How to Set Up QR Codes for Your Wedding
Complete guide to creating, customizing, and displaying QR codes at your wedding venue
Introduction
QR codes are the easiest way for wedding guests to access your photo gallery. In this guide, you'll learn how to create, customize, and display QR codes that make photo sharing effortless for your guests.
💡 Pro Tip
Place QR codes at multiple locations throughout your venue. The more visible they are, the more photos you'll collect from guests!
Creating Your QR Code
Follow these simple steps to generate your wedding QR code:
- Log in to your Snapeen dashboard
- Navigate to "New Event" button
