Wedding QR code signs: what to write and where to put them
A QR code on every table is the simplest way to get guests onto one shared roll. Here is the wording that works, where the signs go, and how to print table cards for your own moment.
What the QR on a papershot card does
Every papershot moment comes with an invite card: a QR, a link, and an 8-character code, on a perforated ticket in your colours. Point a phone camera at the QR and it opens the moment's invite page; guests get the app if they need it, type a name, and they are on the roll. No account.
The QR carries the full link, starting with https, so every phone camera reads it as a website. If a phone will not scan, guests can open the link or type the code instead.
Wording that works
Keep it short. Guests read a table sign for two seconds, so say what to do and what they get.
- “Scan to get your disposable camera.”
- “Be our photographer: scan, shoot, and we will see it all tomorrow.”
- “Every photo from tonight, in one place. Scan to join.”
- “16 shots, one video, and one memo for us. Scan to start.”
- “No account needed. Scan with your phone camera.”
Where to put the cards
- One on every table, propped against the centrepiece.
- One at the bar, where people wait anyway.
- One by the guest book or the cake.
- One at the entrance, on the welcome sign.
- One in the order of service, for the ceremony.
Put cards where people pause. A sign by the door is read once by everyone; a card on the table is read by everyone all evening.
Print table cards for your moment
Type your moment's code below, or paste its invite link, and you get a sheet of your own invite card, four to a page: the name, the date, your colours, and the QR. Print at 100% and cut along the edges.

Type your moment's code, or paste its invite link, and print four cards to a page: the name, the date, your colours, and the QR.
Common mistakes
- A QR that is too small: keep it at least 3 cm across, and print on matte paper so it does not catch the light.
- Hiding the card: a sign behind the flowers is a sign nobody scans.
- Too much text: two lines beat a paragraph.
- Starting the moment late: if the roll starts after the guests arrive, the first scans meet a camera that is not open yet. Set the start before the doors open.
