A QR code may feel like a small detail—but it shapes how your memories are collected, protected, and enjoyed long after the wedding.

The right choice isn’t about spending the least.

It’s about spending once and getting it right.

At Dearest, we help couples gather guest photos in a way that’s easy, organized, and actually enjoyable. And because we get asked all the time how to print QR codes affordably, today I’m breaking down your best options—what works, what to avoid, and the secret to getting real guest participation on your wedding day.

Weddings are packed with magical moments: the first look, the quiet smiles, spontaneous group shots, and the tear-filled father–daughter dance. But as much as we hope to capture them all, in practice it’s hard. In the bustle of the day, guests don’t always send you their best photos. Group chats get cluttered. Sometimes, people forget to forward pictures. Some get lost in the shuffle.
