Add an RSVP QR code to your printed invitations
Make an RSVP QR code in three steps: add your guest list, switch on the printable QR code in RSVP, then download it as a PNG or SVG for your printed invitations. Guests scan it with their phone camera, type their name and reply online, and it comes with RSVP on Premium and Event Bundles. It is a different code from the live site QR code guests scan at the venue.

How to add an RSVP QR code to printed invitations
-
Add your guest list
Import a spreadsheet or add guests by hand. Write names as they appear on the invitation, because that is what guests will type.
-
Turn on the printable QR code
In RSVP, open Guest List, then Share & print, and choose Printed-invite QR. It stays off until you switch it on. Choose whether guests type their name, or their name and email.
-
Check the list before you print
The pop-up flags anyone a guest could not find yet: guests not linked to an invitation, the same name on two invitations, and missing emails if you asked for email.
-
Style it and download it
Pick classic, rounded or dots, set the colours or a transparent background, then download an SVG for your printer or a PNG for your own design. Add a short line such as "Scan to RSVP".
-
Guests scan and reply
The code opens a page in your RSVP colours. A guest types their name, and a match takes them straight to their own RSVP, the same one they would have got by email.
Where to set up the RSVP QR code
The code lives in RSVP, under Guest List, in Share and print. Switch it on, choose how guests find themselves, style the code and download it. The "Before you print" check counts the guests it can find, and warns you about anyone who is not linked to an invitation or shares a name with another invitation.
Switch it on
Enable the printable QR. It generates the code and turns on the guest name lookup it points to, and stays off until you do.
Choose how guests find themselves
Name only, where guests enter their first and last name, or Name and email, where they must enter both.
Check the list
Before you print counts the guests the code can find, and warns you about anyone not linked to an invitation or sharing a name with another one, with a shortcut to fix them in your guest list.
Style it
Classic, rounded or dots, in your own colours, on any background colour or a transparent one.
Download it
An SVG for your printer or a PNG for your own design. Copy the link or open the page to check it.
Printable RSVP QR code
Add one QR code to your printed invitations. Guests scan it, find their invitation by name, and continue to your existing RSVP form.
Enable the printable QR
Generates the QR code and turns on the guest name lookup it points to.
Verification method
Guests enter their first and last name. Email can resolve duplicate names.

RSVP link
Use the SVG for print (scales cleanly); the PNG is high-resolution. Print at least 2 cm wide and add a line below it, e.g. Please RSVP online - scan the QR code or visit https://app.myguestwork.com/rsvp/event/….
How guests find their invitation
After scanning, a guest sees your event name and a short form. A match opens their RSVP with everyone on that invitation, so one person can answer for the whole household.
Name only is easiest for guests and suits most events. Name and email needs two details to reach an invitation, which suits a large corporate event or a list full of shared surnames. You can switch at any time.
The code finds the guests you invited, not their plus-ones. The guest fills in their plus-one's details on the same RSVP.

The same name lookup works as a link
The printed code opens the same name lookup as your event-wide RSVP link. Share that link on WhatsApp or by email for guests on your list who do not have a paper invitation.
Sharing the link turns on name lookup, so anyone who has it can find a name on your list. Send it to your guests rather than posting it publicly.
What the RSVP lookup page never shows
A code printed on two hundred invitations will be seen by more than two hundred people, so the page gives nothing away.
No guest list
No guest list, suggestions or autocomplete.
One message for every miss
The same message for every name it cannot match, so a misspelling looks the same as a name that is not on the list.
Rate limits on name lookups
Rate limits on repeated attempts.
Used only to find them
What a guest types is used only to find their invitation.
Add the code before your invitations go to print
Guests scan it, type their name and reply on their own RSVP, and every answer lands on the same guest list as your emailed invitations.
The RSVP QR code and the live site QR code
The code on the invitation and the code at the venue do different things, so they are kept apart.
On the invitation: the RSVP code
For replies, weeks before the event. It opens the name lookup, then the guest's RSVP. It has its own style and colours, and no logo.
At the venue: the live site QR code
For the day itself. It opens your live site, the page where guests search their name and see their table. It is a different code with its own design, covered on the QR code seating chart page.
Paper for some guests, email or WhatsApp for others
Most guest lists are mixed, and that is fine, because the code opens the same personal RSVP each guest would get any other way.
By email
Send RSVP invitations by email to guests with an address.
On WhatsApp
Send invitations on WhatsApp to the ones who live on their phones.
On paper
And print this code for the rest.
Using an RSVP QR code on wedding invitations
Many couples still post printed wedding invitations, and the code lets guests reply online without sending a card back. The same steps work for any printed invitation, from a gala dinner to a milestone birthday.
Put the code on the invitation itself or on a separate RSVP card, with a short line beside it such as "Scan to RSVP" and your reply-by date. If your invitations use formal names, such as Elizabeth rather than Liz, enter them on your guest list the same way. Print the code at least 2 cm wide.
A match opens the household's own RSVP, so one guest can answer for everyone on the invitation, name their plus-one if you allowed one and add dietary requirements. Replies land on the same guest list you seat from, so the code works as the printed way into a wedding RSVP website.
Limits of the RSVP QR code
It only finds people already on your list
Someone you have not added cannot reply through this code. A shareable RSVP link lets them add themselves.
It does not guess
Nicknames, misspellings and a missing accent do not match. Capitals and extra spaces do not matter, but Bill will not find William.
It is not the code for the day itself
Most events end up with two codes: this one on the invitation, and the live site QR code at the venue.
No logo in the middle
This code takes a style and colours only. The live site QR code is the one that can carry a logo.
We do not print anything
You download the file and add it to your invitation, or hand it to your printer.
Other ways guests can reply
Shareable RSVP link
One link for a group chat. Each person replies with their own name and joins your guest list, without anyone seeing who else is invited.
Share one linkWhatsApp invitations
Send each guest their invitation on WhatsApp in one tap, from your own WhatsApp. See who you have already opened it for, so you do not lose your place on a long list.
Invite on WhatsAppOnline RSVP
Collect replies online for the whole party, including plus-ones and dietary requirements. Everyone who says yes is already on your guest list, ready to seat.
See how RSVP worksRSVP QR code questions
No. This code is for replying before the event. The code at the entrance on the day opens your live site, where people find their table, and each code has its own design.
Their first and last name as you entered them, plus their email if you chose name and email. Capitals and extra spaces do not matter, but spelling does.
If they share an invitation, nothing changes. If not, the check before printing flags it: add an email to one of them or change how one name is written. With name-only lookup, a guest can also add their email to tell the two apart.
No. The page never shows a guest list or suggestions, and repeated attempts are rate limited. Someone who knows a guest's exact name could still reach that invitation, so choose name and email if you want a second detail to be needed.
An SVG, which scales cleanly to any print size, and a 1024 by 1024 pixel PNG. Print it at least 2 cm wide.
Yes. Replies lock on your deadline unless you turn that off, and the code keeps working so a guest can still tell you they cannot come. New acceptances close.
Anyone who scans sees a short message that online RSVP is not available for your event. Turn it back on and the same printed code works again.
