QR codes for weddings and events
In your colours, with your monogram in the middle, for £1. Sharp enough for an order of service and still working on your tenth anniversary.
This small business supports a young family in the Scottish Highlands working in nature conservation.
A real example: an order of service

Scan for the photo album

The same monogram from the invitations sits in the middle of the code, in the same colour as the rest of the stationery. Guests scan it to reach the shared album.
It is a real code, generated by the same code path that fulfils a paid order and checked to decode before it was published. Point a phone at it and it opens this page.
- Still works on the album a decade later, when the wedding website has long since lapsed.
- One code per table plan, RSVP page or gift list — a pack of 10 covers most weddings.
- Supplied as SVG as well as PNG, which is what a stationer or printer will ask for.
Try it — this code really scans
What people put them on
Shared photo albums
A code on each table pointing at a shared album, so guests upload their photos instead of losing them.
RSVP and wedding websites
On the save-the-date, so replies come to a page rather than by text at midnight.
Orders of service
Link to readings, hymn words, or a page about the people being remembered.
Table plans and place cards
One code per table, generated in a single batch from your list.
Gift lists and honeymoon funds
Rather than printing a long registry URL nobody will type correctly.
Conference and festival passes
Schedules, venue maps, speaker notes — a code per session or per venue.
Making it look like it belongs
A QR code doesn't have to be a black square that ruins your stationery. Pick the code colour and background to match your palette, and drop your monogram or crest in the middle — the preview above updates as you go.
Two things worth knowing. First, contrast matters more than anything: a dark code on a pale background scans easily, while two mid-tones — sage on blush, say — often won't scan at all. Keep the code clearly darker than its background. Second, we get the SVG right for print, so your stationer can scale it to any size without it going fuzzy.
If your palette is subtle, try it on the preview first, then print one and scan it before ordering the full set.
Doing a whole set at once
Table plans and multi-venue events are much easier in bulk. Paste one destination per line with a label —
Table 1 — Hebrides | https://photos.example.com/t1
Table 2 — Skye | https://photos.example.com/t2
Table 3 — Iona | https://photos.example.com/t3
— and you'll get back table-1-hebrides.png and
.svg for each, plus a PDF contact sheet showing every code
with its label, so you can check the lot before they go to the printer.
10 codes for £8, 25 for £15, 50 for £25. Start a bulk order.
Why these won't expire
Wedding stationery gets kept. Guests find an order of service in a drawer years later and scan it out of curiosity — and with most QR services, nothing happens, because the subscription behind it lapsed long ago.
Our codes have your address written into the pattern itself, so there is no subscription and nothing to expire. As long as the photo album still exists, the code still opens it. Why that is.
Worth pairing with the trick from that page: point the code at a page on your own site and you can move the album between services later without reprinting anything.
