#WeddingGoals
So, what’s the deal with wedding hashtags?!
It seems like as soon as an engagement hits, all of your friends are asking about that perfect, funny little phrase that labels your whole wedding.
Truth time: it can cause a lot of pressure.
But don’t worry friend, I have all of the info to help you ease any jitters and help you create a tag that will wow everyone! In this blog I will cover:
- how to create one
- why to have one
- everything else you need to know to do it right
How to create one
1. Gather Information
start with your first and last names
date of the wedding
name of the venue
theme or wedding style
2. Get Some Inspiration
some typical tags are:
3. Think of Wedding Puns or Name Puns
4. Make a List
Ash's fav for her own is #OhhSweetChildOfMine.
5. Hashtag Generators
Be careful with these, because they can get a little generic, or give you ones that have been used before, which we are about to cover *cough* *cough*
6. Narrow it Down
Is it memorable?
Is it short enough that people will use it?
Are all words easy to spell?
Will there be misspelling mishaps?
Is it available on Insta?
7. Make Sure it is Unique
Check the hashtag on Instagram to make sure no one else is using it already, if that kind of thing is important to you
Why to have a hashtag
From engagement photos to the bachelorette party and the big day with a personal hashtag so everyone can share and see and remember all the special moments.
It provides a way to organize every photo in one place
People who can’t attend the wedding can see all the photos in real time
Tips
Capitalize the first letter of each word
Avoid things that can be easily misspelled, minus your names because those will be posted everywhere, so guests shouldn't have too hard of a time with it
Spread the word: make sure you have your tag easily accessible to guests on their invitation, save the dates, the reception, in big neon letters, sky writing... You, know, the usual stuff.
