QR Codes in Wedding Photo Albums: How to Add Digital Flair to Traditional Keepsakes
Adoption of technology in weddings is steadily growing and QR codes are now part of these modern advancements. These small and scannable codes can be used to give a modern touch to the wedding photo album as it combines the feel of having photo albums with the features of digital content.
With the help of QR codes, you can incorporate more details, such as videos, galleries, and messages in the wedding album, and guests only have to scan the code in order to access them. That being said, it’s time to have a closer look at how this tool can be further utilized in a wedding.
Why Opt for a Wedding QR Code for Photos?
As we just showed you, a wedding QR code for photos enables a combination of printed photo and digital memory. Unlike with a physical album though, your guests can scroll through a wider array of pictures, clips, or messages you made before, during, or even after your wedding day.
Users can open it with their smartphones and, for instance, look at the chosen galleries online, or share photos and even comment on the sharing platform. This can make your photo album look more like a record that is updated with memories as time progresses. Yes, even after the wedding.
How to Create and Incorporate a Wedding QR Code for Photos?
It is easy to add a QR code to a wedding album. First, choose what content you would like to share – this can be a link to an online gallery, a montage of the ceremony, or a wedding blog which would include stories and comments from the guests.
To make everything easier, it is necessary to use an online service that helps you generate individualized QR codes. The QR code that is generated can be printed, and then shared with guests. You may share it over the internet via email, MMS, etc.
Creative Ways to Use QR Codes at Your Wedding
Although it is not bad to link QR codes to the wedding photo album, there are other ways to incorporate this technology into the wedding.
a. Guest Photography
Generate a community code which leads the guests to a photo album where they can upload any photo of the wedding that they captured. With this, you can have pictures from different angles.
b. Thank You Notes
Print your thank you cards and include a QR code that will take your guests to both the wedding photo album and a video message appreciating their presence.
c. Interactive Invitations
Include a QR code to the wedding invitation. This could lead to a page with additional information about the wedding. E.g., location details, where to book a hotel, etc.
Conclusion
QR codes are the best of two worlds in that they capture the traditional/physical aspect while at the same time making your wedding day memories easily retrievable at any point in time. QR codes for wedding days are limitless, and can help create a beautiful ambience that will ensure a rather memorable experience.
