The purpose of having a wedding hashtag is so that you can have photos to cherish forever.
(Your cameraman or videographer can capture every moment, and especially moments of the attendees).
Also, unless you are totally an offline couple, there are possibilities you would want your wedding popping up on wedding social media pages. Not only to celebrate the beauty of your wedding, but also to celebrate your guests who took their time to look great.
If you are stumped trying to come up with wedding hashtag ideas, first check out the best wedding hashtags out there for inspiration, then read the tips on how to create a top wedding hashtag below.
1. Start With Your Names
This is an obvious tip, but also one of the ways to get the cutest hashtags. It could be a combination of your first names, middle names, surnames or even nicknames.
It could even be the couple pet name your family and friends call you. E.g: #SamAndCarterKissAndTell
2. Use Numbers To Make Your Hashtag Unique
If you can’t come up with something quirky apart from your names, adding the year or date of your wedding is an easy way to make your hashtag unique.
There might be many #SamAndcarter, but you will most likely be the only #SamAndCarter1109.
3. Get Punny
Let your hashtag be fun and catchy. Look out for alliterations, rhymes, synonyms and puns that will be both clever and memorable.
If you can’t figure it out, ask your funny friends. E.g., #OhHillYeah
4. Capitalize the First Letter of Each Word
Capitalizing will help readability and will help everyone get the pun, joke or the difference in name. This doesn’t mean your hashtag won’t do well if you don’t want to capitalize. E.g., #SamAndCarterTieTheKnot
5. Avoid Easy Misspellings
This is very common, so you need to watch out for it. For example, instead of writing #SaraAndDave, write #DaveAndSara; to avoid misspelling of the double a.
6. Check Online for the Wedding Hashtag
The fact that you took time, effort and consultation to get your hashtag is not a guarantee that it is already not been used. So, please cross-check before you print it out.
7. Spread the Word
make sure you sing the hashtag so well that everyone knows it by the wedding day, and also make sure they are placed in strategic places at the wedding venue.
8. Don’t Overthink It
Hashtags are important, but they should also not be taken too seriously.
Don’t overthink your suggestions.
