Turn Baby Shower Invitations Into Interactive Experiences With QR Codes
Babies are precious, whether they're the firstborn or the fifth. The next time you have the pleasure of throwing a baby shower for your sister, cousin or a friend, create an equally precious baby shower invitation. Add a QR Code to an invitation template and you'll turn a traditional baby shower invitation into a unique interactive experience. What makes the marriage of QR Codes with printed cards such a fun success is that most people love to open the mail, touch, feel and read a high quality printed invitation, but also love the convenience and portability of their cell phones. Truly a successful marriage of traditional cards and contemporary electronics.
If you're unfamiliar with QR Codes (or Quick Response Codes), the technology is pretty simple. It's just a two-dimensional barcode that can be printed on your customizable baby shower invitations. When a guest scans the QR Code with her Smartphone, she is instantly transported to the Internet content of your choice. From cute videos to web pages full of event details, shower gift registries to baby photo albums, you can use QR Codes to bridge the gap between paper invitation and guest in a memorable (and personal) way.
Do you have any fun video clips of the mother-to-be? If so, you could link to them with a QR Code on the baby shower invitations. Topics which could be amusing to friends and family include plans for the nursery, the story of her pregnancy, or a brainstorming session on baby names. With QR Code technology, you can harness the power of video and transform a basic baby shower invitation into so much more.
The use of QR codes is not limited to entertainment. They can also be used to make party attendance easier on your guests. Link the baby shower invitation QR Code to the gift registry, for example. With one scan of the code, guests can easily determine the gifts they want to purchase for the new baby.
RSVP by phone is so passé! Instead, link the invitation QR Code to your Facebook event page. Guests can choose "attending," "not attending," or "maybe attending" in an instant online. They can also "share" your event with friends who may otherwise have been missed. No more hurt feelings because you were given an incomplete address list!
Whatever you may decide to link your baby shower invitation QR Code to, guests will enjoy the interactive experience. It's a fun way to create a personal, interactive connection and turn a traditional invitation into a lasting keepsake.
