It's no secret that the wedding hashtag is on the rise. For brides who are active on social media, the wedding hashtag serves as a great resource to help you document your special day. Not only does it allow you to curate a collection of photos from your wedding day, but it can also be used to share sneak peeks during your wedding process. Overall, a personalized wedding hashtag is the perfect tool to carve out a space on social media to highlight your special day.
Here are a few steps to consider when creating your wedding hashtag:
- BE CREATIVE - The most memorable hashtags are fun and lighthearted. Does your last name rhyme with a common wedding word or phrase? If so, incorporate it as a play on words (e.g. #TilDothDoUsPart).
- WHAT'S YOUR NAME AGAIN? - Consider all of your options: your first name, your middle name and popular nicknames. Don't forget about initials! Can you configure you and your fiance's initials to spell a word? (e.g. #DTheartsNM2015)
- MAKE IT READABLE - Sometimes it can be difficult to decipher what a hashtag says. To help eliminate this potentially horrific problem, capitalize each word within the hashtag. This should decrease any readability issues your guests might encounter with your hashtag (e.g. #NoProblemsPlease).
- HAS IT BEEN CLAIMED? - While you might think you have just come up with the best (and most original) wedding hashtag, there is a good chance it's already been used. Take the time to check if it has been used by using the search feature on Instagram and Twitter. The last thing you want is to have someone else's wedding photos intertwined with yours online!
- SPREAD THE WORD - Make sure your guests are aware that you have a wedding hashtag. While you might have been touting it on social media for a while, your guests will need more guidance. The best way to ensure that your guests utilize your hashtag is by incorporating signage into your decor that clearly states your wedding hashtag.
