QR codes for wedding and event invitations
Guests ask the same questions again and again: where to park, what to wear, where the hotel is, and where to send photos. A code on the invitation or the table sign answers them in one place you can keep updating until the day.
Pay $3 for one code that opens your event page. Add the schedule, travel details, RSVP form, and a photo album link, then print the code once.
One code, many guest questions
A card can only hold so much. A code lets you move the travel details, the registry, and the dress code onto a page that can grow with your plans, without crowding the stationery.
Guests who want the details will scan. Guests who don't can ignore the code, which keeps the paper clean.
Where the code goes on paper goods
Put the code where guests look when they open the card, not on the envelope flap, where it gets hidden.
- Place it on the reply card or the back of the invitation, with a short line beside it.
- Add a sign at the seating table with the code at the top, where guests look for their name first.
- Put a sign by the photo station that says 'Scan to add your photos,' so guests know what the code is for.
- Choose matte, cream, or white stock. Metallic and heavily textured paper make the code hard to read.
Finish the page before you print
Decide the destination page before the cards go to print, because the code points at that page for good. Build it with the schedule, travel, and RSVP form, then test it on two phones.
Keep the printed address beside the code too. Some guests will prefer to type it, and some phones are slow to scan from a card held at an angle.
Keep the photos page after the event
The same code can open a photo album that guests can add to after the day. Once the event is over, the page stays up for as long as you keep it online, so the photos stay easy to find.

Questions
Will older guests be able to scan the code?
Most phones scan from the camera app without installing anything. Print the web address next to the code too, for anyone who prefers to type it.
Can I use the code for RSVPs?
Yes, if your RSVP page is a web form. Test it on a phone before you send the invitations.
How long does the code work?
As long as the page it opens stays online. Keep the page up after the event if you want the photos to stay available.
