The short answer: a QR code sign works when it says three things in a few words: what the guest does, that it takes no effort, and why it matters to you. "Scan to add your photos. No app, no sign-up." covers all three. Below are thirty variations you can copy, grouped by tone.
Before you pick a line, create your film so you have a real code to print. In Evershots, guests scan the code, enter a name and either take photos or add ones already on their phone. There is no account and nothing to install, so your sign can truthfully promise "no app, no sign-up".

Test before you print
Scan your code on an iPhone and an Android phone that aren't yours. Check that you can enter a name, take a photo and add one from the gallery. Do this before you order fifty cards.
FAQ
What should a wedding QR code sign say?
State the action (scan to add photos), the effort (no app, no sign-up) and the reason (we want the moments we missed). Short lines work best because guests read signs in passing.
Can guests add photos they already took?
In Evershots, yes. After scanning, guests can shoot new photos or choose ones from their phone gallery.
Should the sign mention the reveal?
Only if you chose a scheduled reveal. Naming the date builds anticipation and tells guests why the gallery looks empty at first.
