Share a wishlist by QR code on invitations and cards

Use a QR code where guests already see the invitation: on wedding cards, birthday invitations, baby-shower PDFs, table cards, or party materials. After scanning, they open the wishlist and reserve a gift before buying.

Wantivo wishlist overview Shared wishlist with reservations
For invitations that should lead straight to the wishlist
A QR code keeps the invitation clean while giving guests a quick way into the current list.
  • You want the wishlist on a card, PDF, poster, table sign, or printed invitation.
  • Guests should not have to type or search for a link later.
  • The list belongs to a wedding, birthday, baby shower, party, or another planned celebration.

How the QR code works: In the iOS or Android app, you can create a QR code for the right invite or share link. After scanning, public lists can open in the browser; protected lists still keep the protection you chose.

The QR code connects the invitation to the wishlist

Guests see the occasion, scan the code, and land on the open wishes instead of hunting for a message later.

Prepare the wishlist
Add the wishes, notes, prices, and priorities before the code goes onto an invitation.
Create the QR code
Use the Wantivo app to create a code for the right invite or share link.
Add one clear line
Tell guests that the code opens the wishlist and that they should reserve before buying.
Test before sending
Scan the code on a phone before printing, exporting, or sending the invitation.

When a QR code is better than a plain link

A normal link works well in chat. A QR code shines when the wishlist starts on paper, in a PDF, or on a sign.

On a wedding invitation, birthday card, table card, or baby-shower PDF, a QR code feels more natural than a long URL because guests can move straight from the material to the list.

The code should not stand alone. A short sentence such as "Here is our wishlist. Please reserve a wish before you buy it." makes the purpose clear and tells guests what they can do after scanning.

Before printing or sending, scan it once with a phone. After that, guests can see the wishes, choose what fits, and reserve before buying.

  • Use QR codes on wedding invitations, birthday cards, baby-shower PDFs, table cards, or party invitations.
  • Keep the printed explanation short and warm.
  • Let guests scan, open the list, and reserve a gift from the same current wishlist.
  • Give the code enough space and test it on a phone before printing or sending.

Keep the QR code invitation-friendly

The code should feel like part of the invitation, not like an unexplained square.

  • Place it near a short gift note, for example: "Here is our wishlist. Please reserve before buying."
  • Use one short line that says what guests will find after scanning.
  • Test it on a phone before you send a PDF or print cards.
