Copy you can steal
Wedding table QR code wording that actually works
The right line under a QR code can be the difference between guests scanning or scrolling. Here are the lines we've seen work — short, warm, and free for you to use.
Every line below is yours to use — copy, paste, adapt, mix and match. Pair one with the QR code printed on table cards, signage or stationery. The best wording is short enough to read in three seconds and warm enough to feel like an invitation, not an instruction.
Short and warm
These work best on small table cards where you do not have much space. One line under the QR code is plenty.
- Scan to leave us a message we can keep.
- Help us remember how today felt.
- Share a memory, a piece of advice, or a few words of love.
- Your words, kept forever. Scan to add yours.
- Tell us something we'll want to read again.
- Leave us something to read together later.
- A message from you, kept by us.
- Add your voice to our keepsake.
With a prompt built in
Pair the QR code wording with a prompt printed alongside it — the message goes from generic to specific, and guests pause long enough to write something that lands.
- Scan and tell us a memory of us you hope we never forget.
- Scan and leave us a piece of advice for married life.
- Scan and write us something we can open on our first anniversary.
- Scan and tell us one thing you've always wanted to say.
- Scan and share a moment from today you'd like us to remember.
- Scan and write a story about us only you would think to tell.
For the order of service or programme
Slightly more formal — sits well alongside the rest of the order of service typography. Works on the back page or in a printed programme.
- Before you leave today, take a moment to write us a message. Your words will be kept in our wedding keepsake — scan the code to begin.
- We've made a small place to keep the words from today. If you have a memory, a piece of advice, or a few words of love to share — scan the code and write.
- Help us hold onto today. Scan to leave a message that will be part of our keepsake.
For a sign at the entrance or near the cake
Larger format. Works on an A5 or A4 standing sign. Lead with the invitation, follow with the practical detail.
- Tell us something we'll want to read again. Scan the code to leave us a message — a memory, a piece of advice, or a few words of love. Your message becomes part of our keepsake.
- Help us remember how today felt. Scan the code to write us a message. It only takes a couple of minutes, and we'll keep it forever.
- A message from you. A keepsake for us. Scan the code, choose a prompt, write a few words. Your message lands in our private keepsake — to read on the morning after, our first anniversary, and years from now.
For guests who couldn't attend
Use these for the WhatsApp group, the wedding website, or the email you send the day after to people who could not make it. The framing is different from the venue lines — there is more time, less pressure.
- We missed you today. If you have something to say to us, scan or click — we'd love to keep your words.
- Could not be there but still want to write something? Add your message to our keepsake — scan or follow the link.
- Your message means more than a card. Scan, write something, and we'll read it together.
Quick tips
- One line is usually better than two. Wedding guests skim. The shorter the sign, the more likely they are to act on it.
- Pair the wording with a specific prompt. A generic “leave a message” produces generic messages. A prompt makes guests pause and write something better.
- Print the URL alongside the QR code. Older guests, or anyone whose phone camera isn’t cooperating, can type it in.
- Avoid the word “app”. Guests associate “app” with friction. Said & Kept does not require one, and saying so explicitly helps.
