Where couples use them
Each of these is just a link, so any of them can become a code:
- Save-the-dates and invitations: your wedding website or RSVP form
- Welcome and table signs: a shared album where guests upload photos
- Programs: the order of service or a livestream for remote guests
- Thank-you cards: a photo gallery after the day
Invitations are printed months ahead
Details change between printing and the big day: a new RSVP deadline, a moved gallery, a different registry. If the destination might change, make it a dynamic code instead: it points at a short qrnever.com link you can re-aim later without reprinting. Dynamic codes are a one-time $9.99, with no subscription and no expiry.
Many wedding QR services work on a subscription, and codes stop working when it ends. That's a bad surprise when your invitations are in a keepsake box.
Printing tips
A few choices decide whether a code scans on the first try:
- Print at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide for close range, larger for posters (about one tenth of the scanning distance).
- Keep dark modules on a light background and leave the white margin around the code.
- Test the printed proof with both an iPhone and an Android camera before printing in bulk.
