Over the last few years the QR code has become a standard part of wedding styling, roughly alongside the seating chart. The reason is practical: it is the only way to get eighty people across several generations to the same place in seconds, without typing addresses and without explanations.
But a code on its own does not work miracles. The difference between a flyer guests scan and one that sits untouched all evening comes down to a handful of details.
What the QR code actually does
The code takes a guest to the app download. After that the guest enters your wedding PIN, which grants access to the shared gallery. The PIN is what separates your wedding from every other one and keeps the photos private.
That is why both details belong on the flyer — the code and the PIN. A flyer carrying only the code leaves guests halfway there.
What a flyer people actually scan looks like
The flyer design and print-ready file come with every package, so this is not something you have to solve yourself. You tell us how many tables you have, we handle the rest.
- Short instructions in three steps. Scan, enter the PIN, take photos. Nothing more.
- The PIN printed in large, legible digits. Guests type it in a dimly lit room, often without their glasses.
- A code large enough. Below about two and a half centimeters per side, older devices start to struggle.
- Enough contrast. Dark code on a light background. Gold foil on white paper looks gorgeous and scans terribly.
- A line explaining why. Instead of a flat Scan the code, write Share your photos with the newlyweds.
Where to put the code
The most common mistake is a single flyer by the entrance. Guests walk past it while looking for their seat, at a moment when their mind is entirely elsewhere.
A better rule is to place the code where people linger and where they are reaching for their phone anyway.
- On every table, in a stand, upright — not lying flat under a plate.
- At the bar, where people wait and chat.
- By the dessert table and the cake, because that is where most photos happen.
- Next to the seating chart at the entrance, as a reminder in passing.
- In the photo corner, if you have one.
Three mistakes that cost hundreds of photos
The first is printing too few flyers. We recommend making several copies — the more visible they are, the more people will use the app.
The second is never mentioning the gallery out loud. One sentence from whoever is hosting, before dinner, lifts participation more than any design choice.
The third is forgetting about connectivity. If the signal in the room is weak, arrange wifi access and print the password next to the PIN.
