The favor of a reply is requested by the first of June. Kindly scan to respond online — it takes under a minute.
A QR code for wedding RSVPs — scan, tap, done.
A QR code for wedding RSVPs links the printed invitation straight to your online RSVP page: guests point their camera at the code on the invitation or reply card, tap the link, and answer in under a minute — no stamp, no envelope, no reply card lost in the mail. Text My Wedding hosts that RSVP page and also takes replies by plain text message, so the guests who can't or won't scan land in the same guest list anyway. Print the code at least 0.8 inches wide and keep the reply-by date right beside it.
Website RSVP, RSVP form, or reply by text?
The code is the easy part — what it opens decides how clean your guest list ends up. Match the destination to your guests, and give the non-scanners a way in.
Most guests, cleanest guest list
A QR code to a hosted RSVP page. A purpose-built RSVP page already knows your guest list: guests find their name, confirm their party, and pick meals in under a minute, and every answer files itself against the right household. This is the page Text My Wedding hosts for you.
You were about to build a Google Form
A form works — but budget for cleanup. Forms collect answers, not guests: misspelled names, duplicate submissions, and one entry for a party of five all land in a spreadsheet you reconcile by hand. If your list is more than a few dozen households, a real RSVP page pays for the switch immediately.
Your wedding website has an RSVP tab
Link the code to the RSVP page itself. Point the code at the RSVP page's exact URL, not the site homepage. Every extra tap between scan and reply loses answers — guests who land on your photo gallery don't always find their way to the form.
Grandparents and guests who won't scan anything
A reply-by-text line under the code. One printed line — “or text RSVP to (555) 123-4567” — covers everyone a QR code misses, because replying to a text is something every guest already does. Text My Wedding records those texted replies in the same guest list as the scans.
A handful of guests who expect mail
Keep a few stamped reply cards in reserve. You don't need one per invitation — tuck a traditional card into the envelopes of the guests you know will want one, and let everyone else scan. Most couples find they need fewer than a dozen.
💌 RSVP card scan prompts
Wording for a reply card where the code is the reply method. Three short lines: the ask, the how, the date — the code does the rest.

The reply card, minus the stamps
Paste your RSVP link, pick the card size, and download a print-ready code. Free, generated right in your browser — the link never leaves this page, and the code never expires.
📎 Invitation corner & details card placements
When the code rides along on paper you're already printing. Keep corner codes at 0.9–1 inch — small enough to stay discreet, big enough to scan.
RSVP Scan to reply by June 1
Dinner, dancing, and details — scan to RSVP and tell us your meal choice.

One scan does it all: RSVP, meal choice, and your song request.
Where should your RSVP QR code appear?
Three spots do the work on wedding stationery. Pick one primary home for the code — printing it in several places is fine, but it should always open the same RSVP page.
The RSVP card itself
The natural home. Keep the card in the suite but swap the mail-back checkboxes for the code and a one-line instruction — guests still get the physical cue to reply, without the stamp. Print the code about 1 inch wide, centered or in the lower half of the card.
The lower corner of the invitation back
The right spot when you're skipping the reply card entirely. A 0.9–1 inch code in a lower corner of the back reads as a quiet utility, not a billboard — pair it with a short line like “Scan to RSVP by June 1.”
The details or enclosure card
If your suite already has a card for the website, registry, and accommodations, the RSVP code belongs with it — one card, every link. Give the RSVP code the top slot and its own reply-by date so it doesn't get lost among the rest.
Never the invitation front
Whatever placement you choose, the invitation face stays clean — that's the one etiquette rule everyone agrees on. A code on the front reads like an ad; the back, the reply card, or an enclosure card all work without touching it.
The code is the easy half — the page it opens decides how clean your guest list ends up. See how Text My Wedding collects wedding RSVPs by scan and by plain text message, into one guest list. For the reply-by date that belongs beside the code, use the free RSVP deadline calculator, and how to collect wedding RSVPs scores a QR code against the other three ways of gathering replies.
How to create a QR code for wedding RSVPs — free
Five steps, no signup, no cost. The only real work is step one — the code itself takes seconds.
Set up your online RSVP page first
The code is only as good as the page it opens. Create your RSVP page before you print anything — a Text My Wedding event gives you one that knows your guest list and takes replies by text as well as by scan.
Copy the exact RSVP link
The reply page's own URL, not your wedding website's homepage. Guests should land one tap from answering — every extra step between scan and reply costs you responses.
Paste it into the free generator below
The RSVP preset is already selected, with “Scan to RSVP” as the label. Everything happens in your browser — the link you enter never leaves this page — and the code is static, so it never expires.
Put the reply-by date right next to the code
A scannable code with no deadline still gets you late replies. “Scan to RSVP by June 1” on one line beats a beautiful code with the date buried elsewhere on the card.
Download at print size and test a paper proof
Never smaller than 0.8 inches — about 1 inch on a card corner. Print one proof at final size and scan it at arm's length before the full run goes to the printer.
RSVP QR code mistakes that cost you replies
An RSVP code failure is worse than a photo code failure — every miss is a guest you now have to chase by hand.
Dropping the reply card with no fallback at all
Some guests can't scan and won't type a URL — remove the mail-back card and give them nothing, and their RSVPs simply never arrive. One printed line — “or text RSVP to (555) 123-4567” — keeps every guest a way in; Text My Wedding logs those texted replies in the same list.
A dynamic code that expires before your reply-by date
Invitations mail six to eight weeks before the deadline, and free tiers of dynamic-QR services kill the redirect after 14 or 30 days — guests scan a dead code exactly when the replies should be arriving. A static code like the ones our generator makes encodes your link directly and never expires.
Printing the corner code too small
A code squeezed to half an inch to fit a card corner fails on older phone cameras — the guests most likely to struggle are the ones who most need it to work. 0.8 inches is the floor; if it doesn't fit, move the code to the card back.
Linking to your website homepage instead of the RSVP page
Guests who land on your engagement photos don't reliably find the RSVP tab. Encode the RSVP page's exact URL so the scan opens the form itself — one tap from code to answer.
No reply-by date anywhere near the code
The old reply card carried its own deadline; the code should too. Guests scan when the invitation arrives but reply “later” — print the date in the same line or directly beneath the code so the nudge travels with it.
Make your RSVP QR code
Paste your RSVP link, pick a card size, download a crisp code. Generated in your browser — the link never leaves this page — and static, so it still works long after the invitations mail.
Paste your RSVP page link. Guests who can't scan can always RSVP by text instead.
Private by design: the link you enter never leaves your browser — the code is generated on this page. It's a static code, so it never expires and there's nothing to renew.

Wedding RSVP QR code questions
How does a QR code for wedding RSVPs work?
The code encodes the link to your online RSVP page. Guests point their phone camera at it, tap the link that pops up, and reply on the page — name, party, meal choices — in under a minute, with no app to install. You make the code once, print it on the invitation or reply card, and every answer lands in one guest list instead of a stack of mailed cards.
How do I create a QR code for my wedding RSVP?
Set up your online RSVP page, copy its exact link, and paste it into the free generator on this page — the RSVP preset and “Scan to RSVP” label are already selected. Download the PNG or SVG at your print size, put the reply-by date next to the code, and test-scan one printed proof before the full run.
Is a wedding RSVP QR code really free?
Yes. The generator on this page makes a static code in your browser — no signup, no watermark, no trial, and the link you enter never leaves the page. The paid products in this space are dynamic-QR subscriptions, which you don't need for an RSVP link that isn't going to change.
What about guests who can't scan a QR code?
Give them a text fallback. One printed line — “or text RSVP to (555) 123-4567” — covers grandparents, older phones, and guests who just won't scan, because replying to a text is something everyone already knows how to do. Text My Wedding takes those texted RSVPs and records them in the same guest list as the scanned ones, so no reply depends on the scan.
Will the QR code stop working before my reply-by date?
Not if it's a static code. Static codes — the kind this generator makes — encode your RSVP link directly in the pattern, so they work for as long as the page exists. Dynamic codes from QR-code services route through the company's servers, and free trials expire the redirect after a couple of weeks — a real problem for invitations that mail six to eight weeks before the deadline.
Do I still need reply cards and stamps?
No — the code replaces the mail-back card for most guests, which also saves a stamped envelope per invitation. Many couples keep the reply card but print the code on it instead of the checkboxes, so guests still get the physical prompt to respond. If a few relatives will expect real mail, tuck traditional stamped cards into just their envelopes.
Can guests RSVP for their whole party and pick meals?
That depends on the page the code opens, not on the code. A hosted RSVP page tied to your guest list — like the one Text My Wedding gives you — lets one scan confirm the whole household, collect a meal choice per seat, and note dietary needs. A generic form can ask the same questions, but you'll match answers to households by hand afterward.
Print the code once.
Let the texts do the rest.
Guests scan to share photos and RSVP — and anyone who can't scan just texts instead. Text My Wedding collects both automatically, and your static code never expires.
