How calendar QR codes work
The QR code contains a standard calendar event (VEVENT) with your title, times, location and description. Scanning it on most phones shows an “Add to calendar” option. The event is saved in the guest's own calendar app, with its normal reminders.
Where to use one
- Wedding, birthday and reception invitations.
- Webinars, workshops and conference sessions.
- School events, parent–teacher meetings and exam dates.
- Product launches, sales and store openings.
- Doctor and salon appointment cards.
Tips
- Pair it with a Google Maps QR code for directions.
- For online events, put the meeting link in the description.
- Keep the description short — long text makes the code denser and harder to scan.
