How to Add a QR Code to Wedding Table Cards
Posted 2026-03-19
Table cards are the highest-converting spot for QR code placement at weddings. Guests sit at their table for 1–2 hours during dinner—giving them plenty of time to notice, scan, and upload.
Here's how to design perfect QR code table cards.
📐 Design Specifications
- QR code size: Minimum 1.5 × 1.5 inches (2 inches is ideal)
- Card size: Standard tent card: 4 × 6 inches folded, or 3.5 × 5 flat
- Card stock: 100lb+ matte for durability and scan-friendliness
- Contrast: Dark QR code on light background (never reverse)
- Margin: Leave at least 0.25 inches of white space around the QR code
🎨 Step-by-Step Design in Canva
- Open Canva and search for "table tent card" or create a custom 4×6 design
- Add your wedding colors, fonts, and any decorative elements
- Upload your QR code image (generated at WeddingQR.codes)
- Place the QR code prominently—center or right side
- Add your call-to-action text below or beside the code
- Download as high-res PDF for printing
✍️ Wording Examples
- "Snap a pic? Share it with us! Scan to upload 📸"
- "Help us capture the night — scan to share your photos"
- "Your photos, our memories. Scan here!"
- "See something special? We want to see it too!"
Keep it to one short line. Warm, friendly, action-oriented.
🖨️ Printing Options
Print at home:
- Use a laser printer for crisp QR codes
- Matte cardstock from Amazon or a craft store
- Score and fold tent cards with a bone folder
Professional printing:
- Upload to Vistaprint, Moo, or a local print shop
- Order 5–10 extras as backups
- Typical cost: $0.30–0.80 per card
💡 Pro Tips
- Print a test card first and scan from 2 feet away to verify it works
- Match the design to your other table elements (menus, place cards, programs)
- One per table is enough—place it where the centerpiece doesn't block it
- Add a small icon (camera emoji or photo icon) to draw the eye
