The Importance of a Wedding Hashtag
Centralized Memories: Getting All Impressive Together
Imagine scrolling through Instagram and seeing all of your wedding photos in one convenient and beautifully organized hashtag. Hashtags keep everything in that one neat digital album instead of searching through many different places for guest photos.
What and how matters: Join Inspired Guest Programs
Everyone loves to share their experiences, and your wedding is no different. A well-advertised hashtag will get guests snapping and sharing those moments with you and provide you with a front-row view of how your big day appeared from their perspective.
The Sifting Process: Keeping It Personal
Your love story is unique, so why a name like #JimSarah2023? Adding a personalized hashtag to your wedding makes it that much more special!
A Broader Reach — Including those unable to attend
Not everyone will be able to participate in your wedding, but they shouldn’t have to miss out on the fun! A wedding hashtag is also a way for friends and family who are far away to keep up and celebrate with you remotely.
Forever Memory: A Digital Treasure of Your Family History
Consider your wedding hashtag a time capsule. Your hashtag will act as a beautiful digital scrapbook of all our heartwarming moments and happy celebrations, long after the wedding bells have finally rung.
Crafting the Perfect Hashtag
So, please keep it simple, keep it fresh, keep it memorable.
You want your guests to use your hashtag, after all. Make it short, sweet, and easy to remember. Do not use long or complex sentences that will be misspelled.
Customization with Names, Dates, and Themes: Making it Unique and Personal
Your identity should be identifiable through your hashtag. You could include your name, wedding date or an inside joke like #MeetTheMorgans or #ForeverFoster2024.
Check Availability (No One Else Is Using Your Name)
Before you commit to a specific hashtag, run a quick search on Instagram and Twitter. If it’s already in use by another couple, change it slightly to make it your wedding’s own.
Special Case: Capitalization Matters and Readability
They are hard to read, so please start them with a capital letter. Use #MeetTheMartins instead of #meetthemartins for clarity.

Wedding Invitations and Wedding Website: Using the Hashtag
Best: Include your hashtag on your wedding invitations and website to get it out there early. A simple “Share your memories with #SmithsSayIDo” can have tremendous reach.

Social Media Previews: Using Previews to Get Early Engagement
So get going on your hashtag before the wedding! You can share engagement photos, countdown moments, or behind-the-scenes wedding planning moments with the hashtag.
