The beauty of QR codes for wedding invitations is that whichever outreach method you choose with your guests, you can ensure that all your responses are collected and stored in the same place.

Place on Your Wedding Website

Place your QR code on the homepage of your wedding website to collect addresses.

You can also add a short message or instruction to encourage your guests to scan the code and access your wedding information.

Share via Email

Include your QR code in your announcement or save-the-date email and prompt your guests to share their address information for a formal invitation to follow.

Share through Messaging Apps

For a more personal or casual touch, you can spread your QR code on messaging apps like iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, or Messenger. This way instead of individually saving each address during your outreach, all the addresses will be collected in the same spreadsheet.

Share on Social Media

You can post your QR code as a photo or a video and use hashtags or captions to invite your followers to scan it and join your wedding celebration. Maybe not all your followers are being invited, so you could always explore making a private account for your special day as a way to share information and updates.
