Where to put the QR code: 7 spots that work
Menus, place cards, the bathroom mirror. What really gets your guests scanning.
A QR code nobody notices is an activity that doesn’t exist. The good news: your guests have their phone in hand all evening. You just need to put the code where their eyes already land. Here are the 7 spots that work best.
On the table, where people get a little bored
The quiet moments (waiting between courses, the start of the meal) are perfect for scanning. Three unbeatable spots:
1. The menu. Everyone reads it at least once. A QR code at the bottom, with a simple line: “Scan me, take 10 photos of the evening”.
2. The place card. The very first thing your guest picks up when they sit down.
3. A table card in the centrepiece. Visible to all 8 guests at once.
Where people pass through
4. At the entrance or the cloakroom, on a sign: people are waiting, so it is the right moment.
5. At the bar. People wait for their drink, phone already in hand.
6. The bathroom mirror. Yes, really: a sticker with the QR code above the sink is one of the most scanned of the night.
And for the dance floor
7. A light-up sign near the DJ. That is where the best photos happen, late at night. A visual reminder there gets people shooting again at the right moment.
“We put the same QR code in five places. The result: 90% of the guests took part, even the grandparents.” Léa & Marius · May 2026
One last point: if your venue has poor reception, put the code where the signal works (see no signal at the venue). The secret is not ONE perfect spot, but repetition: the more the code is around, the more it becomes a reflex. With Time to Flash, you generate this QR code in 2 minutes and print it as many times as you like. For the poster itself, the wedding QR code poster generator gives you a customisable design, ready to print.
