Wedding NFC wristbands · 2026
Wedding NFC wristbands & tap-to-share albums, explained.
A Wearable Wedding band is an engraved bead bracelet — an NFC wedding wristband — given to each guest. A tap to a phone opens that guest’s own page in your shared wedding album — no app, no login — and every guest’s photos gather into one album the couple keeps. Guests choose, per photo: public, friends-only, or just the couple.

Questions couples ask
What is a Wearable Wedding band?
It is an engraved bead bracelet — also known as an NFC wedding wristband — given to each guest as a favor. A guest taps it to their phone and their own page in your shared wedding album opens, no app and no login, so every guest's candid photos gather into one album the couple keeps.
How does a wedding NFC wristband share photos?
Each band has a tiny tap chip and a printed code. A guest taps it to their phone — or scans the code — and a photo album opens that already knows who they are, so they can add their shots in seconds. The printed code is the backup for any phone that can't tap.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. A tap opens a normal web page in the phone's browser. There is nothing to install and no account to create — even grandparents manage it in one step.
Can guests keep some photos private?
Yes, and they choose photo by photo: public (everyone at the wedding), friends-only (the circle the guest picks), or just the couple. It is enforced behind the scenes, not merely hidden in the interface, so each setting really means it.
Which phones can tap a wedding band?
Virtually all modern iPhones and Android phones can tap. For older phones, a matching QR code is printed on each band as a backup, so no guest is ever left out.
How much do wedding bands cost?
Bands are made to order, from a minimum of five bands and a $250 order minimum, because the setup is most of the work. Most couples order one band per guest. We send a proof and a sample before you pay — it is a consultative order, not a blind checkout.
Are the bands good quality, and is the link safe?
Each band is made to keepsake quality and individually engraved with your guests' names. Once your album link is set, it is locked so it cannot be changed after your wedding — the keepsake is yours, safely.
What happens to the photos after the wedding?
Everything gathers into one shared album the couple owns. Browse, like, comment, and download every photo, export the whole album in one click, or order a printed wedding book — with the comments friends and family left, kept.
