The simple version
“Share your memories of our wedding. Scan this QR code, choose your photos and add them to our album. Thank you for letting us see the day through your eyes!” Add below the code: “No guest account required · Uploads need an Internet connection.” Only use that wording if it accurately describes your chosen service.
The surprise album version
“Your perspectives, tomorrow’s surprise. Add photos from the day to our album: scan, choose, upload. We will discover the memories together after tomorrow’s reveal.” Include an exact date or time if you have chosen one. Check that scheduled reveal is enabled before printing that promise.
The photo mission version
“Help us capture the celebration! A smile, a decoration detail, a moment on the dance floor… Scan this QR code to find our photo missions and share your pictures. Join in at your own pace; spontaneous memories are welcome too.” Keep instructions short on the card and put the mission list on the participation page.
Details worth including
A lovely card should also answer practical questions. Keep dates and instructions consistent on the card, in the album and in your follow-up message.
- The couple’s names and album title
- The action you want: upload photos
- The QR code and a readable written link
- The submission deadline, if there is one
- The reveal time and intended album audience
Make sure the card actually scans
Use a dark QR code on a light background without decoration over it. Leave space around it and avoid glossy reflections. There is no perfect size for every situation: test a full-size print with several phones at the intended distance and lighting. Check that it opens the right album, not a screenshot or an administration page.
Where should you display it?
Choose a few visible places: a welcome table, beside the guest book or on dinner tables. Avoid asking people to scan during the ceremony. A brief explanation by someone in the wedding party can help more than lots of posters. If you use a PIN, decide how to share it only with the intended guests.
Prepare your card in PicPeers
The event sharing kit lets you personalise a card containing the project’s QR code. Make a sample, check the details and test scanning before printing more copies. PicPeers is in private beta; request access to try the flow with your event. Images on this website are illustrations, not album QR codes to reuse.
