Which table card?
Three kinds of card end up on wedding tables: the table number, the place card with a guest's name, and the QR card that opens the album. Place cards are small and often folded; the QR card has a different job: a face everyone at the table can see and scan comfortably with a phone. That's why it's square and larger. If you like, write the table number in the QR card's title and turn two cards into one.
QR table card sizes
| Item | Size | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Card | 9×9 cm | Stands upright, doesn't get lost next to the menu |
| Print file | 9.6×9.6 cm | 3 mm bleed on every edge, with crop marks |
| QR code | about 2.7 cm | In a box with a clear margin |
| Paper | 350 gsm matte coated | Thick, doesn't reflect light |
| Printing at home | 4 cards per A4 sheet | Check that your printer takes thick paper |
Bleed is the background running slightly past the edge of the card so no white line is left after cutting. The file you send to a print shop should already have the bleed and crop marks; the PDF you get with the album has both.
How big should the QR code be?
A practical rule: the QR code should be about a tenth as wide as the distance it's scanned from. A 2.7 cm QR code scans comfortably from about 27 cm, which is roughly how far a seated guest holds their phone. A smaller code makes guests lean in.
- Contrast: dark code, light background. On a dark card design, the QR sits in a light box; some phones won't read an inverted (light-on-dark) code.
- Margin: leave a clear border around the code. If a pattern or text touches it, scanning gets harder.
- Surface: glossy paper, or glass or acrylic over the card, reflects spotlights. Matte paper avoids that.
- Folds: don't fold across the code; with a folded card, keep the QR in the middle of the front.
Where does the card go on the table?
- Put one card on every table, next to the centrepiece or the table number, facing the guests.
- Don't lay it flat. A holder or small stand brings it closer to eye level.
- Add a card at the entrance, the bar and the photo corner; guests who leave their table scan it there.
- Keep it away from candles: clear of the flame, and with no shadow falling on the code.
- Outdoors, fix the card to a stand against the wind; 350 gsm card is sturdy but light.
What should the card say?
The card has three lines of text: a small label at the top (up to 32 characters), a title in the middle (60) and small print under the QR code (110). The defaults are short lines like "No app needed", "Share your photos with us" and "Point your camera at the QR code; your photos land in our album instantly". If you change them, keep them short: guests should see at a glance what to do.
A last check before printing
- Scan the QR with two different phones, one iPhone and one Android. Both should open your album's upload page.
- Check the spelling of the names and the date once more; there's no correcting a printed card.
- Read the card from a table's distance: are the title and small print big enough for a seated guest?
- Compare the number of cards with your seating plan, and don't forget extras for the entrance, the bar and the photo corner.
How many cards do you need?
Plan one card per table and a few for the entrance, bar and photo corner. Confirm the table count with your venue. Print as many copies of the PDF as you need; the service does not sell physical card packs.
How do you print the PDF?
