For the couple who want the card to stay correct
Keep the card you paid for and let it point somewhere. A printed QR opens the venues, the timings, the dress note, and a reply button, so a detail that moves never has to move the printer.
A wedding card is lovely and completely inflexible. The moment it is printed, the information on it is frozen, so if a second venue appears, the arrival time shifts, or the parking changes, the cards already in hands are quietly wrong. You then carry the correction yourself, explaining over the phone what the paper should have said.
A small QR on that card lifts the burden without losing the keepsake. The card holds the stable facts and points at the changing ones. A guest scans it and opens the current version of the day, and if a detail moves next month, the card in the drawer reads correctly still, because the card never claimed to be the final word.
The card has one job: make it obvious the details live behind the QR. Keep the caption short and warm.
Marta and Tom, married the seventh of June. Scan to see the venues, the order of the day, and everything else worth knowing.
Please let us know you're coming by the first of May; the same page will ask, and hold a place for anyone with you.
Ceremony and reception with their addresses, timings, a dress-code note, directions and stay, the FAQ, and the reply button. These are the parts that move, so they live where they can be edited.
Names, the date, the town, and the small QR. Stable enough to commit to paper, short enough to leave the code room to scan cleanly.
The same guest list that took the replies can check people in, so the list you invited from is the list you greet from.
A QR that is too small or sits against a busy pattern is a decoration, not a doorway.
The reason to bother with the pairing is the editing, not the code. When a start time shifts by an hour, you change it on the page and every guest scanning a card from the spring reads the autumn truth. Until you publish, the site is a private draft, so a half-written line never surfaces under someone's scan; you decide exactly when the card's doorway opens onto a real invitation.
How it works
Put both venues, the timings, the dress note, and the FAQ on the site, and switch on replies so the same link collects the yeses.
Keep names, date, and town printed, and add one clear QR with a short caption that tells guests what opening it will show.
Send the cards with confidence. Anything that moves later is a small edit on the page, not a new print run.
The invitations that came back by scan and reply become the list you check names off on the day itself.
Questions
No. A phone camera opens the code straight into a browser, so there is nothing to install. The scan simply arrives at the invitation page.
The code points at the page, not at a frozen copy of it. You edit the details behind it and the same printed QR opens the current version, which is the whole point of pairing the two.
Yes. The site stays a draft until you publish, and you can also set a password so only the guests you tell can open it, keeping a rehearsal dinner or a surprise off public view.
Print the short link beside the code as a fallback, so anyone who would rather type can reach the same page and reply.
Both. The page it opens carries the full day and the reply button, so a scan leads to venues and timings and lets the guest confirm with a plus-one on your list.
Get Started
Print the names once, put a QR beside them, and keep every living detail on one invitation that reads correctly long after the ink dries.
