Wedding Invitation With Map: How to Add Directions for Guests

The easiest way to put a map on a wedding invitation is a digital invitation with a Get Directions button for each venue, so guests tap once and their phone’s maps app takes over. On paper, use a small printed map or a QR code. Below is how each option works and what to write.

What are the ways to add a map to a wedding invitation?

There are three, and the right one depends on how you’re sending the invitation.

Option	Best for	Watch out for
Directions button on a digital invitation	Guests on phones, or several venues	The address must be exact
QR code on a printed card	Paper invitations	Test it before you print
Printed map or map card	Older guests and rural venues	Can’t be changed once printed

How do you get a Google Maps link for your venue?

Search for your venue in Google Maps, tap Share and copy the link. Open it on a phone before you send it, because large venues can have several entrances and pins.

What should you include with the map?

• The full venue name and street address
• Which entrance or hall to use, for large venues
• Where to park, and whether it’s free
• A note if phone signal or GPS is unreliable nearby
• A separate address for each event, if there’s more than one

What can you write next to the map?

A short line tells guests what to do.

• Tap below for directions to the venue.
• Scan the code for directions and parking.
• Parking is behind the hall, off Mill Lane.
• GPS can be unreliable here, so please follow the signs from the main road.

What if your wedding has several venues?

Give every event its own address, so nobody drives to the church when they should be at the reception. This matters even more for a wedding weekend or an Indian wedding with several functions.

Can you use a QR code on a printed invitation?

Yes, and it’s a neat way to link paper to directions and RSVPs. Print it large enough to scan, and test it from the printed proof. Our guide to wedding QR codes and online RSVPs has the details.

How do directions work on PixerInvite?

On PixerInvite, you type an address for each event, and guests get a Get Directions button and an Add to Calendar button for it. That works for one venue or a whole wedding weekend, all in one link. You can also get a QR code for printed cards. Designing and previewing on PixerInvite is free, and you pay only to send. See the wedding designs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I put a Google map on a wedding invitation?

Copy your venue's share link from Google Maps for a digital invitation, or turn it into a QR code for a printed card. Test it on a phone first.

Should a wedding invitation include a map?

It helps if the venue is hard to find or guests are travelling. Many couples now use a directions link instead of a printed map.

Can I add more than one location to a wedding invitation?

Yes. A digital invitation can give each event its own address and directions, which is hard to fit on a single printed card.

Where do I put parking information?

Next to the directions for that venue, in one short line.

Can guests get directions from an invitation on PixerInvite?

Yes. PixerInvite shows a Get Directions button for each event's own address, along with an Add to Calendar button.
