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.

How it works

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.

1

Prepare the wishlist

Add the wishes, notes, prices, and priorities before the code goes onto an invitation.

2

Create the QR code

Use the Wantivo app to create a code for the right invite or share link.

3

Add one clear line

Tell guests that the code opens the wishlist and that they should reserve before buying.

4

Test before sending

Scan the code on a phone before printing, exporting, or sending the invitation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When is a QR code useful for a wishlist?

A QR code is useful when guests should open the wishlist from an invitation, card, PDF, poster, or other printed material.

Can Wantivo create a QR code?

Yes. The iOS and Android apps can create a QR code for the right invite or share link.

Can guests open the list without the app after scanning?

Yes, when the list is public. After scanning, guests open the list in the browser and can reserve before buying. Protected lists can still need an invitation, login, or member access.

Is a QR code better than a normal link?

On paper, a QR code is usually easier because nobody has to type a long address. In chats or emails, a normal link is often more direct.

What should stand next to the QR code?

A short line is enough: explain that the code opens the wishlist and ask guests to reserve before buying. For example: "Here is our wishlist. Please reserve a wish before you buy it."

Does a QR code work well for wedding invitations?

Yes. Wedding invitations, birthday cards, baby-shower PDFs, and party invitations are good places for a wishlist QR code.

Made for you

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.

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.
