How to create your wedding QR code

The code is not a separate step. It is born with the event and always points at the same entrance.

1. Create the wedding eventNames, date, guest count and how many photos each guest gets.
2. Open the invite cardThe card shows the event QR code, the link and the invite code in a polaroid layout with the couple’s names.
3. Download the QR as a PNGThe file comes out black and white, with the invite link and the code printed right under the square.
4. Print it at home or send it to the stationerIt is a high-contrast PNG, so it holds up on a home printer and in professional printing alike.

Where to put the code at the venue

The most common mistake is a single QR at the entrance that half the guests never see. Spread them out. One per table works best, because a guest scans it sitting down without leaving their seat.

Other spots that pay off: the welcome table next to the seating chart, the edge of the dance floor, the lounge area, and the mirror in the restroom, where people stand alone with their hands free. If there is a screen or LED wall, show the code between blocks of the party.

One more layer worth having: send the link in the guest group chat too. That covers whoever arrives late, whoever left their phone at the table, and whoever only remembers the camera near the end of the night.

What to write next to the code

The QR on its own does not convince anyone. Next to it, it has to be clear what happens when they scan, because a guest’s first worry is being asked to install something or sign up.

Three things settle it: that they are about to become a photographer of the party, that there is nothing to download, and that the photos only show up later. One short line each. Ready-made wording is on the table sign page.

Why the printed code carries the link underneath

Not every phone reads a QR from the native camera, venue lighting is usually low, and older handsets sometimes will not focus. When that happens with a bare QR on a wall, the guest gives up and nobody ever finds out.

That is why the PNG Memorah gives you carries the entrance address spelled out and the event code in bold right under the square. Anyone who could not scan types the address into a browser and joins with the code, without having to ask for help.

Remind guests during the party

Turnout goes up sharply when somebody says it out loud. Agree with the DJ or the MC on two or three prompts across the night: one just after the guests come in, one before dinner, and one when the dance floor opens.

If your plan allows it, save the extra photo release for the peak of the party. Guests get the alert on the camera itself, and that second wind tends to produce the best photos of the night.
