You can also link to your event&#8217;s Facebook page for the party so invitees can connect and make plans in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Offering these interactive tools can make things more efficient and enjoyable for your guests.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>What to share with your Holiday Invitation&#8217;s QR Code:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Instant RSVP &#8211; let people fill out a simple contact form to accept\/decline the invite<\/li>\n<li>Mapping &#8211; make it easy for people to get turn-by-turn directions via GPS<\/li>\n<li>Contacts &#8211; make it easy for folks to call, email or message you at a touch<\/li>\n<li>Get Social &#8211; let people share your invitation on social media channels, or join the conversation on your Facebook event page<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Christmas Cards, New Year&#8217;s Greetings, and Family Updates<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you aren\u2019t planning for a party, but instead are looking to send out a Christmas card, family update, or new year&#8217;s greeting.\u00a0 Traditionally you might send out a single photo with a short Holiday greeting.\u00a0 But what if on this card you placed a QR code as well?<\/p>\n<p>This code could let you customize your card with individual video greetings for each recipient, or simply have a single video greeting for all cards, making it much more personal and fun.\u00a0 The QR code might also direct your friends and family to other family photos, or stories of the happenings of the past year.\u00a0 This is sure to make your Christmas card stand out, and add a little extra magic for your recipients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to share with your Holiday Card&#8217;s QR Code:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Video Greeting &#8211; personalize your card with a special message<\/li>\n<li>Photos &#8211; share family memories,<\/li>\n<li>Updates &#8211; share additional text content that won&#8217;t fit on your card<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether your holiday cards are for greetings or invitations, business or pleasure, using QR codes makes it possible to interact with your recipients in new ways by combining old traditions with new technologies.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Want to add a QR Code to your holiday cards?<\/h2>\n<p><a title=\"Do it for Free\" href=\"http:\/\/qfuse.com\/signup\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1259 aligncenter\" alt=\"page-button\" src=\"http:\/\/qfuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/page-button-300x284.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qfuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/page-button-300x285.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qfuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/page-button.jpg 395w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Holiday season is fast approaching, and that means people are starting to prepare for their parties and get-togethers, as well as sending out invitations, Christmas cards and family updates.\u00a0 For those looking to add an element of interactivity to these holiday communications, the use of a simple QR code will go a long way.
