A wedding QR code is the simplest possible answer to the question every couple asks after the wedding: "Where are all the photos guests took?" You display a code, guests scan it, and every photo lands in your gallery the moment it's uploaded — from cocktail hour through the last dance and beyond.
WedPort generates a unique QR code for your wedding hub automatically. Download it, print it, display it anywhere — and guests who scan it can upload photos, videos, voice messages, and written notes directly from their phone without downloading anything. In 2026, that same QR code also unlocks the AI Caricature Photo Booth, letting every guest create personalized artwork right from their phone and saving it alongside the real photos in your gallery.
Same QR Code Now Includes an AI Caricature Booth
Guests tap the Photo Booth tab, snap a selfie, choose from 10 art styles, and have their caricature in 30 seconds — all through the same hub your QR code already links to. Classic, watercolor, anime, oil painting, vintage poster, bobblehead, and more. Every caricature saves to your wedding gallery permanently.

The reason most photo-sharing solutions fail at weddings isn't the technology — it's the friction. If guests have to download an app, create an account, or navigate more than two taps, a significant portion of them won't do it. An older guest with a full phone will give up. A guest who's had a few drinks at the open bar will give up. Even tech-savvy guests will mean to do it later and forget.
A QR code eliminates every step except the scan. No decision about whether to install something. No password to create. The guest points their camera, taps the notification, and they're uploading. That frictionless path is what makes the difference between a gallery with 40 photos and a gallery with 400.
"The best photo-sharing solution is the one that works for every single guest — from the 22-year-old who lives on Instagram to the 78-year-old who still calls it 'the Google.' One QR code. No friction. Every guest."
What Your WedPort QR Code Does
Links directly to your unique wedding hub
Every WedPort wedding gets its own QR code that links permanently to that specific hub. Scan it once, scan it a hundred times — it always goes to the right place. The code never expires and never needs updating, even if you share the hub weeks before or after the wedding.
Accepts photos, videos, audio, and written messages
When guests scan the code, they land in a contribution interface that accepts photos from their camera roll, video clips, voice-recorded messages, and written notes. Each contribution is attached to the guest's name. Everything uploads in full resolution and is downloadable at any time.
AI Caricature Photo Booth — same hub, same scan
The same QR code that gives guests access to photo sharing also gives them the Photo Booth tab. Guests tap it, snap a selfie, choose an art style, and have a professional AI caricature in about 30 seconds. All 10 styles — classic, watercolor, pencil sketch, vintage poster, anime, oil painting, comic book, superhero, bobblehead, ink sketch — available from any phone. Add-on from $149 for 100 caricatures, includes 1 free year of WedPort. Details →
High-resolution download — always
Every photo, video, and caricature guests contribute is stored in full original resolution. After your wedding, download your complete collection as a single archive — photos, messages, and caricatures all together. Use it for a printed photo book, share it with family, back it up — it's yours to keep forever.
Use it anywhere — print, digital, or both
The QR code downloads as a high-resolution PNG you can use anywhere. Print it on table cards at any size, display it on a 24-inch welcome sign, embed it in your wedding program at 1.5 inches, include it in your invitations, post it on social media before the wedding — one code, unlimited uses.
Where to Display Your Wedding QR Code
The more places guests encounter the code, the more photos and caricatures you'll collect. Here are the six highest-impact locations:
Reception Table Cards
The single most effective placement. Every guest has one in front of them for hours. Print at a minimum 3×3 inches per card with the instruction: "Share your photos & create your AI caricature — scan here!" Guests scan while waiting for courses or between dances.
Welcome Sign at the Entrance
A freestanding sign with the QR code displayed prominently — at least 8 inches square — greets guests as they arrive and sets the expectation before they even sit down. Pair it with: "Welcome! Scan to share photos, leave a message, and try our AI Caricature Booth!"
Bar & Cocktail Hour Area
Guests congregate at the bar throughout the night with their phones already out. A sign near the bar picks up guests who haven't scanned yet and is especially effective for the AI Photo Booth — people naturally want to show their caricatures to whoever they're standing with at the bar.
Photo Booth or Backdrop Area
Place a QR code sign next to any photo booth, backdrop, or dedicated photo spot. Guests in that area are already in photo mode — and pointing them toward the AI Caricature Booth from the same hub creates a natural extension of the experience.
Wedding Programs
Include a small QR code (minimum 1.5 inches) in your ceremony program. Guests who take programs home often contribute the day after — and with the AI booth, they can create caricatures from home after the fact too.
Invitations & Save-the-Dates
Add the QR code to invitations to invite pre-wedding well-wishes. Guests who have already interacted with the hub once are significantly more likely to contribute photos and try the caricature booth during the reception.

Have your DJ announce it — and the Photo Booth
Ask your DJ to mention the QR code during cocktail hour and specifically call out the AI Caricature Booth. A brief announcement is the single highest-impact action for maximizing participation — and once guests discover the booth, it spreads by itself.

Printing Tips for the Best Results
QR Code Print Specifications
- Minimum size for reliable scanning: 1.5 inches square for programs, 3 inches for table cards, 6–8 inches for freestanding signs
- Always leave white space around the code — at least 1/4 inch of clear border on all sides
- High contrast is essential: dark code on white or very light background. Avoid printing on colored or patterned backgrounds.
- Test before the wedding: scan your printed code with multiple phones before your event to confirm it works at the size you've printed
- Include instruction text on every display: "Open your phone's camera and point it at this code — share photos & create your caricature!"
- Include the URL too for guests who prefer to type it from a computer at home — you'll capture contributions and caricatures from people who couldn't make it
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wedding QR code?
A wedding QR code is a scannable code that links to your wedding hub. When guests scan the code with their phone camera, they can instantly upload photos, videos, and messages — and in 2026, create personalized AI caricatures through the same hub. No app download required.

How do I create a free wedding QR code for photos?
Sign up for a free WedPort trial — no credit card required. Create your wedding hub with your names and date, and WedPort automatically generates a unique QR code. Download it as a high-resolution PNG and print it on table cards, signage, or your wedding program. Every hub includes 3 free AI caricature credits too.
How do I add a QR code to my wedding program?
Download your WedPort QR code as a PNG and place it in your wedding program design using Canva, Adobe, or any design tool. Print it at minimum 1.5 inches square with a short instruction line: "Scan to share your photos, leave a message, and try the AI Caricature Booth!" Include the direct URL alongside the code for guests who contribute from home later.
Do guests need to download an app to use the wedding QR code?
No. WedPort works entirely through the web browser. Guests scan the QR code with their phone's native camera app, tap the notification, and land directly in the hub — photo sharing, guestbook, video messages, and AI caricature booth all accessible immediately. No download, no account, no friction.
Where should I display my wedding QR code?
The highest-impact locations are reception table cards, a welcome sign at the entrance, the bar area, and inside your wedding program. Using all four locations consistently produces the most contributions — multiple exposures throughout the evening keep guests reminded and engaged. Add signage near any photo booth or backdrop area too, especially if you've activated the AI Caricature Booth.
Does the QR code expire after the wedding?
No. Your WedPort QR code never expires as long as your account is active. Guests can still scan and contribute photos — or create caricatures — days or weeks after the wedding. Many couples get their favorite contributions from guests who were too caught up in the moment during the reception itself.
Can I customize my wedding QR code?
WedPort provides your QR code as a clean high-resolution image you can incorporate into any design. Work with a designer or use Canva to embed it into table cards, signage, and programs that match your wedding colors and aesthetic. The code itself is standardized for maximum scan reliability across all phones.
