QR Code at Wedding - 10 Creative Ideas
QR code at weddings is the modern trend! Collecting guest photos is just the beginning. Check out 10 creative ways to use QR codes at your wedding - from menu to music requests.
Create QR codes in Weddie1. Shared Photo Gallery via QR Code (must-have!)
This is the absolute essential use of QR code at weddings. Guests scan, the wedding gallery opens, they upload photos and videos from their phone. Everything lands in one place.
Why it works:
- Zero apps to download - guests just scan and upload
- Much better quality than WhatsApp
- You'll collect an average of 600-800 photos at your wedding
- Guests can see others' photos too - builds atmosphere
2. Digital Wedding Menu via QR
No more printing 100 paper menus! Digital wedding menu via QR code means:
- Savings - no printing costs
- Flexibility - you can change the menu the day before
- Eco-friendly - zero paper waste
- Convenience - guests always have the menu handy
Bonus: You can add allergen information for each dish!
3. Wedding Timeline for Guests
How many times do you hear at weddings: 'What time is the cake?', 'When's the bouquet toss?'? With a wedding timeline via QR, guests know everything:
- 5:00 PM - Ceremony
- 6:00 PM - Photo session, guests: welcome drinks
- 7:00 PM - First dance
- 8:00 PM - Dinner
- 11:00 PM - Cake cutting and bouquet toss
4. Music Requests for the DJ
Instead of paper slips with song requests that the DJ loses, music requests via QR code!
How it works:
- Guest scans QR
- Types in the song title they want to hear
- DJ sees all requests in a list on their phone/laptop
- Can check off which ones they've played
Benefits for you: You can block certain songs before the wedding (ones you absolutely don't want!) 😄
5. RSVP and Attendance Confirmation
QR code on wedding invitation is the modern way to collect responses:
- Guest scans code from invitation
- Fills out form: number of people, dietary preferences, allergies
- You see everything in the dashboard - no manual note-taking
- Guest responds when convenient (no need to catch them by phone)
- Everything in one place
- Automatically know how many vegetarians, how many kids, how many with allergies
6. Directions to the Wedding
Instead of describing how to get there, QR code with Google Maps link:
- One code for ceremony location (church/courthouse)
- Second code for reception venue (if different)
- On the wedding invitation
- On the wedding website
- In a pre-wedding SMS
7. Digital Guest Book with Wishes
Traditional guest book is a nice keepsake, but the digital version via QR has advantages:
- Guests can write longer wishes (not limited by space)
- Can add a photo to their message
- Shy guests find it easier to write than speak
- Everything collected digitally - you can print as an album
8. Wedding Hashtag and Social Media
If you want a wedding hashtag on Instagram, QR code makes it easy:
- QR leads to a page with the hashtag
- Guest copies hashtag with one click
- Opens Instagram and pastes
Note: Hashtag is an addition, not a replacement for a wedding gallery! Instagram compresses photos and they're public. For your real photo collection, use the Weddie gallery.
9. Wedding Registry via QR
Instead of 5 toasters and 3 kettles, QR code to gift registry:
- Link to Amazon/Target registry
- Account number for honeymoon fund contributions
- Link to crowdfunding for specific goal (house, car)
10. Practical Information for Guests
One QR code - all needed information:
- Dress code and what to wear
- Where to leave gifts
- Wedding party contact for questions
- Hotel info for out-of-town guests
- Brief day schedule
In Weddie: You can create a complete wedding page with all this information - guests scan one code and have access to everything!
Common Questions About QR Codes at Weddings
Yes! In Weddie, one QR code gives access to everything - photo gallery, menu, timeline, music requests. Guest scans once and has access to all features you've enabled.
In Weddie, you download the QR code as an image (PNG) and add it to your Canva or other design software project. We also have ready-to-print card templates you can download immediately and take to a print shop.
Scanning a QR code requires internet (guests open a webpage). But most wedding venues have WiFi, and if not - guests can use mobile data. Weddie is optimized to work even with slower connections.
In Weddie, all features (gallery, menu, timeline, music) are included in the package. The basic package is $54 for the entire wedding - no hidden fees, no scan limits.
Yes! QR scanning is now a standard feature in every smartphone - just open the camera. To be safe, ask your wedding party to help older guests with their first scan. After one time, they know how it works.
