Wedding RSVP codes, minus the chase

Half your RSVPs are late because the reply card is sitting in a drawer. A QR code on the invitation — straight to your RSVP form — fixes the biggest wedding admin headache.

The setup

Build your RSVP form first (Google Forms is free and perfect for this — see the Google Form QR generator). Then generate the code, print it on the invitation suite, and guests scan → tap → done. No stamps, no lost reply cards, no deciphering handwriting.

Where to print it

Invitations: on the details card, at least 2x2 cm. Save-the-dates: link it to your wedding website. Table cards: a second code linking to the shared photo album — guests upload their shots all night.

The add-to-calendar trick

Pair the RSVP code with an event QR code on the invitation. One scan drops your wedding — date, time, venue — into their calendar. Fewer "wait, when was it again?" texts.

RSVP wording that works

Next to the code, print exactly what to do: "Scan to RSVP by June 1st." Older guests may need the nudge — and keep a phone number on the invitation for the truly scan-averse.

After the RSVPs roll in

Google Forms tallies responses automatically — meal choices included. Export to a sheet, share with the caterer, done. The whole pipeline costs nothing: free form, free QR code, zero postage.

Good to know

How do I create a QR code for my wedding RSVP?

Make your RSVP form (Google Forms works great), paste its link into a free QR generator, and print the code on your invitations at 2x2 cm or larger.

Should the RSVP QR code link to a form or a website?

A form — one tap to respond. Link your wedding website separately for details like travel and registry.

Do wedding QR codes expire?

Static ones don't. Generate them months ahead; they'll scan on the day and for years after as a keepsake.
