How to Put a QR Code on Your Wedding Invitation (and Make Sure It Scans)

Introduction

Add a QR code to your printed wedding invitation that opens your wedding website and RSVP. Sizes, placement and a free printable QR card.

Printed invitations are back, but guests still want everything on their phone: the venue, the timings and a quick way to RSVP. A QR code bridges the two. Guests point their phone camera at the card, and your wedding website opens.

What a wedding QR code should open

Point the code at your wedding website, not a PDF or a photo. A website can show your story, every event with its own venue and Google Maps directions, and an online RSVP. And if a time or venue changes after printing, the code still works: it always opens the latest version of your website.

How to add a QR code with DreamWedds

Publish your DreamWedds wedding website.
Open QR Code in the website builder. You can also get there from My Themes or Share & Social.
Choose a design: Full Photo, Arch Window, Photo & Card or Simple. The photo designs use your social share image, and every design uses your template's colours.
Select Download image, or Print / Save as PDF for a PDF.
Print it as an insert card, or send the image to your printer or designer to place on the invitation.

The card is 4 × 6 inches at 300 dpi, with your names, your date, the QR code and your website link written out underneath. It's free with every published website. Make your QR card →

Tips so it always scans

Size: print the code at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) wide.
Background: keep a plain, light background around the code. Don't print it over a photo, pattern or foil.
Quiet space: leave a margin of white around the code. The DreamWedds card's white tile does this for you.
Contrast: dark code on a light background. Avoid gold-on-cream or pastel-on-white codes.
Test before you print: scan a proof with two different phones, one iPhone and one Android.
Write the link too: some guests prefer to type it.

Where to put it

On an RSVP or details insert card. This is the easiest option, and it keeps the invitation itself clean.
On the back of the invitation, with a line such as "Scan for our wedding website and RSVP".
On save-the-dates, so guests can bookmark your website early.
At the venue. A framed QR card at the welcome table helps guests find the schedule and the gallery.

What to write next to the code

"Scan for our wedding website, events and RSVP"
"RSVP by 1 March: scan the code or visit our website"
"All the details, one scan away"

Frequently asked questions

Will the QR code stop working?

No. The code holds your website address, so it keeps working while your website is online, and it always shows your latest details.

Can I use my own photo on the card?

Yes. The Full Photo, Arch Window and Photo & Card designs use your website's social share image: your own upload, your AI-designed image, or your chosen banner photo. Change it in Share & Social and the cards update.
