However, before you start thinking of puns to share with your new spouse, you might find yourself wondering: Is it actually important? Wedding hashtags aren't exactly new to the market However, there's a good reason why they've remained popular over the decades.

 

If you're having an unplugged ceremony and reception most guests will post photos on Instagram at some point during or after the wedding. A personalized hashtag is a quick and easy method of capturing all the wonderful moments. In addition, it can encourage family members to share their photos on social media at all, meaning you can collect additional precious keepsakes from behind the scenes--because your wedding photographer is amazing and they're not all the time!

Of course, if don't want to come to a custom social media-related hashtag to your wedding checklist We totally understand. There are plenty of wedding hashtag generators that are free available online for help and professional services for writing hashtags. (Psst, keep reading to learn about our top.)

How to Make Your Own Wedding Hashtag

If you're wondering how to find the perfect wedding hashtag, but you don't know where to begin, don't worry--it's actually pretty simple. For your convenience, we've broken it down into six easy steps including expert advice from event designer Jesi Haack. We suggest grabbing a pen and paper so that you can start thinking about your ideas right away!

Step 1: Start with your initials.

This may be a bit obvious, but you should start by learning the basic concepts. Start with your initial nickname, last name, and even nicknames to get you started. Do you remember that adorable mash-up name that your buddies gave you in college? Now is the right time to take it on. "It makes it easier for guests to remember it which means that it will be used by more people who actually need this feature" Haack says.

 

Step 2: Make yourself funny.

This is one part of your nuptials you can really enjoy particularly when it comes to wordplay. Try to find rhymes, alliterations or puns, as well as synonyms for an invitation that is both clever and memorable. If you and your partner are completely stumped, enlist someone who is particularly funny to help you brainstorm or try a funny website to generate wedding hashtags.

Step 3 Utilize numbers.

If you don't have any distinctive names or aren't able to find something interesting (let's face it, some names just don't rhyme), using the date of your wedding or the year is an easy option to make it uniquely your individual. If you do not include any numbers, you'll run the risk of duplicating the wedding hashtag of another couple.

Step 4: Avoid simple spelling mistakes.

Check your draft for any obvious reasons why it might be misspelled by your guests at your wedding (especially as the drinks begin flowing). As an example, you might need to reduce longer names or move words around in the event that there are two letters in different words next to each other. It could be as simple as changing the spelling of #DaveAndSara to #DaveAndS to avoid a potentially dangerous Double "a."

 

Step 5: Capitalize the first alphabet of the word.

Capitalizing the first letter of every word will help improve reading comprehension, which allows guests to see clearly where each word starts and ends. It also makes the likelihood higher that people will all get the humorous or absurdity. It'll work the same way on social media posts with or without capitalization.

Step 6: Verify that it's not used before.

Before printing those save-the-dates, do a quick check of the hashtag used for the wedding to see whether there's been anything that has been tagged to it and, in case it was the number of photos. If there's only few other photos that don't seem wedding related it's fine to use it, but if there's a whole other wedding that has the exact hashtag, it's possible to swap a letter for an digit or choose a different rhyme to avoid confusion between the pictures. "Hijacking another's hashtag is not good," Haack says.

How to Tweet Your Wedding Hashtag

After you've made the final decision, now is the time to spread the word. You'll need to make people aware of your hashtag before the wedding day--the more they see it, the more likely they'll be to remember to utilize it at the appropriate time. Invite your wedding party to know about it, put it on your save-the-dates and don't forget to share your wedding's website! If you upload photos using the hashtag during your engagement (for instance, during the cake tasting or another exciting planning process) your guests will love getting an inside look at the day you'll remember forever.

 

At the time of the wedding it's also a great idea to keep some reminders at the venue. There are plenty of creative ways to show your hashtag at your event that include it, from incorporating it into your wedding decor (think: welcome signage) or printing the hashtag onto cute tables cards.
