For couples printing cards
RSVP QR code for wedding invitations you print
Keep the paper invitations you love. Add one QR code that opens your online invitation, so guests reply from their phone and every answer lands in one live dashboard. No stamps, no subscription.
How to create a QR code for your wedding RSVP
No separate generator or form to wire up: the code comes with your invitation.
- Build your invitation.Choose a design from our digital wedding invitations and add your events, times and venue (type the venue name and city, or paste a Google Maps link). Add the questions you want answered, such as dietary needs.
- Download your QR code and send it to your printer.Once your invitation is published, download its RSVP QR code from your dashboard. We don't print cards, so the code goes into your printer's design file. For size and print checks, see our guide to QR code placement and printing tips for wedding invitations.
- Guests scan and reply.A phone camera on the code opens the invitation. Guests read the details and answer right there, on whatever device they hold.
- Approve and track.Replies that come in through the printed code wait for your review, then count in your live RSVP dashboard.
What guests see when they scan
The code opens the same invitation your online guests receive as a link, with everything that doesn't fit on a card: event times, the venue on a map, a countdown, add to calendar and contact buttons you label yourself.
The reply form sits inside the invitation, so there is no second link to find. With more than one event, guests answer for each separately.
One thing to know before you print: the code on your cards is shared. One code covers the whole print run, which keeps design and printing simple. The trade-off is that a scan cannot tell who is holding the card. So guests who reply through the printed code type their name and mobile number, and their replies count only once you approve them against your guest list. Nobody slips onto your head count unseen.
Paper plus digital: personal links for some, the printed code for the rest
Most guest lists are mixed: some guests are a WhatsApp message away, others expect an envelope. One invitation handles both.
- Guests you can message get a personal link. Each one has their own link with their name on it, sent from your own WhatsApp, one chat per guest. The preview card shows their name, and when they tap through, the reply page already knows who they are. One link covers every event that guest is invited to, and you can see who has opened theirs. See how WhatsApp delivery works.
- Everyone else gets paper with the code. Grandparents and anyone who deserves a keepsake card scan and reply the same way.
Both routes feed one dashboard, so there is no stack of reply cards to reconcile before the caterer needs numbers.
What you see in the dashboard
Every reply, linked or scanned, lands in one place:
- Who is coming, who has declined and who has not answered yet, with filters for each.
- Attendance for every event, so the reception count and the ceremony count stay separate.
- Dietary notes and answers to your own questions, attached to each guest.
- Scanned replies waiting for your approval, kept apart until you confirm them.
- Your guest list tagged by side and group, ready to export as a CSV for the caterer or the venue.
You also choose whether replies close on your reply-by date or stay open. And if a time or venue detail changes after the cards are printed, update the invitation once and every guest who scans sees the latest version.
Is an RSVP QR code free?
The square itself is just a picture of a web address, and plenty of tools will make one for free. What matters is the page it opens and where the replies go.
On Link Invitation, building your invitation and previewing it is free on Essential, with no card on file. When you are ready to send it, you pay once: US$29 on Essential, where you build it yourself. Excellence is US$99 and we design it for you. Both are one-time payments with unlimited guests and no subscription.
Frequently asked
Questions
Anything not here, message us on WhatsApp and we will answer it.
How do I create a QR code for my wedding RSVP?
Build your invitation on Link Invitation, add your events and the questions you want answered, then download the QR code that comes with it. Send that code to your printer with your card design. When guests scan it, the invitation opens with the reply form inside, and their answers land in your live RSVP dashboard.
Does each guest get their own QR code?
No. The printed code is shared: one code for the whole print run, and a scan does not identify the guest. That keeps printing simple. Replies from the code wait for your approval before they count. Guests you send a personal link by WhatsApp get a reply page that already knows who they are.
Can I make an RSVP QR code for free?
You can build and preview your invitation on Essential for free, with no card on file. When you are ready to send it, you pay a one-time $29 on Essential, where you build it yourself. There is no subscription and no per-guest fee, and every guest on your list is included.
Do guests need an app to scan the code?
No. Most phones scan QR codes straight from the camera. Guests point the camera at the card, tap the link that appears and the invitation opens in their browser, where they reply. For guests who would rather not scan, print the reply-by date and a family contact number on the card.
What if our plans change after the invitations are printed?
Edit the invitation and every guest who scans sees the update, whether it is a new start time, a venue note or a dress code. The code keeps opening the same page, so keep your invitation's link name fixed once the cards are printed. A date change on paper still needs a separate notice.
Can someone who isn't invited reply through the code?
Anyone holding a card can open the invitation, which is why replies from the printed code count only after you approve them. Each one arrives with the name and mobile number the guest typed, so you can check it against your guest list. Guests with a personal link reply under their own name and within the number of places you gave them.
