# Wedding QR Code Sign Ideas: What to Write and Where to Put It

> Wording ideas, placement tips, and design tips for a wedding QR code sign that gets guests sharing photos, plus how to make one with Dispo88.

A QR code sign is the easiest way to get photos from every wedding guest. They scan it, a camera opens on their phone, and everything they shoot goes into one album. But a sign only works if people notice it and know what it's for. Here's how to get both right.

## What to write on the sign

Keep it short. People read signs at a glance, usually with a drink in hand. Say what to do and why it's fun.

A few headline ideas:

- **"Be our wedding photographer 📸"**
- **"Capture the night for us"**
- **"Scan, shoot, see it tomorrow"**
- **"Our disposable camera is your phone"**
- **"Help us see the day through your eyes"**

And a line underneath:

- "Scan to take photos — no app needed."
- "Photos develop an hour after you take them."
- "Every shot lands in our album."

If you're using a password, put it right on the sign, like "Password: ourwedding". Guests enter it before they can shoot.

## Where to put the signs

One big sign by the entrance is easy to miss. A few smaller ones where people already pause work much better:

- **On every table**, in a small frame or stand
- **At the bar**, where people wait with a free hand
- **By the guest book or card box**
- **Near the dance floor**
- **On the dessert table**

Small and frequent beats big and once.

## Design tips

- **Make the code big enough to scan from a seat.** Postcard size works on a table.
- **High contrast.** Dark code on a light background scans most reliably.
- **Match your wedding colors** everywhere except the code itself.
- **Test it** with a couple of different phones before printing them all.

## Making the sign with Dispo88

Dispo88's Event tier comes with a QR poster builder:

1. Create a camera and upgrade it to **Event** ($39 CAD, one time).
2. Open **QR Poster** in the camera's settings.
3. Choose a style (**minimal, retro, bold, wedding, party or film**), then set your colors, headline, and subline.
4. **Download** it or **print** it straight from the page.

*The wedding style.*

The poster is postcard-sized, so it drops right into a table frame. Event also includes a custom guest hint (the message guests see before they shoot), camera lock for the end of the night, and export of every photo as a zip. [More on what Event includes](https://dispo88.com/blog/dispo88-pricing).
