Ideas for wedding QR codes
- Photo album: guests upload their pictures to a shared album, for example in Google Photos or iCloud. No more chasing photos for weeks.
- Wedding website: schedule, dress code, hotels and gift list in one place.
- RSVP: a link to a form, so all replies end up in one list.
- Directions: a location QR code for the ceremony, the venue or the car park.
- Wi-Fi: a WiFi QR code for the venue’s guest network.
- Playlist: guests add their favorite songs to a shared playlist.
Where to place the codes
On the invitation or save-the-date for RSVPs and the wedding website. On table cards and the welcome sign for the photo album. In the program or on the menu card for the playlist. Each code can have its own design, but a common color palette makes everything look like one piece.
On invitations, 2 to 3 cm is enough. On a welcome sign that people read from a few steps away, plan 10 cm or more.
Make sure the link lasts
Scanoli codes do not expire, but the target has to stay available. Set up shared albums and forms so that guests without an account can open them. Test the link in a private browser window before printing, and do not delete the album right after the wedding while guests are still uploading.
Beautiful and still readable
Hearts, gold tones and soft backgrounds look lovely, but every decoration costs some readability. The readability check in the editor shows immediately whether the code still scans. Print a test page and scan it with two or three phones, ideally in the light of the venue. If something does not work, the guide QR code not scanning helps.
