How To Create a QR Code for a Wedding Registry

Wedding registries are a boon for couples. They simplify communicating gift preferences to guests. And for guests, registries make selecting gifts that couples will love easy! 

But how you share the wedding registry link can make a huge difference, and here’s why: 

1. Typing registry URLs from paper invites is time-consuming and impractical
2. Guests can have trouble locating the registry link on your wedding landing page 
3. Identifying which gifts are already picked up—if you’re registered to multiple stores and outlets—is difficult from one registry for all guests 

Make it easy for your guests to access the wedding registry from touchpoints of your choice (emails, social media, direct mail, etc.) by creating wedding registry QR Codes. 

1. Directly link the QR Codes to your wedding registry and make it easy for guests to select the gifts at their convenience 
2. Create multiple wedding registry QR Codes and share them with different groups of guests to avoid gift duplication 

You can also customize your wedding registry QR Codes to match the design of your wedding theme.

How to create a QR Code for a wedding registry?

Here’s how to create a QR Code for a wedding registry (detailed description below)
1. Sign up and login to the Uniqode dashboard
2. Click “+Create”, and “QR Codes” and choose the campaign as Website
3. Insert the URL of the wedding registry
4. Customize the wedding registry QR Code

Step 1: Go to the Uniqode dashboard and click “+CREATE” 

After clicking +CREATE, click “QR Code” from the dropdown. 

Step 2: On the dashboard, select the campaign as “Website” 

You can link the wedding registry to your wedding landing page that contains other details of your wedding—and convert it into a QR Code. This is helpful for less tech-savvy people. 

Or, you can choose to directly link the QR Code to wedding registry websites such as MyRegistry! Doing so will give guests hassle-free access to your QR Codes. 

Step 3: Insert the URL of the wedding registry

Copy your wedding registry URL and paste it in the box provided. 

Step 4: Customize the wedding registry QR Code 

You can change the data patterns, eyes, and background, add frames, CTAs, and more to make the QR Code match the design of your wedding collateral.

Step 5: Test the QR Code and download

Your QR Code for the wedding registry is now ready. Download it in your required format for printing or sharing digitally.

Which QR Code format to choose for your wedding registry

Depending on how you plan to share your wedding invites, the format of the QR Code you generate can vary:

🖨️If you’re printing wedding invitation cards, we recommend using the PNG or JPG format. These formats are widely supported and work well for printed materials.

📱If you’re using registry QR Codes for digital invites, we suggest using the SVG format. This format is scalable, meaning you can resize it without losing quality, making it ideal for digital use.

To make the QR Codes reflect your wedding theme, you can also format the background using:

1. Solid color: You can choose a solid color fill for your QR Code background by selecting the “color” you wish to use using the color selector.
2. Gradient: You can use gradients for your QR Code to add a unique visual appeal to your QR Code.
3. Image: You can use an image as the QR Code’s background. This can be particularly useful if you want to match the QR Code with your wedding theme or include a picture representing the event.
4. Transparent background: You can create a QR Code with a transparent background if you want to place the QR Code over another image or design element.

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

You can create a static QR Code for your wedding registry. However, if you want to update the registry URL later, you must generate and print new ones. 

The unique advantage of dynamic QR Codes lies in their real-time update-ability. You can alter or add information as required without changing the original code—even if you’ve printed it. 

Even post-dispatching the invitations, you can keep your guests informed with current details. You cannot do the same with static QR Codes without reprinting and resending new ones.
