How to Create a Wedding QR Code Card

It's super easy to create a wedding postcard with a QR Code using WeddingPixie’s QR Code Builder Instead of chasing images through WhatsApp groups or social media after the wedding, guests scan, upload, and return to celebrating. You sit back and watch the photos roll in.

Your QR Code Is Generated Automatically

When you create a WeddingPixie account, a unique wedding QR code is automatically generated and linked directly to your upload page.

Unlike generic QR code generators, this code connects to a purpose-built wedding upload system. Each scan leads directly to your gallery. There are no redirects, no temporary links, and no third-party dependencies.

Step 1: Choose Your Format

Log into your WeddingPixie dashboard and select QR Code. Your unique code is already ready to use.

WeddingPixie provides multiple signage formats designed for different placements throughout your venue, including A1 posters, A4 and A5 table displays, A6 postcards, business cards, stickers, and leaflets.

For most couples, the A6 postcard offers the ideal balance of visibility and portability. A detailed comparison of formats is available in our signage sizes guide.

Step 2: Customise the Design

Select your preferred layout and customise the wording.

WeddingPixie uses a minimal black-and-white aesthetic to ensure clarity and high scan reliability. You can choose from several carefully selected fonts, adjust your call-to-action message, and include a small camera icon if desired.

The builder automatically maintains correct QR code sizing, spacing, and contrast. These technical safeguards ensure reliable scanning across different lighting conditions and phone cameras.

Step 3: Download a Print-Ready PDF

Once finalised, download your design as a high-resolution PDF.

If using a professional printing service, select the single-card export. If printing at home, choose the multi-card layout, which places several cards on one A4 sheet for trimming.

Many couples send the final PDF directly to their venue coordinator, who prints and positions the signage before guests arrive.

For best results, print on 250–350gsm matte cardstock. Strong black-on-white contrast ensures optimal scanning performance.

How a Wedding QR Code Works

A QR code encodes a web address. When scanned using a smartphone camera, it opens your dedicated upload page in the guest’s browser.

Guests select their photos or videos and upload them instantly. No app download or login is required. Removing these barriers significantly increases participation.

For guidance on positioning signage around your venue, see our QR code placement guide.

Test Before Printing

Before printing large quantities, scan the QR code from your screen and upload a test image. Confirm it appears in your gallery.

You may also share the upload link with close family or members of your bridal party in advance so they are familiar with the process.

Clear instructions and early familiarity often increase upload rates on the day.
