5 Creative Ways to Display Your QR Code at Events
Your digital guestbook is only as good as your guests’ ability to access it. The QR code is the key to unlocking all those precious memories, so let’s make sure it’s displayed in creative and accessible ways!
1. Table Tent Cards
Place elegant table tent cards featuring your QR code at each guest table. This approach:
- Ensures every guest sees the QR code
- Provides something to do while waiting for food
- Can match your wedding or event theme
- Includes clear, simple instructions
Pro Tip: Add a fun message like “Snap, Share, and Celebrate with Us!“
2. Welcome Sign at the Entrance
Create a beautiful welcome sign near the entrance featuring:
- Your event name and date
- A large, prominent QR code
- Brief instructions (“Scan to share your photos!”)
- Decorative elements matching your theme
This catches guests as they arrive when they’re most likely to have their phones out.
3. Photo Booth Integration
If you have a photo booth, integrate your QR code:
- Display it on the photo booth backdrop
- Include it on the photo strip printouts
- Have a sign next to the booth
- Mention it in photo booth instructions
Guests are already in “photo mode” at the booth—perfect timing!
4. Place Cards and Favors
Get creative with place cards by:
- Adding a mini QR code to each place card
- Including the code on favor tags
- Creating custom coasters with the QR code
- Designing bookmarks with instructions
This ensures every single guest gets a personal reminder.
5. Interactive Digital Display
For tech-savvy events, consider:
- A tablet or screen near the entrance showing recent uploads
- Rotating QR code displays throughout the venue
- Integration with your event app
- Live photo feed showing submitted photos
This creates excitement and encourages more participation!
Design Tips
Whatever display method you choose, remember:
- Make it BIG: QR codes should be at least 2x2 inches for easy scanning
- High Contrast: Black on white works best
- Clear Space: Leave white space around the code
- Test First: Scan from different distances to ensure it works
- Add Instructions: Simple text like “Point your camera here”
Bonus Ideas
- Create custom Instagram-style frames with your QR code
- Use acrylic signs for a modern, elegant look
- Design wooden signs for rustic events
- Print on napkins or cocktail stirrers
- Project onto a wall or screen
The key is making your QR code impossible to miss while keeping it aesthetically pleasing and on-brand with your event.
Remember: The more creative and accessible your QR code displays are, the more memories you’ll collect. Don’t be afraid to use multiple display methods throughout your venue!
