Practical wedding guide

How to print a wedding QR code that scans

A QR code can look perfect in the design file and fail after foil, texture, scaling or dim venue light changes it.

The short answer

Use dark modules on a light field, preserve the quiet zone, avoid reflective finishes and test the physical proof on several phones.

Do not crop the quiet zone

The empty border is part of the code’s readability. Decorative leaves, text or borders should not enter it.

Size for the real distance

A table card can be smaller because guests are close. A welcome sign must be substantially larger and should still be supplemented at tables.

Test the final artifact

Scan the printed piece in venue-like light from iPhone and Android devices. A PDF preview is not proof that paper works.
