Guests can RSVP, receive directions, see event updates, and even message—all from the interactive invite itself. Our pre wedding photoshoot turned out amazing—it felt like a fun date with a camera tagging along.

Planning an opulent rooftop wedding? Or a fantastical forest ceremony? Your invite's AR experience can set the tone and mood in an instant.
They Minimize Follow-Ups
Last-minute updates? Guests who scan the invite can receive the latest information in real time—no new mailers or mass texts required.
How to Create Your Own AR Wedding Invite
Making an AR wedding invitation isn't so hard after all—especially with platforms that have drag-and-drop features for couples and designers. Here's the step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Design Your Physical Invite
Leave a clear area on the card for an AR marker or QR code.
Go luxe with paper, gold foil, or custom illustration—traditional beauty is still important.
Step 2: Select an AR Platform
Some of the most popular tools and platforms for integrating wedding AR include:
ZapWorks
8thWall
Artivive
Augment
Layar (now Blippar)
These programs allow you to upload images, videos, 3D objects, and interactive content.
Step 3: Upload Live Photo or Video Content
Capture a personal invite message (bonus: film it at your venue or during engagement photos).
Build a gallery of live photos or behind-the-scenes footage.
Apply motion graphics such as falling rose petals or floating lanterns.
Step 4: Embed the Experience
Connect the AR experience to a marker on the card or QR code.
Test it on multiple devices to provide seamless playback and access.
Step 5: Add Instructions for Guests
Put a little note on the reverse:
"Scan this invite with your phone to unlock a surprise from us!"
Optionally, instruct them to view using a web-based AR viewer—no app download necessary.
