How To Collect Addresses for Weddings With QR Codes

‍

Wedding planning is a stressful undertaking, especially when it includes time-consuming tasks like sending invitations and collecting RSVPs. Collecting the correct addresses for all your guests in a timely and efficient manner can be a big headache, and can often involve lots of unnecessary back and forth over email or text. 

What if you could automate this process with a simple solution? QR codes are the perfect tool for you. 

QR codes have become increasingly popular for businesses and are now a great tool for personal use such as event planning. Here are a few benefits of using QR codes for this step of your wedding planning process: 

• Wedding QR codes are easily embeddable in any digital or print format. Simply create your own unique QR code and add it to whichever method you’d like to collect contacts: text, email, printed at a venue, etc.

• The seamless and quick process of scanning to enter information means you reduce the risk of people forgetting to respond and get responses on time and without follow-ups. 

• Collect all your information in one place. By adding a form to your QR code you can ensure you collect addresses easily in one spreadsheet to stay organized. 

• They’re quick to make and easy to use. Creating a custom QR code allows you to create an inventive and creative solution in just a few minutes. 

Perhaps the best part of creating a wedding QR code is that you can get started for free. Head to Flowcode’s QR code generator and select colors, shapes, and even upload a wedding logo if you have one! 

How to share your wedding QR code

Here are some cool ways to send your QR code out into the world to start getting responses. The beauty of QR codes for weddings 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. This eliminates any transfer errors, forgetting addresses, and lots of copy and pasting. 

1. Place your QR code on your wedding website homepage

If you’ve already gotten started on your wedding website, simply create a QR code to match your wedding theme and colors and place it prominently on your website homepage. You can also add a short message or instruction to encourage your guests to scan the code and access your wedding information.

2. Share your QR code 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. 

3. Share your QR code via 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. 

4. Share your QR code 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. 

5. Share it at a physical event or location 

This one’s easy. If all your attendees share a common space or will be attending a similar event, place a QR code in the space to quickly and passively get responses. 

How to collect and organize addresses from your QR code

Now that you’ve figured out how you’ll get guests to scan your QR code, you need to settle on a collection method to store this information. Here are three excellent ways to collect addresses from your QR code for your wedding and have them easily organized:

1. Link to a Flowpage

The beauty of working with Flowcode is that our platform also allows you to create forms quickly and easily with our companion product. Flowpage is a mobile-first landing page that allows you to collect information from your guests with just a few clicks. It's fully customizable and easy to use. 

You can create a beautiful and engaging page that showcases your wedding details, photos, social media links, and more.

To collect addresses, create a Flowpage and use the ‘Contact Collection’ widget, and select ‘Name,’ ‘Address’, and other relevant information. All this information will populate in the Flowcode platform. 

2. Link to another general form response platform

Form response platforms like Typeform, Google Forms, or Survey Monkey are also wonderful for collecting addresses for weddings. You can link your wedding QRs to online forms that ask your guests to fill out their addresses and any other details. 

3. Link to a popular wedding response platform

Another way to collect addresses for weddings is by using a wedding response platform like Minted, The Knot, Zola, or WeddingWire. These platforms offer all the wedding-related bells and whistles like online invitations, RSVP management, guest list tracking, and registry creation. You can use their address collection feature, which will prompt your guests to enter their mailing addresses when they RSVP online.
