Wedding Hashtag Help is Here!

What Not To Include in a Hashtag

Be sure to not include any spaces or punctuation since hashtags don’t read them. Everything after punctuation marks will be cut out from your hashtag. 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. Hashtags end wherever you place punctuation, so stick to the pound symbol at the beginning only. Period.

Online Wedding Hashtag Generators

There are free online wedding hashtag generators that help eliminate having to use any human brainpower! These resources collect information about you and your partner, plus your wedding date and location to come up with options for you. There are popular online websites that provide a hashtag generator, like WeddingWire and Shutterfly. The sole purpose of some companies is to assist in the creation of a wedding hashtag, like Wedding Hashers. They employ actual writers to help you come up with something original after collecting as much information as possible.

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 word or phrase!

Using a rhyme resource can quickly help you identify if a word is even applicable for a rhyming hashtag. For example, there’s 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! A creative hashtag can be made by using wordplay with phrases that sound similar to your first or last names. There are many 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”, or numerous statements common to weddings, like “Getting Hitched”, “Down the Aisle”, “To Have and to Hold” or “Tying the Knot” that can be manipulated slightly to make your wedding hashtag.

Poll The Audience

When it comes to creating a clever wedding hashtag, the more resources, and assistance, the better! Don’t be afraid to ask the wedding party, a Lansing 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.
