All about the QR code for your wedding: how to make it, where to place it, and how guests upload photos and videos in one scan. Practical guide.

One QR code on the table, guests scan and upload photos and videos directly from their phones. In this guide: how to make it, where to place it, and mistakes to avoid.

## Why use a QR code at your wedding?

A QR code at your wedding is the fastest way to collect photos and videos from all your guests without the hassle of WhatsApp groups, hashtags, or shared folders. Guests scan with their camera app, open an upload page in the browser, and share their media in a few taps. No app installation, no account.

## Your own QR code in 5 steps

1. **Create your event** – Choose a name, date, and optionally a theme that fits your wedding. Takes less than a minute.
2. **Download your unique QR code** – Once your event is created, you get a unique QR code with a link to the upload page. Downloadable as PNG, PDF, or ready-made poster.
3. **Print on the right materials** – Print on sturdy cards (250 gsm), acrylic signs, or a large welcome panel. Size at least 3 cm × 3 cm for reliable scanning on tables.
4. **Distribute strategically** – Place multiple QR codes: on every table, at the entrance, by the bar, on the menu, and at photo moments like sparklers or the dance floor.
5. **Follow along during the party** – In your dashboard, you see what's coming in live. Optionally project a slideshow on a big screen to boost the atmosphere.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does the QR code work on every phone?

Yes. All smartphones from iOS 11 and Android 8 scan QR codes automatically with the camera app. A free QR scanner is available for older phones.

### Do guests need Wi-Fi?

Yes, mobile data or Wi-Fi. If your venue has poor reception, it's best to set up guest Wi-Fi. Uploads continue in the background if connection is lost.

### Can I use multiple QR codes?

Yes. All QR codes lead to the same event page. Feel free to spread them across tables, signs, and program booklets for more scans.

### What if someone uploads an inappropriate photo?

You can enable moderation (every photo waits for approval) or delete images afterwards. You always have full control.

### What happens to the QR code after the wedding?

The QR code remains active as long as your event is open. By default, the window stays open until 24 hours after; you can extend it or close it earlier.
