Is it tacky to put a QR code on a wedding invitation?

Quick answer

No — a QR code on a wedding invitation is widely accepted now, as long as it's small, clearly labelled and useful (your wedding website, RSVP or photo album). Keep it off the main invitation card if you want a formal look: put it on the details card or insert instead, styled to match your stationery.

Etiquette tips

  • Label it: "Scan to share your photos with us" or "Scan for our wedding website".
  • Put it on the details or enclosure card for formal suites.
  • Match colours to your stationery — QR codes don't have to be black squares.
  • Keep a printed fallback (short URL) for guests who don't scan.
  • Repeat the photo QR code at the venue — the invitation alone isn't enough.
