy to remember email address on our wedding website that will forward to the Picassa email automatically. We also created a subdomain on our website that automatically forwards to the Picassa gallery.
Jojo, that's genius! :)

Hi Hive,
I know that there have been a million posts about this topic...but I want to set up an account for guests to upload their wedding photos to. Can anyone give me directions as to how to do this? I don't really care about which site I use...I just want to be able to see everyone's pictures. I've been trying (and failing miserably) to figure out how to do this....but I don't want to give guests my login and password....it seems like you have to do that on flicker (which is linked to my yahoo email adress and password...and I'm definitely not giving that out!). I'm just getting really frustrated with the whole thing, so any help would be very much appreciated!!! I know that a lot of guests will upload to Facebook....but I would rather have a set place for them to upload their pics to. Can anyone give me directions or tips? You would be my absolute hero!!! :) Thanks everyone!!!!
