On the right side of the dashboard, click “+CREATE.” Then choose “QR Codes.”

Choose the camping type as “Website” to create a QR Code with an existing URL.

📝Note:
You can use the seating chart link from your digital wedding seating planner if you use one. Or, you can upload images of your wedding seating chart on a cloud-based image gallery such as Google Photos, OneDrive, iCloud, etc., and use its URL to embed with the QR Code. If you’re using cloud-based tools, ensure the sharing settings are set for public viewing.

Step 2: Add the URL of the wedding seating chart

Copy and paste the URL of the wedding seating chart.

Step 3: Customize the seating chart QR Code 

You can customize the QR Code to suit your wedding theme. You can also customize the following elements of the QR Code:

1. Add a logo (picture or names of the couple)
2. Change the color of the QR Code pattern
3. Change the background (add a color or image or keep it transparent)
4. Change the eye and pattern design of the QR Code
5. Add a CTA such as “Scan for seating arrangements”

Step 4: Download the seating chart QR Code

Download the QR Code in the format of your choice based on your use case or the material you are printing on.

💡Pro tip:
If you want to place it on invitations without resizing, you can download it in JPG, PNG, or PDF. If you place it on a digital screen in the venue, you can download it in high-resolution SVG format, as it helps with resizing the QR Code as per the screen resolution.

Why choose dynamic QR Codes to share your wedding seating chart?

You can use a free, static QR Code to redirect your guests to the wedding seating chart, but its important to be aware of the limitations you may face:

1. You cannot edit the QR Code
2. You have minimal customization options 

With dynamic QR Codes, you get features that offer you a smoother experience—exactly what you want during a wedding. Here’s how:

1. Edit the wedding seating chart QR Code

Let’s assume you’ve already printed the seating chart QR Code, and you want to make last-minute changes to the seating arrangement. Simply edit the printed QR Code with the new URL in the backend. You don’t have to reprint QR Codes to convey these changes, making it easy to manage wedding seating charts.

2. Extensive wedding QR Code customizations

You can customize the QR Code to suit your wedding theme by adding the necessary colors. You can also insert a (logo couple’s initials or pictures) into the QR Code.

3. Save on printing costs

Instead of printing names or seating charts for every table, you can print a single QR Code that shows the entire seating chart. Guests can scan the QR Code and even save the seating chart on their phones to help them find their respective tables.

 4. Smooth experience for your wedding guests

Giving your guests a hassle-free experience is the core of any wedding. By digitizing seating chart information with a QR Code, you ensure a smoother guest experience.

Neither do they have to recheck the names on the tables, nor do you require a guide to lead them to their tables. QR Codes for a wedding seating chart thus allow a seamless event, with minimal to no host intervention required. 

Moreover, a plain black and white QR Code visually won’t cut any event, including weddings. If you want to ensure the QR Code suits your design needs and use features such as editability and more, dynamic QR Codes are worth a shot.
