Wedding and event QR codes: from invitation to photo album

Invitations are printed months in advance. With a dynamic QR code, the same code takes your guests to whatever they need at each stage.

The problem with QR codes on invitations

Invitations for a wedding, conference or party are designed and printed months ahead. With a regular QR code:

  • It always leads to the same place, even though what guests need changes over time.
  • If you change the form, the website or the venue, the printed code is wrong.
  • Many "free" generators switch the QR code off when the trial ends, right before the big day.

One QR code for the whole event

With QR Boost the QR code points to your short link and you decide where it leads at each stage:

When Where the QR code leads
Weeks before RSVP form (for example, Google Forms)
On the day Schedule, menu or directions
Afterwards Shared album to upload and view photos (for example, Google Photos)
Once it's no longer needed Fallback destination or a "not available" notice

Changing the destination takes seconds from My QR codes and applies instantly to every invitation, poster and table card. And the QR code never expires: you can come back to it in ten years.

How to set it up, step by step

  1. Get your first destination ready: your RSVP form or the event website.
  2. Open the editor, choose the Link type and paste that address.
  3. In Expiry, leave it always active or set an end date with a fallback destination (for example, the photo album or your website).
  4. In Design, use your invitation colours, add a "Please RSVP" or "Our photos" frame and, if you like, your initials as the logo.
  5. Create your account, download the QR code as SVG or PDF and send it to whoever is designing the invitation.
  6. When each stage arrives, go to My QR codes and change the destination.

Automate a switch

  • End date with a fallback destination: at the date and time you choose, the QR code stops going to the main destination and switches to the fallback. That gives you one automatic switch, for example from the RSVP form to the photo album.
  • Day and time rule: in Destinations you can send the QR code somewhere else during a set slot (for example, Saturday from 12:00 to 23:59 to the wedding schedule). Bear in mind that the rule repeats every week, so remove it after the event.
  • Language rule: if guests are coming from abroad, those whose phone is set to another language can go to a translated version.

Practical tips

  • Test it in print: ask for a printer's proof and scan it with several phones.
  • Minimum size: about 2 × 2 cm on invitations; larger on posters read from a distance.
  • Good contrast: if your invitation is dark, place the QR code on a light panel.
  • Add a line of text: "Scan me to RSVP" avoids confusion for less tech-savvy guests.
  • Share the short link on WhatsApp with anyone who doesn't have the invitation to hand.
  • Check the stats to see how many people have opened it and from which countries.

FAQ

Can I change where the QR code leads after the invitations are printed?

Yes, as often as you like. The change applies instantly to every invitation.

Does QR Boost host the wedding photos?

No. The QR code links to a shared album you create in another service, such as Google Photos, and you can change the link at any time.

Will the QR code stop working after the event?

No, unless you set an end date yourself. Your QR codes never expire.

Can it switch destination on its own?

Yes, once: with an end date and a fallback destination. For the other stages, change the destination by hand in seconds.
