Table cards
Best default for seated receptions. One QR per table, eye-level, with two lines of clear wording.
Wedding QR code signs
Wedding QR code signs guests actually notice.
Table cards, welcome easels, bar cards, and reception slides — with print sizes and placement that get scans. Pair every sign with clear wording and a live guest gallery.
Why signs matter
A QR without a sign is easy to miss.
Guests will not hunt for a tiny code in a programme footer. Wedding QR signs work when they sit at natural pause points, use high contrast, and explain the next step in two seconds. The product behind the QR matters — but display is what starts the scan.
Sign types
Pick one primary display, then one backup.
Welcome / easel signs
Catch cocktail hour before phones go away. Use a large code and a headline guests can read from a few steps away.
Bar and lounge cards
Natural pause points. Keep the CTA short: scan, shoot, share — no app needed.
Reception screens
One slide during speeches is enough. Pair with a single MC mention so the whole room hears it.
Print specs
Size and contrast that scan on the day.
Table card QR size
At least 3 cm / 1.2 in wide with a light quiet zone. Dark code on a white square scans best.
Welcome sign QR size
Scale with distance. If guests stand 1–2 meters away, go large and test from that distance.
Material
Prefer matte over heavy gloss under reception lights. Glare is the most common print failure.
Test before you print 100
Print one sample. Scan on iPhone and Android. Confirm it opens the guest gallery, then duplicate.

FAQ
Wedding QR sign questions
What is a wedding QR code sign?
It is printed or on-screen signage that displays a scannable QR code for collecting guest photos. The best signs include the QR plus clear wording so guests know what happens after they scan.
Where should wedding QR signs go?
Start with table cards for seated receptions, plus a welcome easel for cocktail hour. Add bar cards or a reception slide if the venue is large.
How big should the QR be on a wedding sign?
At least 3 cm / 1.2 in on table cards. Welcome signs need larger codes based on how far guests stand. Always test a printed sample.
What wording should be on the sign?
Use one action line and one reassurance, such as 'Scan to share your photos with us. No app. Just memories.' See the wedding QR sign wording page for ready-made packs.
Do I need a different QR for every sign?
Usually no. One gallery and one QR keeps the guest experience simple. Use separate codes only if you intentionally want separate galleries.
