Wedding QR code: how to make and place it
A wedding QR code is the fastest way for your guests to send photos into a single gallery. Below we walk through creating, printing, and placing it — including which service handles it best.
What you need for a wedding QR code
A real wedding QR code needs three things: a destination for the photos (a private gallery), a nicely printed table card, and short instructions for guests.
- A private gallery where guests upload photos.
- A print-ready PDF QR code (300 gsm paper).
- A short prompt: “Scan and share your photos.”
How to create a wedding QR code in 5 steps
The process with Guestcam takes under 2 minutes and asks for no credit card:
- 1. Open guestcam.si and click “Create gallery”.
- 2. Enter the couple's names (e.g. “Anna and Marko”) and the wedding date.
- 3. Download the QR code (PDF with 8 elegant templates).
- 4. Print the table cards — A6 recommended.
- 5. Put one card on every table. That's it.
Where to place the QR code for maximum uptake
From analysing hundreds of weddings, three locations at once work best — more touchpoints raise the share of guests who actually upload:
- On every table (central, visible to all).
- At the entrance — a large card or poster.
- On the back of the menu or invitation.
What to write next to the QR code
A short prompt that tells guests exactly what to do:
“Scan the QR code and share your photos with us. Everything arrives in full quality — no app required.”
FAQ
Is a wedding QR code free?
With Guestcam the basic plan is free — up to 20 photos. For a full evening we recommend Plus (€49) or Premium (€99).
Who can see photos that guests upload?
Only you (the organiser) and people who have the direct gallery link. The gallery is never publicly indexed and does not appear in Google.
How long do the photos stay available?
Depending on the plan — from 30 days (free) up to 2 years (Premium). You can download all photos as a ZIP at any time.
