Where to Place Your Wedding QR Code

On every table — Use a small tabletop sign or custom coaster. This is usually the most effective placement.
At the reception entrance — Use a large sign so guests see it as soon as they arrive.
At the photo booth — If you have a photo area, place the QR code right next to it.
On the menus — Add it discreetly to the bottom of each guest's menu.
On your wedding website or invitation insert — Perfect for guests who want to start sharing photos before the wedding day.
Near the restrooms — A spot where guests have a moment to notice it — often a surprisingly effective placement.
