How does a wedding QR code work?

A guest scans the QR code

The phone camera recognises the code automatically. No app, no account — the link opens in the browser.

They add photos and videos

Guests pick photos from their phone or take new ones on the spot. Uploading takes seconds.

It lands in the live gallery

The couple sees the photos in real time — on a tablet at the table or on the venue TV screen.

Where should you put the QR code at a wedding?

The more touchpoints, the more photos you collect. Here is what works:

🎯 High-priority spots

  • ✓
    A frame on every table, guests see it all evening long. The single most effective spot.
  • ✓
    Welcome board at the entrance, guests see the code right at the start and know what to expect.
  • ✓
    Place cards at each setting, individual cards with a QR code and the guest’s name.

💡 Extra spots

  • ✓
    An insert in the invitation, guests add photos more readily when they know about the gallery before the wedding.
  • ✓
    The bar area, guests are queuing anyway and have a moment to scan.
  • ✓
    A text message after the wedding, send the gallery link the day after to everyone who did not get round to it.
