Guests scan the code on the invitation, in the group chat or on the welcome sign and find when and where, the RSVP form, gift ideas, directions and the album for their photos. Birthday, baby shower, graduation or anniversary: you edit the page until the last balloon pops; the printed code never changes.
What guests see after a scan
Sample content: the Birthday party template with your name, plan and links.
No account needed. Paste the link where guests reply, a Google Form, Partiful, Evite, Paperless Post, Punchbowl or your Scanely page, and download the QR and a card for the invitation. The code is static and opens that link.
The public link guests open to reply: the Send link of a Google Form, the event link from Partiful, Evite or Punchbowl, or your Scanely page.
Printed at the top of the card.
Free static QR. No watermark, no scan limit, and no expiry set by Scanely. The destination must remain available.
Your QR code
Generated in your browser. Scanely does not upload your link to generate this static QR.
Ready for your counter
Add a short invitation and download a PDF at its exact print size. No account or watermark.
Add a valid link above to prepare your print.
Print at 100% / actual size. Keep the QR border clear and test one physical sample before printing a batch. Cards are individual pages; ask your printer to arrange them on a sheet.

The replies land in the tool you linked, not in Scanely. For a code you can repoint later and a page with the plan, the gift list and the photos, create the Birthday party page instead and print its dynamic QR.
Create the Birthday party page
Choose the Birthday party template in your account, add the name, when and where, the gift list link and directions, and publish.
Download the QR code
Each page comes with its own dynamic QR. Download it as SVG for the invitation design or PNG for the group chat and the welcome sign.
Send it and print it
Add the code to the invitation or send the page link in the chat, print the welcome sign, scan a printed proof, then edit the page whenever plans change.
When, where and what to bring
The date and time, the place, the rain plan and whether parents stay: the details every guest asks about, in one place.
RSVP form
Guests reply from their phone with the names of everyone coming and any allergies. Replies reach you by email and stay in the dashboard.
Gift ideas and directions
A button to any wishlist or registry, or a "no gifts" note, and a button to the map. Up to three buttons per block.
Shared photo album
A button to your Google Photos, iCloud or Dropbox album, so every guest adds the pictures they took.
The RSVP replies land in your inbox and in the dashboard. The Free plan takes 10 form replies a month across your pages; a paid or Lifetime plan takes a long guest list. Scanely is not a gift registry and does not store your party photos: the buttons open your list and your album where you keep them. See all page templates.
One code, four places. Each one does a different job before, during and after the party.
Paper invitation
The code replaces the reply slip: guests RSVP from their phone and the page already has the directions.
Group chat and e-invite
Send the page link in the chat or add the code to an Evite or Canva invitation; both open the same page.
Welcome sign and table
A sign at the door or on the table opens the plan, the playlist and the photo album during the party.
Thank-you note
After the party, the page becomes the album page: swap the text and keep the code.
A video invitation or a birthday message behind a code comes from the video QR code generator; signs and table stands from the QR print templates. Scan a printed proof with the QR scanner before the invitations go to print.
No expiry date
Scanely sets no expiry date and runs no trial. A Free code keeps working when you never pay.
Pay once if you prefer
Lifetime plans start at $49 one-time, for as long as Scanely exists. No subscription outliving the party.
Editable until the party
Move the time, add the rain plan, swap the gift list. The printed code never changes.
A written promise
Our promise page covers blocks, billing and what happens if Scanely ever shuts down: you get the redirect list and time to move.
Every commitment is written down on our promise page and is part of the Terms of Service. The Free plan includes 3 pages and codes; the Lifetime plan is a single payment from $49. For a wedding, the wedding QR code page has the day plan and the shared album.
What is a party QR code?
A QR code printed on the invitation, sent in the group chat or placed on the welcome sign that opens a web page for the party: when and where, what to bring, an RSVP form, gift ideas, directions and the shared photo album. With Scanely it points to a hosted Birthday party page you can edit after the invitations are printed.
How does the RSVP work?
The page has a form with name, email and a message field for the names of everyone coming and any allergies. Every reply is emailed to you and listed in your dashboard, where you can export it. The Free plan takes 10 form replies a month across your pages; a paid or Lifetime plan takes more, so a long guest list needs a paid plan.
Can I add a gift list?
Yes, as a button to any wishlist or registry: an Amazon list, a toy shop list, a baby registry, a fundraising page or a note that says "no gifts, please". Scanely is not a gift registry; the button opens the list where you keep it.
How do guests share their photos?
Create a shared album in Google Photos, iCloud or Dropbox with uploads allowed, and put that link behind a Share your photos button on the page or in the thank-you note. Scanely does not store your party photos; the album stays in your photo app.
Can I change the page after the invitations are printed?
Yes, at any time: move the start time, add the rain plan, swap the gift list, write a thank-you after the party. The printed code stays the same, because it points to the page, not to its content.
Will the code stop working?
Scanely sets no expiry date on any code and runs no trial that ends. Free codes keep working when you never pay; a Lifetime plan is a one-time payment from $49. Codes work for as long as Scanely exists, and our promise page says what happens if Scanely ever shuts down: you get the redirect list and time to move.
Where do I put the code?
On the paper invitation and in the text or group chat, so guests RSVP from their phone; on the welcome sign and the table, so they find the plan and add photos during the party; in the thank-you note, so they find the album afterwards. Keep a printed code at least 25 mm wide with an empty border.
Who can see the page?
Anyone who scans the code or has the link can open it, so leave out what should stay private: say "address in the invitation" instead of printing your home address if the code goes on a public board. Free pages carry a small Scanely footer; paid plans remove it.
The Birthday party template is on the Free plan. The QR code is ready the moment the page is published, and the page can change until the candles are lit.
