How to Add a QR Code to Your Wedding

A wedding QR code is a scannable code printed on your invitations, signs, or stationery that opens something when a guest's phone camera scans it - usually your wedding website, an RSVP form, a shared photo album, or your registry. It lets guests reach the details or reply in one tap, without typing a long web address.

The most useful destination is your wedding website, since it can hold your schedule, directions, dress code, RSVP, and registry in one place. Other popular options are a shared photo album where guests upload their pictures, a registry link, or a live-stream page for guests who can't attend. Pick one clear destination so the scan does exactly what guests expect.

You point the code at your wedding website or RSVP form, and guests scan it with their phone camera to open the page and reply. Because the code just links to a page you control, you collect responses the same way you would from any web form - no app or account for guests, and no paper cards to mail back.

Yes. Link the code to a shared album - a Google Photos or Dropbox folder, or a dedicated wedding photo app - and guests scan it to upload their candids straight from their phones. It's a simple way to gather the moments your photographer couldn't be in two places for, all in one collection.

Yes. You can place your initials, a monogram, or a small motif in the center of the code, and match its colors to your palette. QR codes use error correction to stay readable, so a modest centered logo won't stop it from scanning - just keep it small and test the result before printing.

Use a vector format - SVG, PDF, or EPS - so the code stays perfectly sharp whether it's tiny on an invitation or large on a welcome sign. Avoid low-resolution PNGs for print, since blurry edges make codes harder to scan. KoloQR exports vector files ready for your stationery designer or print shop.

It depends on where it goes. On invitations and save-the-dates, aim for at least 2 × 2 cm (about 0.8 in) with a small margin of blank space around it. On welcome signs and larger displays, size it up so guests can scan comfortably from a step or two away - a good rule is roughly a tenth of the scanning distance.

Only if you use a dynamic code, which points to a short link you can re-target later - useful if timing or venue notes change after invitations go out. A static code stores its destination permanently and can't be changed once printed. If details are still moving, a dynamic code or a stable wedding-website URL you control is the safer choice.

Static codes never expire - the data lives inside the code, so it keeps working as long as the destination still exists. The thing to watch is the destination: keep your wedding website or photo album online through the day and afterward, and the code will keep opening it.

Yes, it's free - no account or subscription - and no app is needed. Modern iPhone and Android cameras read QR codes directly, so any guest can scan your invitation or sign and open the page straight away.
