Where should I put the QR code on my wedding invitation?
+
The corner is the safe choice. Bottom right works best because it is easy for your eye to land on after reading the invitation details. Keep at least 4mm of white space around the QR code and pair it with a short call to action like Scan to RSVP or Scan for details.
What is the difference between a wedding hashtag and a wedding QR code?
+
A wedding hashtag is a phrase guests type into Instagram or TikTok that tags their posts to your wedding. A QR code is a scannable square that takes guests directly to a link. Hashtags rely on guests remembering to tag correctly and having a public social media account, while QR codes work for every guest on every phone. For the best results, pair them: use a wedding hashtag for social media and a QR code for direct photo uploads.
Do guests need to download an app to scan the QR code?
+
No. Every smartphone made in the last six years has a built in QR scanner in the camera app. Guests open their camera, point it at the code, and tap the notification that pops up. That is it. If any of your guests are on older phones, include the short URL as a backup below the QR code.
Can I add our wedding colors to the QR code?
+
Yes. Use the color controls in the generator to set the code and background to match your wedding palette. Keep the contrast strong: dark code on a light background scans best. The generator warns you if your combination is hard to scan.
How big should my wedding QR code be?
+
For a table sign or standing sign, at least 4 inches on each side. For a mini card at each place setting, 1.2 to 1.5 inches. For an invitation with the QR in the corner, 0.8 inches is the minimum. Smaller than that and older phones struggle to scan in low light.
What file format should I use for printing?
+
For a professional printer, download the SVG version. SVG is a vector file that scales to any size without losing quality, and print shops accept it. For at home printing or digital sharing, PNG works great. JPG is best for smaller file sizes when you are emailing the code.
Can I use this QR code with The Knot, Zola, Joy, Minted, or Squarespace?
+
Yes. Our generator works with any URL, so you can paste the link to your wedding website on any platform. The QR code will take guests straight to your RSVP page, photo upload page, or any other page you choose.
Will the QR code still work after my wedding?
+
Yes. The QR code we generate is static, which means it encodes your link directly into the image. As long as the URL it points to stays active, the QR code works forever. If you use Wedibox, your event stays live for a full year after the wedding, so you can keep collecting late photos.
Is this wedding QR code generator really free?
+
Yes. You can create, customize, and download unlimited QR codes for free. No signup, no email, no watermark, and your QR code never expires. If you want to link your QR code to a full photo sharing gallery, RSVP form, or guestbook, you can add a free Wedibox event in 60 seconds.
