A social media hashtag made specifically for you and your significant other is a fun way to share with your guests how they can tag you in photos from your wedding! With a hashtag you’ll be able to see all of the photos and videos taken at your wedding in one place! This will make it so convenient for you and your other half to relive the day by looking through all of the moments captured by your guests!
If you’re wondering if a wedding hashtag is necessary for you, it’s important to consider your guests and the type of ceremony you’ll be having. If you’re planning to have an “unplugged'' ceremony where guests will be asked to withhold from using their phones or you took a look at your guest list and noticed that most of your guests are not avid social media users then a wedding hashtag may not be the most useful for your event. However if you want to encourage your guests to use their phones to take photos and know that most of your guests will be able to utilize the hashtag then having a wedding/couple specific hashtag will work great for you!
Now that you decided to have a wedding hashtag it’s time to get to the fun part! Creating a hashtag specific to you and your partner can be difficult, but don’t worry we got you covered! Below are 4 ideas to help you create your perfect wedding hashtag!
Add Alliteration
An ideal hashtag is one that is easy to remember and type. Alliteration makes for typically very catchy and memorable wedding hashtags! An easy way to find words that start with the letter of your newly married last name or first names is by searching “Weddings words that start with the letter…” or choosing a word that you like such as “Love” and finding synonyms for this word that begin with your desired letter!

Make it Rhyme
Another way to make your wedding hashtag fun and catchy is to have it rhyme! There are websites such as Rhymezone that when you type in a word you want to rhyme with, it will generate numerous suggestions! If you’re having a difficult time finding words that rhyme with a specific word such as a last name, take the sound of the last syllable of the word that you want to rhyme with and find a word that’s similar and use that to input into the rhyme generator! For example, if you’re trying to find words that rhyme with “Robinson” instead of inputting the entire name into the rhyme generator try “son” or “run”. The system will most likely be able to find a lot more words that rhyme with the one syllable word! Once you find the word that you want to rhyme with, you can add words to make up for the rest of the syllables in your desired word to get a rhyming hashtag! #FoundTheOneInRobinson

Tell a Story
Contrary to popular belief, a wedding hashtag doesn’t need to include names or the year of the wedding! They can reference an inside joke, your favorite movie, or be linked to a story about the two of you. Hashtags like these can also be a great ice breaker for your guests to mingle with one another. If you’re highschool sweethearts the hashtag #PromDateToSoulmate might be perfect to symbolize how your relationship started and how long you’ve been together! Or if your favorite TV show to watch together is Star Trek the hashtag #WedLongAndProsper may be the perfect way to represent your shared interest in the sci-fi show!

Use Word Play
Looking for a hashtag that’s punny? Word play is the way to go! It sometimes can be difficult thinking of ways to word play your desired words into a hashtag. If you have a family member or friend who is witty or creative they may be able to help you in this area! But one way to start is by listing the words that you want included in your hashtag. After you have your list try to spend a few minutes on each word brainstorming words that sound/are spelt similarly. Now with your paper full of words you can think of some iconic wedding/love related phrases to try to input them into or see if you can combine any of your desired words together into a wordplay phrase!
