The Purpose of the Wedding Hashtag
Hashtags are great for connecting all event content on social media. At your wedding, your guests can share photos and videos and all using the same hashtag. This makes it super easy to see all the posts from your big day! You can also use a hashtag in content leading up to your event. This can help keep all your wedding planning content connected to the big day. If you’re big on frequent content creation, maybe you have a hashtag for wedding prep, the bachelor or bachelorette party, AND the actual wedding day! In short, if you and your guests, along with wedding vendors, want to see all the fun content from your memorable day shared on social, a hashtag is great to view it all easily from the various people posting about it!
What Not To Include in a Hashtag
Be sure to not include any spaces or punctuation since hashtags don’t read them, and everything included after won’t be included. Don’t use any symbols, like dollar signs, asterisks, exclamation points, commas, periods, and apostrophes. This also means you have to type out the word, and can’t use the “and” symbol: &. If you were to try to do #WeddingofSarah&Joseph, only the #WeddingofSarah would be picked up since hashtags end wherever you place punctuation. Stick to the pound symbol at the beginning only. Period.
Poll The Audience
When it comes to creating a clever wedding hashtag, the more resources or assistance, the better! Don’t be afraid to ask the wedding party, a Fort Myers wedding Facebook group, or online wedding forums for help. A bestie or stranger may be able to help you decide between a few options or bring an idea to light that hasn’t even crossed your mind yet.
Rhyme Time
What’s more fun than a clever rhyme!? Since there are so many unique names, it’s best to first see what rhymes with you or your partner’s name to identify if anything is usable for your hashtag. Rhymezone helps identify all the words and phrases that rhyme with your name. You can also see what rhymes with your wedding location, last names, or any phrase!
Using a rhyme resource can quickly help you identify if a word is even applicable for a rhyming hashtag. For example, there are not too many romantic or wedding-themed words that rhyme with Sara or Tara, (unless you’re getting married at the Riviera or you love marinara?!), but there are more options for Taylor (#JoeplusTaylorisGreater), Britney (#MeetThomasandBritneyinTennesse), and Megan (#NoMoreMaidenMegan).
Sounds About Right
A play-on-words like #FairyTaylorWedding makes for a witty phrase that will impress! Using wordplay with phrases that sound similar to your first or last names is best for those wanting a creative hashtag. Here are a few examples:
- Popular pair phrases like “Two Peas in a Pod” “It Takes Two to Tango”
- Romantic sayings like “Lucky in Love”, “Love At First Sight”, and “Happily Ever After”
- Statements common to weddings, like “Getting Hitched”, “Down the Aisle”, “To Have and to Hold” or “Tying the Knot”
All these types of sayings can be manipulated slightly to make your wedding hashtag!
