photo sharing response?

For the ladies who did a photo sharing site, how was the response? Did you get a lot of people to post their pictures, and did you get any good ones?

We had about 7 or 8 people post so far (including my parents and DH's parents), which I thought was pretty good, and some of the pictures are really great. But I feel like I'm stalking people now. I have friends who posted fantastic pictures on FB and I want them to put them on the photo sharing site so I can order some prints! I sent them an email being like "hey...maybe we could steal those pics from you?" But now I feel a little neurotic for it...

Re: photo sharing response?

  • We've only had a few, but I think its because someone didnt put the cards where I wanted them & people didnt see them. Honestly, I know this is terrible but the people I know were taking pictures Im sending them a card in with their thank you, mostly just family & close friends who I know wont be offended & I know if they had seen the little card to begin with they would have posted them to the site.

  • I didn't do the photo share thing, I just have been asking everyone via e-mail and FB for their pics. Most everyone has posted them on FB, so I just get them off there. Once I have them all, I can order prints.

  • No one has posted anything to our photosharing site.  I am sending out the cards in our thank yous though.  We had like 400 of them left over, so why not.  We'll see what kind of response we get when we send out the thank yous this week.

  • i had about 5 people post pics there, and 10 people post pics to FB. whatever didn't make it to the photsharing site from FB, i'll just load them over myself. i got my pro pics back a week after the wedding, though, so i wasn't jonesing for the guests pictures nearly as much as i thought i would be.
  • I'm surprised by the lack of people posting on our Shutterfly site.  So far, ONE has.  Like PPs, at least 5 other people have pics on FB.  I've just taken them from there instead.  I don't get it, but I actually don't care as much as I thought I would, either.

  • You could always save the facebook pictures to your computer and upload them yourself to the photoshare site.  Not fun but nicer than stalking.
  • Only about 3 of our guests uploaded anything.  But from what i saw, only about that many guests had cameras.

    I could, but the quality might be crappy, since a lot of photos taken from the web are only 72 dpi resolution. I'm worried they'll print poorly. Of course, no guaranteeing what quality people upload -- I always upload photos at their biggest size/quality, but it takes forever, so I shouldn't assume others have that kind of patience. :)

    ETA: Shutterfly has a cool feature that allows you to import Facebook pictures of you into a Simple Path photo book. Not sure what the quality is like but it's probably better than pulling it off yourself. Unfortunately it doesn't work if you're doing a custom photo book, at least not that I can find!

  • I think only my sister has uploaded photos so far. I don't think the older relatives know what to do with it.
