A table card is often more useful than a second large sign. Guests are already seated, talking, and taking photos. The QR code is close enough to scan without interrupting the event.

The card should not look like a dense instruction sheet. It needs one action, one QR code, and enough breathing room to feel intentional on the table.

Table card template plan

Top line Use a short request, not a paragraph. Example: Share your favorite photo.
QR code Keep it large and surrounded by white space. Scan-test the printed card.
Support line Explain where the scan leads. Example: Add it to our wedding album.
Card placement Set it near the centerpiece or table number. Do not hide it behind decor.
Backup plan Use the same link on the welcome sign and follow-up text. One link keeps photos together.

Keep the table card quieter than the centerpiece

The card should be visible, not loud. A clean border, generous spacing, and a clear QR code usually look better than a crowded design with several instructions. Guests should understand the request without the card competing with the tablescape.

Print a proof before ordering a batch

Table cards are small, so scanning reliability matters. Print one proof at the final size, place it on a table, and scan it from a normal seated distance. If guests have to lean in or pick it up, make the QR code bigger or simplify the design.

Use the same tested link on every table card. If each table has a different link, photos become harder to collect and guests may compare instructions.

Quick answers

What should a wedding photo QR table card include?

Use one short request, a large QR code, a brief support line, and enough white space for easy scanning.

How many table cards do I need?

Use one per reception table when possible. If printing is limited, prioritize the guestbook table, bar, dessert table, and photo booth.

Should table cards use the same QR code as the welcome sign?

Yes. Use one tested link everywhere so guest photos stay in one album, folder, or gallery.
