Print QR Code Table Cards Guests Will Actually Scan

However good the gallery is, participation lives or dies at the table card. Guests scan codes that are easy to see, obviously explained, and pleasant to look at next to the centerpieces — and ignore ones that look like shipping labels.

• Contrast is king: dark code on a light background, at least a 4:1 ratio. (EveryShot's QR Studio blocks you from exporting a code phones can't read.)
• Size: the code itself should be at least 2 cm (about an inch) across for arm's-length scanning; bigger for bar-top signs read from further away.
• Match the wedding, not the tech: soft palettes, rounded patterns, and a monogram in the center read as stationery, not signage.
• One clear instruction beats three: "Share your photos — scan with your camera" is all anyone needs.

• Export at print resolution (300 DPI) — a 5×7 card prints crisp at that size; most print shops and home printers handle it same-day.
• One per table minimum, plus the high-traffic spots: the bar, the guest book, near the dance floor, and the restroom hallway (genuinely one of the most-scanned spots at any wedding).
• Card stock or a small frame keeps cards upright all night; flat paper ends up under napkins by dinner.
• Print one spare per table — someone always pockets one as a keepsake.

If you're running multiple galleries — a main album plus a selfie station — give each its own card design so the codes never get mixed up, and place them where each belongs.
