Google forms, QR codes: Technology's instrumental role at Anant-Radhika's wedding
The grand wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, held on July 12, showcased not only opulence but also innovative use of technology for guest management. The Ambani family employed tools like QR codes and Google forms to ensure smooth access for attendees. This marked a departure from traditional RSVP methods as guests were asked to confirm their attendance via Google form or email.
QR codes and wristbands: Securing access at the venue
Per PTI, when guests confirmed their attendance, they received a message stating: "We have received your RSVP and we look forward to welcoming you... the QR codes will be shared 6 hours prior to the event." The QR codes, shared six hours before the event, were sent to guests' personal mobile numbers. At the venue, these codes were scanned at entry points for real-time tracking. Attendees were also provided with color-coded paper wristbands, corresponding to specific access levels or zones.
