How to create a wedding invitation QR Code?

Of several use cases, let’s consider linking the QR Code on your invitation card or e-invite to your wedding website.

1: Copy the URL from the wedding website

This is in case you have a wedding website you want to lead your invitees to. You can also book a calendar event and insert that link for invitees to scan and RSVP, or embed the location of your venue in the wedding invitation QR Code. 

2: Go to the Beaconstac dashboard and click “+Create” 

If you have not created an account, create one for a 14-day free trial.

3: On the dashboard, select the campaign as “Website” 

Choose the campaign based on the type of content you would want invitees to access. For this example, we’re considering a personalized wedding website.

4: Insert the wedding website URL in the provided box 

5: Customize the wedding invitation QR Code

You can:

1. Change the data patterns
2. Shape of QR Code
3. Eye pattern and placement 
4. Add an image or transparent background
5. Add frames, CTAs, and more. 

Given the options on the Beaconstac dashboard, you can customize it as per your wedding theme.

6: Test and download the wedding invitation QR Code

Your QR Codes for the wedding invitation are now ready. Download it in your required format for printing on a physical card or sharing on an e-card digitally.

Static or dynamic: picking the correct QR Code for your wedding invitation

You can use static QR Codes for an exhaustible, one-time use case, but they have a flaw: If you make a mistake, you can’t fix it in the same QR Code. 

You also cannot make last-minute changes to the program, menu, venue, or accommodation details in the same QR Code. 

In contrast, using a dynamic QR Code on your wedding invite adds flexibility, convenience, engagement, and tracking capabilities.

This can save you from stress and enhance the experience for your guests: 

1. You can track scans

You can track how many guests have scanned the dynamic invitation QR Codes. This can help keep a tab on who has received and viewed your invitation and who has not or is yet to. 

You can make critical event management decisions based on analytics to save time and money.

2. Engage your guests

Dynamic QR Codes add an interactive element to your invitations and can help to engage your guests. 

For example, you could create an RSVP QR Code for the invitation and link it to a page where guests can RSVP and leave messages for the bride and bridegroom. 

You can also link the code to a video message from the couple or link it to the wedding playlist to add song requests from guests!

3. Edit QR Code destination 

You can change the destination URL in dynamic QR Codes to change the information or URL even after they have been printed. 

For example, if you want to change any details about your wedding program on your website, you can update the information without having to recreate the QR Code and reprint your invitations, saving you costs and time.

4. Give guests access to information easily

Including a dynamic QR Code on your invitation makes it easy for guests to access all the information they need about your wedding. 

Design the QR Codes to suit the aesthetics of the wedding. With a quick scan, guests can visit the wedding website for details about the venue, menu, accommodations, etc.
