How to Make a Wedding Hashtag
Depending on what elements you want included, it's actually pretty easy to make a wedding hashtag. To help you out, we've broken it down into six effortless steps. Grab a pen and paper and start brainstorming.
Step 1: Start With Your Names
This may be a bit obvious, but start with the basics. Use your first and last names or nicknames as a jumping-off point. Remember that cutesy combined name your friends gave you guys in college? Well, this is the perfect time to embrace it.
Step 2: Get Punny
Have fun with wordplay by looking for alliterations, rhymes, synonyms and puns for a wedding hashtag that's clever and memorable. If you and your partner are completely stumped, enlist a funny loved one to help you brainstorm or turn to a wedding hashtag generator or professional writer.
Step 3: Use Numbers
If you don't have any standout monikers or can't come up with anything quirky (let's face it, some names don't rhyme with anything), using your wedding date or year is an easy way to make it your own. Plus, if you don't add a number, you risk duplicating another couple's wedding hashtag.
Step 4: Avoid Easy Misspellings
Read over your final wedding hashtag draft for ways it could be misspelled by your wedding guests (especially when the drinks start flowing). For example, you may want to shorten longer last names or move words around if the same letter appears in different words next to each other. It could be as simple as flipping #SaraAndDave to #DaveAndSara to avoid a hazardous double "a."
Step 5: Capitalize the First Letter of Each Word
Capitalizing the first letter of each word can help with readability, allowing guests to clearly see where each word begins and ends. This'll make it more likely that everyone will get your wedding hashtag puns. Plus, it'll work the same way on social media posts with or without capitalization. (Help your guests out by adding the proper spelling and capitalization of your hashtag on your wedding website FAQ page.)
Step 6: Check That the Hashtag Hasn't Been Used Before
Before you print those save-the-dates, check if your potential wedding hashtag is one of the trending wedding hashtags on Instagram and, if so, how many photos are connected to it. If there's only a handful of pictures that don't seem wedding related, go ahead and use it, but if there's another wedding with the same hashtag, you may want to switch a letter to a number or pick a different rhyme to avoid getting the photos mixed up.
How to Share Your Wedding Hashtag
Once you pick your wedding hashtag, share it with everyone. You can incorporate it into just about anything, from the save-the-dates to your wedding website. (This is why immediately sharing your wedding website with guests is crucial.) Sharing your hashtag early on with guests encourages them to use it. If you post photos with the hashtag throughout your engagement, your guests will feel like they're getting a sneak peek of your wedding. Just remember, wedding hashtags are public, which means anyone can use it and there's no way to claim or reserve it. That's why it's best to create a hashtag that's as unique as possible so no one else will have the same one as you.
On the wedding day, it's also a good idea to have a few reminders on site. There are lots of cool ways to display your hashtag around your venue. Consider including it on a personalized sign (which you can create on The Knot Invitations) next to your wedding QR code in your photo booth area or printing it on cocktail napkins.
