QR codes for wedding invitations
Invitations go out months ahead, and something always changes between the print run and the day: the timings, the shuttle, the registry, occasionally the venue.

The details change after the invitations post
A dynamic code on the invitation means the wedding website, RSVP form, gift list, directions and running order can all be updated without reprinting or emailing an erratum to 120 people.
On the day itself, re-point the same code at the order of service or the photo upload album. Guests who kept the invitation get the right thing at the right time.
Keep the design calm
Invitation stock is often textured, coloured or foiled — all of which fight the scanner. Plain dark code on a light panel, with clear space around it, is worth more than a clever integrated design that half your guests can't scan.
Printing checklist
- Test on textured or coloured stock before the full run.
- Keep the quiet zone clear of flourishes and borders.
- Foil and letterpress can break scanning — get a sample first.
- Label it: 'Scan to RSVP'. Not every guest will guess.
- Include the URL in text as well, for guests who won't scan anything.
Want to change it after it's printed?
That's what a dynamic code is for. The printed image never changes; where it sends people does — and every scan gets counted so you know whether it's working.

Can I reuse the same code on the day?
Yes. Re-point it from the RSVP page to the order of service, then to a photo album afterwards. One printed code, three jobs.
What if the venue changes?
Re-point the code at a page with the new details. The printed invitation is wrong, but the code in everyone's hands is right.
