QR codes can be strategically placed throughout your venue to enrich the guest experience. Place codes on cocktail tables that link to fun quizzes or trivia about your love story. You can even create a scavenger hunt using QR codes hidden around the venue, adding an element of competition and exploration.
2. Personalize & Add Interactive Touches:
QR codes can be customized to match your wedding theme. Design them with floral patterns, geometric shapes, or your wedding monogram. Use codes to link to your love story timeline, a slideshow of pre-wedding photos, or even a guest book where friends and family can leave digital messages and well wishes. These interactive elements make your wedding more engaging and make guests feel genuinely involved in your special day.
3. Provides for a Streamline of Money and Photos:
Whether your guests scan the QR code to donate to your honeymoon fund or your future fund or provide you with the candids they took from your wedding, all the money and pictures will be organized in one convenient place.
4. Go Green and Save Some Green:
QR codes can help reduce paper use for programs, seating charts, menus, and drinks. You'll save on printing costs and paper waste, making your celebration a little kinder to the planet. Plus, you can update information online in real time, eliminating the need for last-minute reprints.
