QR Codes for Weddings: Invitations, RSVP, and Registry
A wedding invitation has limited space and a printed RSVP card is easy to lose in the mail. A QR code solves both: guests scan once and land on your wedding website, RSVP form, or gift registry, no typing a URL from a card.
What to link to
Most couples use one QR code that points to a single wedding website containing everything below, rather than printing a separate code for each thing:
- ▸Wedding website — venue, schedule, dress code, travel and hotel info. This is the most common single destination.
- ▸RSVP form — a Google Form or form on your wedding site. Guests confirm attendance from their phone instead of mailing a card back.
- ▸Gift registry — if you want to separate registry from the main invitation, a second smaller code on a registry card works well.
Where to place the code
Three places cover most wedding stationery:
On the invitation itself
A small code in a corner or at the bottom, below a line like "Details & RSVP". Keep it at least 20mm so it scans reliably even if the card gets handled or slightly creased in the mail.
On a separate insert card
Common when the invitation design is already text-heavy. A dedicated insert with just the code and a short instruction ("Scan for details and to RSVP") keeps the main invitation clean.
At the venue
A larger printed code at the welcome table linking to the schedule or seating chart helps guests who misplaced their invitation or arrive without checking it beforehand.
Matching the code to your stationery design
A plain black square looks out of place on designed invitations. A few adjustments make it fit:
- ▸Use a dot style like Rounded or Classy Rounded instead of hard squares. It reads as decorative rather than technical.
- ▸Set the module color to match your invitation's ink color (navy, sage, burgundy) instead of default black, as long as it stays dark enough against the paper.
- ▸Keep the background transparent if your invitation paper has texture or color, so the code sits on the paper itself rather than a visible white box.
Before you send invitations to print
Test the exact code at the exact print size before the full print run goes out:
- Print one invitation at actual size on your home printer or get a single proof from your printer
- Scan it with two different phones in normal room lighting
- If the URL is long (a wedding site builder sometimes generates long slugs), shorten it before generating the code; shorter URLs scan more reliably at small print sizes
